Wallbox EV charger Pause/Resume switch functionality

Feature Requests
2

Would recommend to solve this with automations. The on/off is cloud related and doesn’t work unless the charger is unlocked. I also use EV smart charging, my wb Pulsar plus is rooted though so i control it locally.

For inspiration my automation below:


alias: EV Smart Charging

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.ev_smart_charging_charging
    to: "on"
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
    id: "on"
  - platform: state

    id: "off"

            then:
              - type: turn_off

                domain: switch
            else:
              - if:
                  - condition: and
                    conditions:
                      - condition: state
                        entity_id: sensor.wallbox_status

                      - condition: state
                        entity_id: sensor.ev_smart_charging_charging
                        state: "on"
                then:
                  - type: turn_on
                    device_id: 011eb97a0b27faf7ac9c7378ef475dff
                    entity_id: 70ff19bf5027b240420492032eacb858
                    domain: switch
    default: []
mode: queued
max: 10

You could in your case play around with the availability of the switch, eg make it a condition or a trigger:

  - condition: not
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: switch.wallbox_portal_pause_resume
        state: unavailable
    enabled: false

Alternatively you can try to root your wallbox, information is available on this forum:
