Charge Amps Aura missing functionality

[Miggle007]

I am gladly using this integration and I am able to do the following:

• Read the current power usage per connector (the Aura has two connectors)
• View the actual status per connector (available, charging, ..)
• Switch the connector on or off
• Dim the light
• Read the total consumed energy

However, I am mainly missing the thing that I want to automate on: Set the current per connector. When taking a look at the REST API documentation this is available. When digging in to this custom component it seems to be built in to this integration.

Does anyone recognize this? Does this also has to do with the CAPI > OCPP?

Maybe I'm missunderstanding you, but have you checked the documentation here? https://github.com/kirei/hass-chargeamps?tab=readme-ov-file#services

set_max_current -- set max current for connector

I have a Halo with OCPP and I can set the max current with this Action in HA

You can test it under developer tools

Hi, did you build yourself the "Set Max Current"?, I've been trying to do it, but I don't have enough skills for it (I even made a post request here to see if we can get that by default with no luck). Another thing that would be useful would be to have a remote start and remote stop buttons, that way you can always turn it on but not start the charging until you really want it to.

Yes i have done an automation for the "Set Max Current" that uses input from a input select helper.

alias: Halo Set Max Current description: Set Max current on Charge Amps Halo mode: single triggers:

• entity_id:
  • input_select.set_current trigger: state conditions: [] actions:
• data: chargepoint: "redacted" connector: 1 max_current: |- {% if is_state("input_select.set_current", "6") %} 6 {% elif is_state("input_select.set_current", "8") %} 8 {% elif is_state("input_select.set_current", "10") %} 10 {% elif is_state("input_select.set_current", "12") %} 12 {% elif is_state("input_select.set_current", "14") %} 14 {% elif is_state("input_select.set_current", "16") %} 16 {% else %} Unknown {% endif %} action: chargeamps.set_max_current

mind sharing the entire yaml for that automatition?

this is what I have and its supposed to work but somehow it doesn't do the change

  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - input_select.set_current

        {% elif is_state("input_select.set_current", "8") %}
        8
        {% elif is_state("input_select.set_current", "10") %}

I shared the complete .yaml of the automation.

Did you create the input_select.set_current helper?

yep I did and the selector works wait.. I think it's working, somehow it takes like 1min or so to update but it works thank you very much for the help :)

Hi @ReconOperator, Many many thanks for this! I've been looking everywhere except in developer tools. I've tested it just now and indeed this works perfectly. I'll create some sort of input selector the way you did in order to use it in manually changing and and mostly in automizing (peak shaving) this. Great and thanks again. My issue has been resolved.
