Hi
I am from Product Innovation & Research Team at Wallbox
It’s great to see you are helping each other on building valuable integrations and automations.

We are interested in finding new ways to bring value to you through the control of different energy devices but not only the charger to optimise your household expenses or to use greener energy. This means controlling and optimizing PV use, stationary batteries, heat pumps, etc…
Thus, if you would like to participate in our research we will be more than happy to hear your pains regarding your home energy management.

Feel free to fill the forms if you are interested: [https://forms.gle/EUWt5tt1TvcED8HC6]

If you have any other doubts I am also happy to help you. Contact me directly at [email protected]

WARNING! NEW! From 04/05/2022 ahead I may not answer emails about issues and topics. I am so sorry for that but I have to focus my time on doing product innovation and research. If you find any bug or have any issue, please:

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.

225

Issue with Charging power is still not solved after upgrade to new firmware😞
Maybe in next version

@Oriol_FP may be you can monitor this for us internally?

226

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

227

Indeed. I can confirm, the problem persists. Boomer, I had such good hopes.

228

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

229

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, I’m 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

231

Hi, I expect the switch to be included in the next hass release. So, I suggest waiting a few days and updating hass :wink:

I updated a while ago from the HACS to the official release and lost the pause and lock functions. When you say the ‘hass release’ is that the official (not HACS) release? Waiting with impatience :slight_smile: .

Thanks again for this great integration.

233

Yes, it is in the current bèta 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 “added energy” 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 don’t know whether/how this applies in your integration’s case. I’d love to help if possible, and I wonder if you already considered the thing.

235

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
236

What exactly do you mean with incremental usage? Total usage over time? We don’t 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.

237

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.

238

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 I’ve 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, I’ve converted it to use this integration, which is better for Wallbox owners in most respects.

One thing I’m missing from the OCPP integration is a sensor giving ‘Session Duration’ data. This is available at the bottom of the Dashboard in Wallbox Portal, as follows…

HA - Session Duration
HA - Session Duration2127×362 32.6 KB

Looking at the HTML code on that page, shows the following snippets associated with that object…

<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 I’m using the “Custom Components” version of this integration installed with HACS, not the official HASS version.

I’d look at the history stats integration. It has a timer.

Good suggestion, thanks Rob :+1:
