@lostOzone - I used a separate circuit with its own Utility Meter, so I know there wasn’t any other usage. What do you mean by ‘DIM counter’ ?
I’ve charged the car yesterday for 3 hours and 10 minutes at 6A (4,2 kW) = ±13,5 kWh.
the added energy reported by the Wallbox shows 13,5 kWh.

I meant the MID meter used to invoice. I’ve installed one to calculate the real loss during the charges. From the Wallbox website:
What is an MID Meter?
An MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) Meter is a certified power meter that records the energy consumption of your Wallbox charger installation with high accuracy. Complying with the MID standard, it provides precise energy readings, ensuring that you can use this data for billing or reimbursement purposes.

@Krivatri - Looks like your Wallbox is a lot more accurate than mine. When charging @ 6A, mine says 1.2kW (single phase) whereas it should say 1.4kW. It has always read significantly on the low side.
I’m not too worried about it because nobody pays me for energy used in charging my EV. It would be different if I had an employer or someone else who needed accurate invoices as @lostOzone does. Then it would make sense to install an MID meter.
Most of my energy comes from solar (especially during summer), so I can’t complain about that

do you have a power boost meter installed?
I have one installed, maybe the Wallbox gets the values from this device, but I’m not sure.
No, I don’t have a Power Boost meter installed. Maybe that’s the reason, as you say.
My Wallbox also gives a very poor measurement of the charging power. I know because I have a calibrated power meter connected to it for use in HA.
I also have a Power Boost meter connected. That however does NOT give the Wallbox a charging power/energy reading. The Power Boost meter measures the whole house current so the Wallbox can protect the main fuse. In my case that is helpful because I only have a 50A single phase mains connection. The Power Boost function is really a power limit function. The Wallbox will constrain the charging to keep the total current well below 50A. Works a charm when charging, cooking and washing f.i.

Hey there
Just noticed that my Pulsar plus is offering a new firmware version 6.7.17. Anyone know if this suffers from the same issue as 6.6.x which broke the mqtt bridge? According to the changelog it should make the compatibility better with some cars which I am interested in. I get occasional charging errors on the car after the charging is interrupted or paused which is purely cosmetic but would be nice to get rid off. I am not willing to sacrify the mqtt stuff though because of this…
Not of any help, but I have the same question.
The Wallbox (s/w 5.17.87) has not been updated for a while. Mine is rock solid, always charging when expected, not loosing WiFi connection, playing nice with HA elaborate automations (SoC limit, under-voltage protection, over-voltage protection, solar absorption).
I very much hesitate to update. Too many occasions where a s/w update ruined the experience (including my Polestar 2).
EDIT:
Now I’m confused. I use the HA Wallbox integration (@hesselonline). I assume (never assume) that is independent of the MQTT implementation (@jagheterfredrik) and hence should work with the update to 6.7.17? Can anybody confirm?
This post on the Github repo mentions version 6.7.17…
Looks like it will break the MQTT bridge 
yes - the HA wallbox integration works over the cloud of Wallbox. MQTT is local.
I would not update beyond 6.4; if ever Wallbox decide to pull the plug on their cloud subscription at least you can always install the MQTT software.
Thank you. I just won’t update. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
