Ability to start and stop EV Charging from home assistant automation

[wsaeed]

It will be nice to start and stop ev charging from a smart switch. Currently I have to powered off the AC charger to unlock the charger cable from the car.

Add a service in the integration to start and stop the charging.

Not sure what you mean.
I don't have a Sigenergy charger so I don't know the experience.

A switch entity for the ac charger exists, but siwtching it does not change the state of the ac charger it only temporary changes the state in home assistent then reverts back to the state it gets for the ac charger itself.

This is exactly what I want to achieve.

Currently if I want to unhook the car while it is charging I have to come into the Sigen app and hit STOP.

In Home Assistant I get a DC Charging Control but this seems to be flicking on and off with PV surplus rather than allowing me to Stop the charge session.
