Honest comparison for ev charging homes

1app.energy vs the Ohme app: which job belongs where?

Ohme plans the vehicle charge. 1app.energy helps show what that charging meant for your solar use, home battery, grid import and daily cost.

The 1app.energy view depends on connected devices, available measurements and the selected date.

The quick answer

Use both, but give each app the right job.

Keep the Ohme app for pairing, vehicle and tariff setup, routine creation, price caps and the complete smart-charging workflow. Use 1app.energy to see available Ohme plans and charging beside the battery, solar, grid and daily cost. On supported, verified homes where EV control is customer-enabled, 1app.energy can also update an existing Ohme target and ready-by time and start or stop charging.

Capability by capability

A comparison without false checkmarks

The useful question is not which app has more features. It is which app is better suited to the job in front of you.

Real decisions

Which app should you open?

You need the car ready for a departure time

Use Ohme to create the routine, choose the tariff and set any price cap. On supported, verified homes where EV control is customer-enabled, 1app.energy can update an existing target and ready-by time.

You want to know what charging did to the home battery

Open 1app.energy to compare the charging period with battery discharge, solar generation, grid import and tariff pricing.

The smart schedule looks wrong

Start in the Ohme app because it owns the tariff selection, vehicle target and charge plan. Use 1app.energy to inspect the wider home result.

What to know first

Honest limits matter

Compatibility, data quality and control readiness depend on the equipment and account connected to the home.

  • Ohme onboarding and monitoring are available for supported connected chargers, but available plan fields depend on the charger and account.
  • Create routines, price caps and the full smart-charging setup in Ohme. 1app.energy can update an existing target and ready-by time only on supported, verified homes where EV control is customer-enabled.
  • Whole-home conclusions depend on the inverter, battery, grid and tariff measurements available to 1app.energy.
  • Ohme write controls use an unofficial provider interface and may be unavailable or paused. Keep the Ohme app for pairing, connectivity, faults, security and manufacturer support.

Common questions

Straight answers before you choose

Does 1app.energy replace the Ohme app?

No. Keep Ohme for charger setup, targets, routines, tariff-led scheduling and support. 1app.energy adds whole-home context.

Can 1app.energy show what Ohme charging did to my battery?

Where the required devices and measurements are available, 1app.energy compares supported EV demand with battery, solar, grid and tariff data from the same periods.

Can 1app.energy change an Ohme charge plan?

On supported, verified homes where EV control is customer-enabled, 1app.energy can update an existing Ohme target and ready-by time and start or stop charging. Use Ohme to create routines, set price caps and manage the complete smart schedule.

Will every Ohme charger show the same information?

No. Available data depends on the charger, account permissions, provider access and the other connected measurements in the home.
