Read car_status in automation #50

I´m trying to react on the different states of car_status via automation. Currently I´m only able to show the state via a message. message: '{{ states(''sensor.goecharger_charger1_car_status'') }}' This will print out the english text instead of a numerical value. How do I get the numerical value and what data type do I have to set for the trigger?

Hello,

have you find a solution for your issue? I have the same problem. I want to start charging when my PV-SOC is full but i want to be safe and check if a car is connected. Thanks for help!
