Wallbox software updated to 5.7.18 this morning. Both cars charged, so cannot check now, but hopefully the charge power reporting is fixed now.
Issue with Charging power is still not solved after upgrade to new firmwareš
Maybe in next version
@Oriol_FP may be you can monitor this for us internally?
Hi @RienduPre
Did you raise the issue to our post-sale service here Contacto - Wallbox Academy?
Did they provide you any ticket ID tracker?
Thanks
Indeed. I can confirm, the problem persists. Boomer, I had such good hopes.
I have had a long e-mail exchange with customer service that did not lead to a resolution:
0kw sessions /SN:104211 [ ref:_00D1tvaEj._5007U3HfhB:ref ]
Does that reference help?
This is a link to the .pdf with the full exchange: Google Drive: Sign-in
I had direct contact with @Oriol_FP
The bug I reported is known with a high priority, but most bugs are high priority.
They hope this will be fixed in the next release.(fingers crossed)
Hello, Iām currently using the official integration, I guess the OOTB, but I would like to try the custom to have the pause switch.
What do I have to do to use the custom?
Thanks in advance
Hi, I expect the switch to be included in the next hass release. So, I suggest waiting a few days and updating hass
I updated a while ago from the HACS to the official release and lost the pause and lock functions. When you say the āhass releaseā is that the official (not HACS) release? Waiting with impatience .
Thanks again for this great integration.
Yes, it is in the current bĆØta release
@hesselonline what would be required to allow your integration to be usable to track consumption on the Energy dashboard? I understand that the only counter we have available is the āadded energyā one, which possibly resets at every session. Do you think it would be feasible to add another one to track the incremental usage with the required specs from the Energy dashboard?
I see some info here: Sensor Entity | Home Assistant Developer Docs but I donāt know whether/how this applies in your integrationās case. Iād love to help if possible, and I wonder if you already considered the thing.
Would an integration of charging power and a utility meter on that integration not do that trick?
Of course that will only work as soon as Wallbox fixes the charger power reporting, but that is supposed to be in the works.
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
ev_charger_power:
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.wallbox_portal_charging_power') | float * 1000) | round(0) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "W"
- platform: integration
source: 'sensor.ev_charger_power
name: energy_consumed_ev
method: left
unit_prefix: k
unit_time: h
round: 3
utility_meter:
energy_consumed_ev_meter:
source: sensor.energy_consumed_ev
cycle: yearly
What exactly do you mean with incremental usage? Total usage over time? We donāt have any API data on that, so you would have to create that using a template or maybe using the utility meter function in hass.
I have exactly the same issue on HA and in the Wallbox app connected with WiFi. It reads properly in the Wallbox app connected via Bluetooth.
Weird issue.
Mine has never worked properly to show charge power on wifi. Continually drops to 0 but in the app on Bluetooth it shows constant power.
Hello to everyone using this excellent integration for Wallbox Pulsar Plus. Congratulations to the repo owner Hessel on a great piece of work, allowing EV owners like myself to charge their cars under control of Home Assistant.
For the past 5 months Iāve been working on a Dashboard using Node-RED, with the eventual aim of automating my charging sessions to use mostly solar power and avoiding buying power from the grid as much as possible. With winter almost here in New Zealand, that is proving to be a bit of a challenge, but on sunny days I can still get over 6kW from my solar panels for an hour or two in the middle of the day.
After reading this thread from the beginning, I realise that my use case is similar to several others here, so I hope we can help each other along the way. My Dashboard was originally built using an OCPP integration to do the work behind the scenes, but in just a day or so, Iāve converted it to use this integration, which is better for Wallbox owners in most respects.
One thing Iām missing from the OCPP integration is a sensor giving āSession Durationā data. This is available at the bottom of the Dashboard in Wallbox Portal, as followsā¦
Looking at the HTML code on that page, shows the following snippets associated with that objectā¦
<td data-test-id="sessionDuration" class="wallbox-row-item-wrapper left" style="width: auto; min-width: 100px;" data-v-130a5554="" data-v-0cf636c4="" data-v-3088fa8c-s=""><div class="wallbox-row-item" data-v-130a5554="">37m</div></td>
<div class="wallbox-row-item" data-v-130a5554="">37m</div>
Is there something I could do to help develop a sensor providing the Session Duration?
Then I would have pretty much everything I used with the OCPP integration, as well as the Pause/Resume function which is perfect for solar integration.
P.S. I should mention that Iām using the āCustom Componentsā version of this integration installed with HACS, not the official HASS version.
Iād look at the history stats integration. It has a timer.
Good suggestion, thanks Rob
Do you have the Wallbox Power Boost option installed? With that you can enable Eco-Smart and the Wallbox will automatically charge with excess solar power. It works very well.
Not quite sure what you want to use the session duration for, so this may not be an answer for you.
You could run a two automations using āsensor.wallbox_portal_status_descriptionā as the trigger to start and stop a timer?
