v1.6.3

What's New in v1.6.3

Changed

• Maximum charging current cap raised from 32A to 63A - The artificial cap of 32A in the config flow validation has been raised to 63A (Type 2 connector practical maximum for single-phase). The default remains 32A, but users with hardware/installations that support higher currents (single-phase up to ~14kW, 3-phase up to ~43kW) can now configure values above 32A via Options. The wallbox will reject via OCPP SetChargingProfile if the value exceeds its hardware capability.

Fixed

• Charging Current Limit slider not respecting Options changes - The slider's maximum value and current value were read only from entry.data, ignoring entry.options. After updating the maximum current in Settings → Configure, the slider now correctly reflects the new ceiling on reload.

Full Changelog: v1.6.2...v1.6.3

v1.6.2

What's New in v1.6.2

Added

• RFID token and max current in Options flow - Users can now verify and edit the RFID token and maximum current after initial setup via Settings → Devices & Services → Configure, without needing to remove and re-add the integration (#10)
• Transaction state recovery on connect - After HA restart, the integration now triggers a TransactionEvent from the wallbox to recover the active transaction ID and ID token, fixing Start/Stop buttons failing until a new charging event arrived
• RFID token logging at startup - Configured RFID token is now logged (masked) at server startup for easier debugging

Removed

• Energy Session sensor - Removed redundant sensor that always matched Energy Total

Full Changelog: v1.6.0...v1.6.1

v1.6.0

What's New in v1.6.0

Added

• Active meter polling during charging - Integration now proactively requests fresh meter values from the wallbox during active charging sessions via OCPP TriggerMessage, instead of relying solely on push-based TransactionEvent messages. This fixes sensors not updating on wallboxes that don't include meter_value in TransactionEvent (#7)
• Configurable polling interval - New "Meter Polling Interval" option (5–60 seconds, default 10s) available during setup and in integration options for post-setup adjustment
• Options flow - Users can now change the polling interval after initial setup via the integration's "Configure" button

Fixed

• Sensors not updating during active charging - Some wallboxes send TransactionEvent without meter data, causing power, energy, current, and voltage sensors to remain stale until integration restart
• Stop/Pause command failing on stale data - The pause command would skip sending SetChargingProfile(0A) when power showed 0W due to stale data. Now refreshes meter values before checking, and also verifies charging state
