Unable to STOP charge!?

Hi,

Do I read the log correctly that the script is trying to send a “STOP CHARGE” to the car (last 5 lines)?

09:30:33 Policy     8 Evaluating Policy match (tm_hour), condition (gte), value (6)
09:30:33 Policy     8 Evaluating Policy match (tm_hour), condition (lt), value (20)

It doesn’t seem to work as the car is charging and not stopping at all!? Is this a bug on my CAR or something? Because my Powerwall is below 90% and should use the solar energy only to charge it till it’s 90% and then deliver energy for the car.

Reasonable suggestion. Anything lower than the current charge should suffice, so another option would just be to always set it to 50%. Updated, if you do a git pull.

@MikeBishop I noticed in the threads above one trick people used was to set the maximum charging SoC to the current SoC where stop charging didn’t work. Might be something for us to think about, we could send a stop charging message first and perhaps after a grace time set the SoC limit to current SoC?

That assumes we know which car is connected. But we could use the minimum charge at home more generally, or simply set it to the minimum. Regardless, the car would declare itself done. I’d have to go through the logic to make sure the fallback doesn’t get overwritten on the next cycle or stored as the new outside value, though.
