I don't think it's possible to deal with instantaneous spikes in current consumption like turning on an electric kettle. A partial solution would be to change the max current based on some schedule: higher limit at night, lower limit during daytime.
Ok. I haven't had the time to read their documentation thoroughly yet, but have you read somewhere that Zaptec do not recommend changing more often than that? Or did you mean to write 5 min perhaps.
I contacted their swedish support about this and they replied:
Enegic (a "dynamic" load balancing unit that can communicate with Zaptec EV-chargers) communicates via our open API's, they're sending heartbeats every 5 minutes and then adjustments when needed.
So perhaps I could do the same.
Any limitations on the LM side that you can think of?
