Option to clear charging profiles #879

Closed ghulleman closed 11 months ago

ghulleman commented 11 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I was unable to charge my EV as the charger stated that the external station only allowed charging at 0A. I was unable to set the maximum current via the OCPP HA addon. this was stuck at 0A. When I set this to 8A or 16A, after a refresh the max was 0A again. I did look at the log (enabled debugging log), but could not find anything related to this. Since the priority was to charge my car, I resolved this using the alternative as described below.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like the option to send the OCPP 1.6 'Clear charging profiles' to clear the profiles in the charger.

Describe alternatives you've considered To solve the issue and allow the charge to charge, I used SteVe (see https://github.com/steve-community/steve) to link the charger to this backend, send the clear command and now the carger works again.

There is a service for this already, goto developer tools | services to use it.

Hi drc38. You are correct. I did not find this option as this was not documented (at least not that I could find) and not available to me.

For anyone finding this topic; there is a service "ocpp.clear_profile" but this service is only available if you chose “Force Smart Charging feature profile" during the setup.
