action: easee.set_charger_dynamic_limit - no longer works

[Mkay505]

The problem

The action command: easee.set_charger_dynamic_limit is not working anymore. This command was previously ideal for controlling photovoltaic surpluses. As of today, only the maximum for 1 or 3 phases is possible for me. If I want to limit the current to 10 amps, for example, this is no longer possible.

Version of Easee integration having the issue?

0.9.59

Version of Home Assistant Core having the issue?

2024.9.1

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Could perhaps be same as this? https://github.com/nordicopen/easee_hass/issues/422 If not, please try to find something in the logs.

[bverlinden]

Might be related to a general issue with the easee api? See https://status.easee.com/incidents/z00bt9vnjykh

I also noticed the same thing now.

Easee Cloud API is a mess. Please vote here for a local API: https://feedback.easee.com/b/features/local-apis/ Easee had this on the roadmap for at least 3 years now but still offers this unreliable cloud API

[aifiks]

I see that Easee confirms issues with their Cloud API: https://status.easee.com/

This is a a new issue and started a few days ago. Here are some logs from me. Most of it are selections from a much large log file, but these lines seems to go on repeat more or less.

This messes with my charging as well, since it's not able to set Dynamic Amp per charger.

[enoch85]

Btw, I don't know if Easee changed something in their API recently? Loggning in to easee.cloud it looks totally different from before.

[Mkay505]

You only can set the dynamic value (temporary) in the easee app manually. First I thought the command was generally deleted or my wallboxes have a defect.

[enoch85]

@Mkay505 It worked until like 2 days ago. Same app, same version of HAOS. So you mean it's gone from the API?

[guydl012]

Same issue here. Last succesful usage 2 days ago.

[enoch85]

Might be related to a general issue with the easee api? See https://status.easee.com/incidents/z00bt9vnjykh

Aah, saw this now. That might be it!

[MarkP12345]

Same problem here, cant adjust the amperage any more in HA using this integration since a day.....(automation to only use the pv power for charging).

[icefluffy]

Same Problem here, I'm consuming from grid now...

[bverlinden]

I'm wondering when it will be fixed, my charger is stuck on 16A. I can't change the max limit of the loader using the Easee app since my CPO (e-flux) blocks this. So I'm dependant of the API which is now down for > 24hrs.

[tmjo]

Still not working. Cost me 100 NOK since I exceeded my grid limit this month because of this. Hail mary for local API, but not holding my horses as it has been promised since forever. It seems however like the dynamic circuit limit is working, so I'm temporarily rewriting my automations to send this command instead.

[enoch85]

" We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue. Posted 1 day ago. Sep 13, 2024 - 16:11 CEST "

It's weekend, I think they (Easee) don't care about third-party API...

Thanks for the heads up that the dynamic circuit limit is still working! Since I only have one Easee charger, the dynamic circuit limit seems to function similarly to the dynamic charger limit in my case.

[olalid]

Please use the circuit dynamic limit instead if you can. If you only have one charger it is the better option anyway. I assume Easee are aware of the problem, but I have also reported it to them and asked them if we can change something on our end to make it work again. So, until we know more we will keep this issue open as information to others.

[aifiks]

Please use the circuit dynamic limit instead if you can. If you only have one charger it is the better option anyway.

Thanks. Out of curiosity, why is this approach better than using the dynamic charging limit?

[olalid]

The main reason I think it is better because it does not reset when a charging session starts.

[aifiks]

Aha! This resetting has bugged me forever. I’ll definitely use the circuit dynamic limit from now on. Thanks for clarifying! 👍🏻

[kimmilde]

I cant find charger_dynamic_limit longer in easee API documentation. Only circuit dynamic limit. Have they removed it without telling? Switched to circuit dynamic and its all working again! I need some stabil local api that doesnt change!

[oivindklausen]

If I remember correctly, changing Circuit Dynamic Current too often is not recommended since it is stored in non volatile memory? So, if you use it for load balancing current may change quite often.

In addition Enable/Disable Charger is not working any longer, you’ll need to set curren t =0 to disable charging

[olalid]

Anything called "dynamic" is ok to change more often. That being said, you should not call the services too often since you will hit rate-limits if you do that. Although, calling the service with the same values as already set will be filtered out and not actually call the API. It is the other limits, like charger max limit etc that is not recommended to uses for this kind of purpose.

[MarkP12345]

Enable/Disable Charger is working again

[enoch85]

Easee API now works again, This can be closed IMHO.

[enoch85]

@Mkay505 You can close it. 😉
