v1.7.0-dev4

Bug Fixes

• Fixed reschedule issue. @jonasbkarlsson (#136)

v1.7.0-dev3

Notice

• Have added some logging on INFO level.
• If the "debounce" function works as expected, the follow three lines should be seen in the logs.

2023-02-19 21:16:26.638 INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.ev_smart_charging.helpers.general] debounced.wait_time= 1.0
2023-02-19 21:16:27.640 INFO (Thread-16) [custom_components.ev_smart_charging.helpers.general] debounced.call_function()
2023-02-19 21:16:27.642 INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.ev_smart_charging.coordinator] Turn on charging

• The first line could appear multiple times.

• The second line should only appear once and should not be running in the MainThread.

• The third line should only appear once and should be running in the MainThread. (Instead of Turn on, it could be Turn off.)

• If anyone is using this pre-release, please let me know in #131 how it works.

• Also, I had trouble with my charger, and had to reboot it. Maybe the problems I saw were due to a charger problem. I have so far not been able to recreate the problem in my development environment.

v1.7.0-dev2

Notice

There seems to be some serious problems with v1.7.0-dev1.
I have opened a new issue #131 for this.

v1.7.0-dev1

New Features

• Added charging status. @jonasbkarlsson (#127)

Bug Fixes

• Make sure charger is turned off when disconnected. @jonasbkarlsson (#121)
• Added debounce for turning on and off the charger. @jonasbkarlsson (#129)

v1.6.0

New Features

• Added support of Energi Data Service. @jonasbkarlsson (#108)
  In addition to Nordpool, now also the Energi Data Service integration can be used to get the electricity prices.
• Opportunistic charging. @jonasbkarlsson (#106)
  If the electricity price of the last hour tomorrow is very low, that often means that the prices next night will be low. If charging fully every night is not important, activate this feature to save on the electricity cost.

Changes

• Removed configuration items. @jonasbkarlsson (#107)
  In v1.5.0, configuration entities were added to enable changing some of the configuration parameteres by service calls or from the dashboard. The previous way to change these parameters using Settings -> Devices & Services -> Integrations -> EV Smart Charging -> Configure were still possible. However, in this release, that way of changing these parameters are removed. Note that the configuration entities can be changed here Settings -> Devices & Services -> Integrations -> EV Smart Charging -> 1 device -> Configuration.

v1.5.2

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue with keep charger on. @jonasbkarlsson (#100)

v1.5.1

Bug Fixes

• Removed Python 3.10 code. @jonasbkarlsson (#96)
  NOTE: This problem only affected those who are using Python 3.9.

Maintenance

• Test with different Python versions. @jonasbkarlsson (#97)

v1.5.0

Changes

• Changed conditions for rescheduling. @jonasbkarlsson (#78)
  With this change, there will be a rescheduling at the end of each charging period. If charging for some reasons have been done less than expected, additional charging will be scheduled to reach the target SOC. For non-continuous charging, the following charging periods might be shortened, if the charging for some reason have been done more than expected. NOTE: For those with manually controlled EV SOC entities, please read the documentation carefully in order to make this work properly! In short, set the EV SOC entity to 100 after charging, e.g., as part of an automation that sets switch.ev_smart_charging_ev_connected.

New Features

• Added charge start time configuration parameter. @jonasbkarlsson (#90)
• Service calls to dynamically control all configuation parameters that affect charging. @jonasbkarlsson (#80)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed calculation for non-continuous hours. @jonasbkarlsson (#85)
• Fixed issue when keep_on is used and EV reconnects @jonasbkarlsson (#79)

v1.5.0-dev3

Bug Fixes

• Prevent rescheduling if the EV SOC entity is not changed. @jonasbkarlsson (#81)
  Fixes the issue in v1.5.0-dev1 that rescheduled charging in an unwanted way for users without live SOC sensors.
