Load will not start if car=4 #109

Hi, I'm using Home Assistant and NodeRed to manage the load of the go-eCharger. During the day I can get enough power from my solar panels and start the load, then it could stop after a while (cloudy weather for example)). Then in the afternoon, again enough power from my solar panels, that could load again my car. What appends from the first stop (alw=0), it change the value of car=2: vehicle loads, to car=4: Charge finished, vehicle still connected. It looks like that this state (car=4) will not permit any new load (even if I force alw=1). The only way to charged it again, is to unplug the cable, and plug it again.

Within this issue, i'm asking if we are able to reactivate any new load ? How can I do it ? If not, can you make any update of the software to able this feature please ?

Thanks in advance.

(Using API v1, and fwv: "041.0")

Hi,

I have the same issue with a Fiat 500e. We rented a Fiat 500e with an older SW version and I was able to stop charging with alw=0 and to continue charging with alw=1. We replaced the first 500e with another Fiat 500e which had the latest SW version and with this car I had exactly the same problem as described above: with the first change from alw=0 to alw=1 the charging started but once it was stopped with alw=0 it could not be reactivated with alw=1 again.

So, I assume this is probably a car issue!?

Do you have "load management" activated ? Then maybe it's this problem: https://github.com/goecharger/go-eCharger-API-v1/issues/95#issuecomment-1018522724

It's a firmware problem (v0.41) for HW V2, which was never solved by go-echarger :(

But be warned ! Do not update HW V2 to firmware v0.42, if you do not want to have new problems !!! https://github.com/goecharger/go-eCharger-API-v1/issues/114
