Wallbox pulsar plus integration?

Third party integrations

You can then customize and install other software on the Wallbox which use a Raspberry Pi inside. There is no need to change the firmware.
I guess you can read this whole thread.

Ok,
I have read about the follwoing topic before when I purchased it many months ago spring 2023

“Gain root access to Wallbox Pulsar Plus and Copper SB. This only works if you are running firmware v5.x.x. If you are running v6.x.x you can try restoring to original settings to see if your Wallbox came originally with v5.x.x from the factory. Once rooted, firmware updates shouldn’t remove root access.”

To make it clear: you can root it and after that it can be used as usual but with the additional features coming along as a root users like adding software.

I knew that they had been using a raspberry pi 3 compute module something similiar from pic and that they had not been hit by supply shortages in 2021 and 2022.

I have seen the pi board when I had installed it on my own.

So it is just that I have to do the root steps at my current firmware level and then would enrich my abilities?

I will read further - thanks.

Yes, definitely!

Yep, it is confusing. The Periodically resetting option in utility meter is information about the source entity. It tells Utility meter, that if the source entity’s new value is lower than the one before, there must have been a meter reset in the source entity (a new charge cycle in this case). If that happens the new value is added to the previous total (because it is the first measurement of the new charge cycle).

The cycle is when the utility meter itself should reset. So by not setting it, it won’t ever reset and keep totalling.

So you can also use a daily total as a source to create a monthly utility meter. That what it was intended for originally I think.

yes, that is a really important piece in such cases like this to puzzle a new counter together like the cheap(er) energy measuring plugs which came with an app but without ha support and a daily resetting counter.

And only adding up those values measured in the deivce / plug once a reset must have happend is most likely far more accurate and longer than doing and relying on the math of integrations, I mean the riemann sum integral.

If your home assistant is down then for all the time of such break these counters are missing the values and will never get those back, while this kind of reverse utilitymeter is simply waiting for the next moment of a reset. If the HA server breaks down from 2 am to 9 pm then the sensors and this kind of utility meter will not loose anything till 9 pm cause at 09:01 pm the last state of the devices counters will arrive in home assistant cause those devices will have continued to count.
Those figures would only get lost if those would be reset at midnight an no HomeAssistant back before midnight.

I have bookmarked this topic to not forget.
Thanks for emphasizing again.

Hi
Can you explain how it can be fixed?
