When does charging start? #178

Closed Olgmo closed 11 months ago

Olgmo commented 1 year ago

Version 1.8.0

Configuration

Easee charger and Skoda EV. Smart Charging and Price Limit is Activated. Config is working okay, it start and stops when is requested. Set price limit to 0.8. Target SOC set to 90%

Describe the bug

The charging is starting too late.. Even at Zero cost, it start to late to finish before price rises.

First picture show that price is 0.0 and still "Waiting for chargeing to begin" (at 12:55) Picture before start: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hs8W2WAa4erRbZXk7

Then It started automatic at 13:00

4 hours later it is still charging and price is now 0,77 Still charging: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kq7CWKqfMiEBp3QS9

Why does it not start charging when price drops below 0.8 in the start (at 12:00) ?

next day, another example: Target is set to 100%, Still waiting for charging to start. Why does the logic kick in? https://photos.app.goo.gl/Fcd58NFB8HeZZA9u5

Sorry for late reply. Do you still have issues?

Sometimes it can be difficult read the ApexCharts graph. Especially if you don't use curve: stepline to make the curves stepwise. Rounding of the shown price can also be missleading. It is probably better to look at the charging schedule details in the integration's attributes to check if charging is started correctly or not.

If charging is not completed during the scheduled charging, please reduce the value of number.ev_smart_charging_charging_speed.

Yes, it's still an issue for me. It is not related to Apexcharts as it did not start charging on low price. I stopped using this and made my own since it did not work. Maybe I will try again if there is a new release..

Ok, thanks for quickl reply. After a period of low activity, I'm now planning to spend some time to fix some of the known issues.

I will close this issue now, but if you try a later release and still have this issue, please re-open the issue (or create a new one).
