Der [SmartHütte Podcast](https://podcast.smarthuette.de/) ist ein technischer, nerdiger Podcast rund um Smart Home, Self Hosting und andere Technikthemen.
Die Hosts [Andrej Friesen](https://techhub.social/@ajfriesen) und [Thomas Wiebe](https://mas.to/@behweh) sprechen regelmäßig über ihre Erfahrungen mit Home Assistant, Kubernetes, Hosting und allem, was die beiden interessiert.

Ich war zu Gast in der aktuellen Episode und habe über das evcc-Projekt gesprochen.

## Worum geht's?

In der über zweistündigen Episode sprechen wir über die Entstehung von evcc und PV-Überschussladen.
Es geht um Wallboxen und wie smart sie wirklich sind – und welche Probleme entstehen, wenn Hersteller sie zu smart machen wollen.
Es geht um die Herausforderungen der Fahrzeugintegration, Cloud-Abhängigkeiten und den EU Data Act.
Wir diskutieren das Sponsoring-Modell, den Weg von YAML-Konfiguration zur grafischen Oberfläche und wie evcc und Home Assistant sich gegenseitig ergänzen – von der Integration über MQTT bis zur Nutzung von Home Assistant-Entitäten als evcc-Geräte und andersherum.
Außerdem: Prognosen, Optimizer, KI-generierte Pull Requests und die Frage, ab wann man seine Kaffeemaschine wirklich mit PV-Überschuss steuern sollte.

The [SmartHütte Podcast](https://podcast.smarthuette.de/) is a technical, nerdy podcast about smart home, self-hosting and other tech topics.
Hosts [Andrej Friesen](https://techhub.social/@ajfriesen) and [Thomas Wiebe](https://mas.to/@behweh) regularly discuss their experiences with Home Assistant, Kubernetes, hosting and everything else that interests them.

I was a guest on the latest episode and talked about the evcc project.

## What's it about?

In the over two-hour episode, we discuss the origins of evcc and solar surplus charging.
We talk about wallboxes and how smart they really are – and what problems arise when manufacturers want to make them too smart.
We talk about the challenges of vehicle integration, cloud dependencies and the EU Data Act.
We discuss the sponsoring model, the journey from YAML configuration to graphical interface and how evcc and Home Assistant complement each other – from integration via MQTT to using Home Assistant entities as evcc devices and vice versa.
Also: forecasts, optimizer, AI-generated pull requests and the question of when you should really control your coffee machine with solar surplus.
