Just made my automation today and came here for the exact same question. A related question is: will repeatedly setting AMA to its current value cause a flash write ? If so, please make sure that this does not happen. Now clients will have to build logic to check before writing. And I think I will add logic to my own code as well to not change ama before I am 0.5A past the optimal shift level to get fewer changes. If I can code it. |

It seems like the appropriate way to implement load balancing may now be If so, we are still only pushing total grid consumption through Thoughts? |

Setting ids will not do load balancing and will not prevent the main fuse being blown. It will make sure (if fup is set) that you only use surplus PV energy to charge your car. You are quite right that you need the highest phase load for load balancing. That is what my load balancing script above is doing. |

The ModBus API specification makes a distinction between AMPERE_VOLATILE (Amps Value for the PWM signaling in whole amps of 6-32A) that is not saved in EEPROM and AMPERE_EEPROM that is. So it is very likely that ama is cached in RAM and not every change is written directly to flash memory. I would like a confirmation from the developers on that. |

Hi ... I came here with exactly the same question and the fear to wear out the flash of the device. Is there a consensus that it is safe to use "ama" to do dynamic load balacing with potentially 1000's of writes per day? Thanks! |

Thanks for the reply! Do you mean you (mis)use the "ids"-key (to set pGrid, pPv, pAkku)? Browsing the API-keys, I have found the "pgt" which has a descrition "pGridTarget in W". Does anybody use this key for dynamic load balancing? |

With a wallbox, a heat pump, an induction stove and a 3x25A grid connection some load balanciing is needed. I want to implement it "cloud free" and also manufacturer independent. I use Home Assistant in my home and will use that also for load balancing as nearly everything is connected to HA.
The ama key is the obvious key to tell the go-e charger how much current it may use, together with fsp (or should I use psm?) to set single or three phase charging.
Two questions:
The ama setting is preserved over a restart and even over an external power cycle. This means it is stored in non-volatile memory. Is there a danger of wearing out flash memory by frequently setting this key.
I presume that single phase charging always uses phase 1. Is this correct?
