car plugged in entity missing? about homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt HOT 20 CLOSED

Afaik this is the car entity in the v2 API. If the cable is disconnected/unplugged from the car it will be in "Idle". If plugged in it will be in any of the other states depending on if the car is charging etc.

You can easily do that with what is available from this integration today. There is no need, imo, to add more sensors. That will only make you dependent on the integration to implement things. When instead you have the power of home assistant to do whatever you want :)

The condition you need to check in an automation, triggered by something else, to see if the car is unplugged is this:

- condition: state
  entity_id: sensor.go_echarger_123456_car
  state: "Idle"

Or, if you want to trigger an automation when the car becomes unplugged you can use this as trigger:

- platform: state
  entity_id: sensor.go_echarger_123456_car
  to: "Idle"

I will have a look.

It's called "cable unlock mode" (ust) here.

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

cable unlock mode

I dont think so with cable unlock mode I can select how to unlock

_cable_lock_mode** gave me the info if any car is plugged into the wallbox. I would like to have this info

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

Are you sure about the name of the other entity? Do you mean car state may be?

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

A may be you are looking for cable lock status (cus). This entity is disabled per default an can be found and enabled at the hidden section of the device page.

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

No this entity is not there even down there with the hidden ones

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

I've released a new version. The Cable unlock status sensor should be available now if you update to version 0.16.0.

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

sorry this is still not the right entity. I do not want to know if the cable is locked but if a cable is plugged in.

Is the car state what you are looking for?

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

I could introduce a binary_sensor which maps the values to a boolean and call the sensor car_detected if this is helpful.

maybe you guys could just steal it from the other integration :D I wanted to make such automation to heat up the house more if no cars are plugged in in the garages and their batteries is <90%
If it is not possible I think I must use 2 integrations

yeah I guess that works, I just liked the yellow plug symbol so I could tell that my wife plugged in her car.

I think that would be very beneficial. Lots of automations, blueprints etc uses a "boolean state" to check if the EV is connected or not.

I personally currently use this template sensor:

- platform: template
  sensors:
    go_e_ev_connected:
      friendly_name: "Go-E EV Connected"
      unique_id: "go_e_ev_connected"
      value_template: >
        {%- if states("sensor.go_echarger_222819_car") | default('Idle') == "Idle" %}
          False
        {%- else %}
          True
        {% endif %}

I've introduced a new binary sensor called car connected. It will speed things up so there is no need for a template sensor.

@syssi is it also possible to get the car SoC through Go-E ? So you do not need to have a EV integration also for your Audi, Skoda, Tesla or whatever.

from homeassistant-goecharger-mqtt.

The short answer is "no". The go-eCharger APIv2 doesn't provide this information probably because the information isn't available via a Type 2 plug. This is the API description of the manufacturer: https://github.com/goecharger/go-eCharger-API-v2/blob/main/apikeys-en.md

I see. But available from DC? I see that some charging stations show the SoC on screens, so it must be available in some cases.
