Troubleshooting Erratic Behavior in Solar Electricity Router for Excess PV Power Management
Hello, I need help. I'm trying to make a router for solar electricity. The goal is to direct the excess electricity produced by the PV panels to a household resistive load rather than sending it to the grid for free.
Reading the teleinfo port of the Linky meter works very well.
When I use the dimmer library in one of the example sketches, my incandescent bulb works perfectly.
But, in my router sketch, the bulb behaves erratically. I've been working on this for a month. If you could help me, thank you.

In electricity Kirchhoff's current law states that the sum of currents at a node equals zero
the energy you produce will be consumed by your equipment
You want to activate your water heater if your apparent power (PAPP) is below a certain threshold (0 watts, for example)
In that case it will be the threshold at which you send electricity to the grid
Did I get that right?
What kind of TRIAC is it?
@nour_oud Yes, I set a threshold at 5 watts. It gives me a small margin. If PAPP < 5 watts, the dimmer makes a resistor consume electricity.

Can you film your light bulb?
I mean only if you want to 😅🤗
