Predbat needs reboot when car unplugged with Ohme integration

[murkle]

When the car is unplugged PredBat doesn't update its plan unless Home Assistant is restarted, see https://github.com/dan-r/HomeAssistant-Ohme/issues/91

Not sure if it's the Ohme integration or PredBat at fault - is there anything I can do to help diagnose this? 🙏

Have you tried the switch 'switch.predbat_octopus_intelligent_ignore_unplugged' setting this on should fix it?

Thanks, found that under "Expert mode". Tested that, seems to be the same. Here's what I get after unplugging the car (was unplugged about 8.30pm, charge slot was until 9.20pm)

Then after rebooting Home Assistant it looks OK

There's something wrong here there is no 'Car' common on your plan, are you sure the car is actually enabled?

[murkle]

The plan changes when I plug the car in - so something is working. What should it look like?

[springfall2008]

There should be a car column on the plan:

Thanks, solved that (num_cars :1 not 0 🤦‍♂️)

Still the same I'm afraid - car unplugged at 21:18 but the plan didn't update to account for that at 21:20 or 21:25

... and after rebooting Home Assistant it's OK

Thanks, solved that (num_cars :1 not 0 🤦‍♂️)

did you write that the wrong way round? num_cars needs to be set to 1 if you want Predbat to manage or be aware of car charging via IOG, and the car column is omitted if num_cars is zero

[murkle]

Yes it was 0 now I've changed it to 1

Resolving the ticket

[murkle]

@springfall2008 to be clear: the problem is still there after changing num_cars to 1

[springfall2008]

Did you set 'switch.predbat_octopus_intelligent_ignore_unplugged' to Enabled?

[murkle]

@springfall2008 Yes, here's what I currently have:

[springfall2008]

What is the car plugged in sensor set to? Can you show your 'config' page on the Predbat Web interface?

[murkle]

Do you mean car_charging_now? These are the sensors pointing to the Ohme plugin: ` car_charging_now:

• 'binary_sensor.ohme_car_charging' octopus_intelligent_slot: 'binary_sensor.ohme_slot_active' octopus_ready_time: 'time.ohme_target_time' octopus_charge_limit: 'number.ohme_target_percent' car_charging_energy: 'sensor.ohme_session_energy' `

I've also got this (but that should be ignored with Intelligent I think)

` car_charging_planned:

• 'False' `
