Chargings status entity is not changing from idle to charging or vice versa #20

Closed Marc1200 closed 10 months ago

The green charging status entity stays on Idle, it don't change to Charging. It looks like the boolean msg.payload does not change. $boolean(msg.payload) = true ? "Charging " & $now('[H#1]:[m01]','+0100') : "Idle " & $now('[H#1]:[m01]','+0100')

That code is wrong. Try:

$boolean($.payload) = true ? "Charging " & $now('[H#1]:[m01]','+0100') : "Idle " & $now('[H#1]:[m01]','+0100')

Still not working it stays both in idle mode when charging It looks like the boolean is not changing in the subflow.

the standard green charging status node is also not changing to charging

below the settings of the home assistant sensor entity image

I don't know why this doesn't work for you.

internally, the charging ouput is true if the status is "Charging", otherwise it is false. It's no more complicated than that.

You could use the output of 'poll' in your flow directly with your own nodes to get round this.
