Hey all,
I have heard that there is a way to make the EV charger visible in vrm as seperate load and predicted load. You can actually edit the predicted load which is really cool. I was hoping this will also work for third party EV chargers and i heard that vrm already has an EV charger virtual device in the beta version of Venus OS.
It would be really cool to make a node-RED script that gets the charging plan of the charger via EVCC and MQTT and puts it in as a predicted load. Do you guys think that would be possible? The plan is accesable and the payload looks like this:
plan = [{"start":"2026-07-01T10:45:00+02:00","end":"2026-07-01T11:00:00+02:00","value":0.11101000000000001},{"start":"2026-07-01T11:15:00+02:00","end":"2026-07-01T11:30:00+02:00","value":0.11605}
I hope Victron makes this possible in vrm to overwrite the prediction via node-RED. The node-RED function itself is probably pretty easy.
Just some thoughts, maybe people are also interested in this project and share ideas
