Phaeton

Connect your KEBA to Victron

Phaeton runs on your Victron system and adds your KEBA P30 c/x, P40 / P40 Pro as a Victron EV charging station. It shows in VRM and charges the car from solar surplus.

What you get

  • Your charger appears in VRM and on the Victron display with its charging power and status.
  • Auto mode follows the solar production and household use your Victron system measures, not only the grid meter.
  • Manual, Auto and Scheduled charging from Phaeton's own page on your Victron system.
  • Switches between one and three phases when the charger allows it, so charging can start with less sun.
  • Sets the current in steps smaller than 1 A, so the Auto mode Feed-in can follow the power going to the grid in 0.2 A steps.

Why not the charger's own solar mode?

A charger's own solar mode usually reads only the grid meter. With a Victron home battery, the battery takes the surplus first, so the meter shows little export and the charger keeps waiting. Phaeton reads production and use from the Victron system itself.

Before you buy

A Victron system running Venus OS. Installation guide

For the KEBA P30 c/x, P40 / P40 Pro:

Requires a model with an energy meter and Modbus TCP enabled. P30 c-series requires firmware 3.10.42; x-series requires 1.11. Configure EMS failsafe current to 0 A and timeout to 30–600 seconds.

P20, units without a meter and rebadged models are outside this integration. Phase switching requires a phase switch such as the KEBA S10 on contact X2, with Modbus as its switching source. Phaeton checks its phase switching only while no car is plugged in.

One license per charger

€99 for your first charger, €49 for each extra charger in the same household. Updates included, 30-day refund.
