EV Smart Charging EV connected keeps turning on binary sensor #220

Version of the custom_component

Version 1.9.0

Configuration

Tesla Custom Integration and EV Smart Charging 1.9.0

Describe the bug

I have been trying to setup an automation to Turn on/off the EV Smart Charging EV connected switch, when the binary_sensor.tesla_charger changes to state 'No power'.

Here is where it gets wierd. Once the automation runs or I manually set EV Smart Charging EV connected to 'off', a few seconds later the binary_sensor.tesla_charger changes to 'Power connected', even though no cable is connected to the car.

That sounds really wierd. How could anything you do in Home Assistant affect binary_sensor.tesla_charger?

How does your automation look like? Can you paste the yaml code?

@jonasbkarlsson I am able to reproduce it by just turning off the EV Smart Charging EV connected. I have re-installed the EV Smart Charging integration and completed the setup with new intities.

If I switch off 'switch.test_ev_smart_charging_ev_connected' I wait a few seconds and the entity 'binary_sensor.tesla_charger' turns on (Power Connected).

I think I have found the issue and it looks like it might be something in the Tesla Custom Integration. If the car is not connected to power and I quickly turn 'switch.tesla_charger' on and off, this will then change 'binary_sensor.tesla_charger' to on (Power Connected).

My guess is that when 'switch.test_ev_smart_charging_ev_connected' is switched off, it triggers something with 'switch.tesla_charger', which then changes 'binary_sensor.tesla_charger' to on (Power Connected).
