Charging state #9

Closed gurmukhp closed 7 months ago

gurmukhp commented 8 months ago

Is it possible to add an update to this plugin to know when the charger is charging Vs not charging ? Maybe something like check the charging rate?

Based on the entities already provided, might a derivative helper work (to identify a change in the consumption entity). After which, you can set up an automation to detect instances of the change in consumption, and then toggle (helper) on/off accordingly. It's a fairly indirect / aggircultural way of getting to the bottom of this, mind.

Hope this helps.

Nice workaround, thanks!
