evcc - solar charging

evcc - solar charging is an open-source Android app for accessing an evcc installation on a home network. It is intended for people who use evcc to coordinate electric-vehicle charging with available solar power or with electricity that is clean and affordable. The app requires evcc to be installed on a device at home, such as a Raspberry Pi, Windows, macOS, or Linux Docker system.

The app can automatically detect an evcc server on the local network. After connecting, it lets the user interact with the evcc user interface from an Android device. A demo instance is available for testing the app before connecting it to a local installation. Its light and dark modes adapt to the device settings.

evcc itself is open-source software that runs at home and works with many photovoltaic and battery systems. It can control electric-vehicle chargers from a wide range of manufacturers and can use an online car interface for controls such as charging schedules, minimum charging, and charging limits. The wider evcc system also supports dynamic electricity tariffs, smart plugs, balcony solar systems, and small home batteries.

The application is listed in the Internet & Browsers category because it provides access to a locally running web-based evcc service rather than replacing that service. MirrorNest distributes the official Android build directly from its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing. The Android package is therefore suited to users who need a mobile way to reach their existing home evcc instance.
