The Ohme Home Pro is one of the most advanced smart EV chargers available today, combining strong technical performance, a user-friendly app, and built-in compatibility with leading energy tariffs like SSE Airtricity's EnergiHub. For homeowners in Ireland looking to maximise cost savings and convenience when charging their electric vehicle, the Ohme Home Pro is a strong contender.
But with new EV chargers launching regularly and solar charging growing in popularity, how well does the Ohme Home Pro stack up in 2025? Let’s break it down.
✅ Smart app with deep tariff integration
✅ Colour LCD screen for at-the-unit control
✅ Built-in 3G/4G connectivity (no need for Wi-Fi)
✅ Compatible with most major EVs
✅ Available with 5m or 8m tethered cable
✅ Solar boost mode (supplemental solar charging)
✅ Built-in open PEN protection
It’s particularly useful if you’ve switched – or are planning to switch to SSE Airtricity's EnergiHub, where the Ohme Home Pro is one of the few devices that unlocks the full benefits of this tariff, even if your car isn’t natively supported.
Ohme’s app was one of the early standouts in the smart EV charging market, and while others have caught up, its tariff-aware scheduling is still among the best.
Rather than setting a fixed start/stop time, you simply tell the app what battery percentage you want and by when. Ohme takes care of the rest. Charging when electricity is cheapest and ensuring your car is ready when needed.
The app now includes handy features like:
💡 Tip from WattCharger: If your vehicle supports API integration, you’ll get the smoothest experience. Otherwise, features are still excellent but might require a bit more setup.
The colour LCD screen on the Home Pro sets it apart from many competitors. While it’s not a touchscreen (controls are via physical buttons), it allows you to:
For users who don’t want to rely on a phone or for those helping family members with setup, the screen can be a real plus.
The Home Pro is compact when viewed head-on but can feel a little bulky from side angles. While not the most design-forward unit on the market, it’s functional and weather-resistant, with a solid, factory-sealed build.
It includes a built-in open PEN fault device, a significant advantage when it comes to easier, tidier, and safer installation in Irish homes.
The cable holster has been updated to a black finish that blends better with the main unit, although it still juts out slightly, worth considering in tight spaces.
If you have solar panels, the Ohme Home Pro does offer a “solar boost” mode. It supplements grid power with solar when excess energy is available but always draws at least 1.4kW from the grid.
