v1.6.0-dev1

New Features

• Added support of Energi Data Service. @jonasbkarlsson (#108)
  In addition to Nordpool, now also the Energi Data Service integration can be used to get the electricity prices.
• Opportunistic charging. @jonasbkarlsson (#106)
  If the electricity price of the last hour tomorrow is very low, that often means that the prices next night will be low. If charging fully every night is not important, activate this feature to save on the electricity cost.

Changes

• Removed configuration items. @jonasbkarlsson (#107)
  In v1.5.0, configuration entities were added to enable changing some of the configuration parameteres by services calls or from the dashboard. The previous way to change these parameters using Settings -> Devices & Services -> Integrations -> EV Smart Charging -> Configure were still possible. However, in this release, that way of changing these parameters are removed. Note that the configuration entities can be changed here Settings -> Devices & Services -> Integrations -> EV Smart Charging -> 1 device -> Configuration.

v1.5.2

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue with keep charger on. @jonasbkarlsson (#100)

v1.5.1

Bug Fixes

• Removed Python 3.10 code. @jonasbkarlsson (#96)
  NOTE: This problem only affected those who are using Python 3.9.

Maintenance

• Test with different Python versions. @jonasbkarlsson (#97)

v1.5.0

Changes

• Changed conditions for rescheduling. @jonasbkarlsson (#78)
  With this change, there will be a rescheduling at the end of each charging period. If charging for some reasons have been done less than expected, additional charging will be scheduled to reach the target SOC. For non-continuous charging, the following charging periods might be shortened, if the charging for some reason have been done more than expected. NOTE: For those with manually controlled EV SOC entities, please read the documentation carefully in order to make this work properly! In short, set the EV SOC entity to 100 after charging, e.g., as part of an automation that sets switch.ev_smart_charging_ev_connected.

New Features

• Added charge start time configuration parameter. @jonasbkarlsson (#90)
• Service calls to dynamically control all configuation parameters that affect charging. @jonasbkarlsson (#80)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed calculation for non-continuous hours. @jonasbkarlsson (#85)
• Fixed issue when keep_on is used and EV reconnects @jonasbkarlsson (#79)

v1.5.0-dev3

Bug Fixes

• Prevent rescheduling if the EV SOC entity is not changed. @jonasbkarlsson (#81)
  Fixes the issue in v1.5.0-dev1 that rescheduled charging in an unwanted way for users without live SOC sensors.

v1.5.0-dev2

Changes

• Dynamic configuration parameters. @jonasbkarlsson (#80)
  The four configuration parameters that controls the charging are now also entities. They can be changed in the UI or by service calls. Charging speed, Electricity price limit and Minimum EV SOC are Number entites that can be set with service call number.set_value. Charge completion time is a Select entity that can be set with service call select.select_option. Valid options are "None", "00:00", "01:00",..., "23:00".

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue when keep_on is used and EV reconnects @jonasbkarlsson (#79)

v1.5.0-dev1

Changes

• Added None as possible charge completion time. @jonasbkarlsson (#78)

Bug Fixes

• Changed conditions for rescheduling. @jonasbkarlsson (#78)
  Edit: WARNING: This change of rescheduling does probably not work well for those without live SOC information from the EV. This will be fixed before making a real release.
  Edit2: This should now have been fixed in v1.5.0-dev3

v1.4.0

New Features

• Added switch switch.ev_smart_charging_keep_charger_on to keep charger on after charging. @jonasbkarlsson (#70)
  Intended to enable pre-heating/cooling before departure using power from the charger instead of the battery.
  Can not be used together with the Electricity price limit feature.

Changes

• switch.ev_smart_charging_keep_charger_on docs @tubalainen (#72)

v1.4.0.dev1

New Features

• Added switch to keep charger on after charging. @jonasbkarlsson (#70)
  Intended to be used to do pre-heating before departure using power from the charger.
  Can not be used together with the Electricity price limit function.

v1.3.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix to handle a bug in the Nordpool integration. @jonasbkarlsson (#66)
  Related to #56.
