Not working due to translated entities? #64

Open bartn opened 5 months ago

bartn commented 5 months ago

My Home Assistant shows the entity ID's from my Easee Charger all in dutch. Not sure wether this comes from the integration, the Easee portal or my Home Assistant instance. Now the issue occurs that this charger-card is not able to find the entities nor displaying the correct icons. What steps can I take to fix this, either in my install or in the code of the charger-card?

Hi,

I'm not quite sure either, but I believe translation of entities and entity names is a quite new concept in HA, and the Easee integration has probably adapted to that.

Anyway, the card is based on using the main sensor and then by default guessing the entity names (i.e. the english entity names for now). I may consider to change this since it seems HA is now translating everything, but it won't happen very soon. In the meantime it should work just by editing the card config in YAML-code and replace all the entity names with your names. The UI setup basically just does this for you since it used to know the names.
