Sent a message when Zoe is charged in 99%

Hello together,

I have a problem to create a automation, that HA inform me when my Renault Zoe is in 99% charged.
I would like to get this info of course only one time and only when the car is charging.

I hope You can help me.

Best regards,
kamil

Swap your condition and trigger.

Trigger on battery level when it’s above 99

with the condition that the car is charging.

Now you will only be notified once when it crosses this threshold.

The condition is optional. I don’t think the battery is going to somehow go above 99 when it’s not charging.

What you’ve done is “tell me when the car is charging”. As soon as you plug it in, it will trigger, then hit the condition (which will most likely be false). Then stop…until you unplug it and change the charging state.

Thank You Jim for Your reply.

ok, I have swapped the condition with the trigger.

By the condition I have now:

  • condition type: state
  • entity: binary_sensor.vf1ag000764813366_charging

what should I write in “state”? On, true or something else?

Yes, You have right that the battery don’t go above 99 without charging. My reflection was to don’t get any messages when the battery stay longer above the 99% or I go with the car with 98% and due to recuperation get back to 99%. Of course the possibility for that is minimally…

You want numeric_state not state, then above 99 (or 98 if you prefer).

I mean the sensor “ binary_sensor.vf1ag000764813366_charging” to get the answer if the car is Charing or not.

Oh sorry, yeah

state: 'on' 

Ok, thank You. I will check it by the next charging.

Unless you charged it to 100%, switched off the charging then restart HA.
That will trigger it again if there is no condition that the charger is on or car is charging.

Ok, so we have found already the 1st reason why we should use in this case the conditions :wink:

Unfortunately don’t work.
Because at the beginning it has one or two time worked, is it possible that the mode should be “restart” and not “single (default)”?
