What happened?

I had this before, but didn't have to charge my car for a couple of days, so don't know which beta version this introduced it.
See screen and diagnostics. Tried al modes but no mode did start the charging process.

Looked into this against the new charger work — #536 is a different root cause from the KEBA 6 A / chatter class, and the reconciler work landing in 1.7.3-beta.50 does not fix it.

From your diagnostics:

• charging_strategy: "always_max mode — charge at hardware maximum" while at the same time charging_state: "solar_pause_low_battery" and solar_charging_status: "pause_low_battery".

So SEM is deciding to pause the EV for battery priority even in always_max mode — that's a decision-layer gating bug (decide() / battery-priority), not an actuation problem. There's also a suspicious "ev_charger_service": "0" in the config for the left Wallbox worth checking.

I'm tracking this separately and will dig into why always_max is being gated by solar_pause_low_battery. Quick questions to speed it up:

1. When it "doesn't start", what does sensor.sem_charging_state show for each charger (charger_<id>_charging_state)?
2. Is the left Wallbox's ev_charger_service really 0, or was that a UI artifact? It should be a service or blank for number-entity control (number.wallbox_links_max_charging_current + switch.wallbox_links_charging_enable).
3. Does the car ever start if you set battery mode so it's not in the low-battery/priority band?

Hi @traktore-org

I will do so more testing in the morning.

[traktore-org]

Hi @RienduPre — found it, fix is on the way in the next beta (1.7.3-beta.51).

Quick summary: the ev_charger_service: "0" in your config was a red herring — that's been harmless since beta.43 (SEM normalises it to "use the number entity"). The real cause: your Wallbox is controlled by a current number + a separate enable switch (switch.wallbox_links_charging_enable), and SEM was turning that switch on only once at session start, then never re-checking it. If the switch went off (Wallbox auto-pause / lock / eco-smart / an external toggle), SEM kept writing the current to an open contactor → exactly your Connected, Always-max, commanded 16 A, 0 W screenshot, in any mode.

beta.51 makes SEM reconcile the actual enable-switch state every cycle and re-assert it whenever it wants to charge (and surface a locked/eco-smart switch instead of failing silently).

When beta.51 lands, could you:

1. Update, make sure the Links charger is unlocked and not in eco-smart mode, then plug in and try Always (max).
2. If it still shows 0 W, grab a fresh diagnostic + the state of switch.wallbox_links_charging_enable and post here.

Thanks for the detailed report — the screenshot + diagnostics made this one findable.

Hi @traktore-org

At least it seems that there is some activity, but the charger starts and then stops shortly after that and this keeps on repeating
See logging below.
Same for Solar only as Allways...

[traktore-org]

Thanks @RienduPre — that's actually progress: beta.51's enable-switch fix got it starting now. The "starts then stops, repeating" (and that it happens in Always (max) too) tells me SEM and the Wallbox are likely fighting over the enable switch — SEM turns it on, the Wallbox auto-pauses, SEM turns it on again, repeat. I have a fix in mind (add a backoff so SEM stops re-asserting and surfaces "paused" instead of toggling), but I want to confirm it's SEM doing the toggling before I build it.

Could you grab a short SEM debug log of it happening?

1. Developer Tools → Actions (Services), run:

   action: logger.set_level
   data:
     custom_components.solar_energy_management: debug

   (no restart needed)
2. Plug in the Links charger, set Always (max), and let it do the start/stop thing for ~1–2 minutes.
3. Settings → System → Logs (or /config/home-assistant.log), and copy the lines containing reconcile( and decide ev for that charger over that window.

The lines I'm after look like reconcile(ev_charger): ENABLE … / … DISABLE … / decide ev_charger mode=always_max → intent=… . That'll show whether SEM is re-enabling each cycle (my hypothesis) or something else.

One quick question while you capture: is the Links Wallbox in eco-smart mode, or does it have its own scheduling/solar setting active? That can make it auto-pause and fight an external enable.

[traktore-org]

One more concrete lead while you grab that log, @RienduPre — your charger is a Wallbox Pulsar, and evcc documents this exact class for it: the Pulsar's "Autostart" (and eco-smart / solar) mode makes the box start and stop charging on its own, which fights any external controller (evcc or SEM) trying to enable/disable it. That matches your "starts then stops, repeating" perfectly — SEM enables the contactor, the Wallbox auto-pauses itself, SEM re-enables, and round it goes (the Control Pilot flips 177↔178).

evcc's own guidance for the Pulsar is to not let the charger make autonomous decisions — they take authoritative control and disable autostart.

So two things would help:

1. In the Wallbox app: turn OFF "Autostart" (and any eco-smart / solar / scheduled-charging mode) for the Links charger, so SEM is the only thing deciding. Autostart can be buried — it's sometimes under the charger's charging settings or only in the installer/portal view.
2. On the SEM side I'm adding a backoff: SEM will re-assert the switch a few times, and if the charger keeps flipping back on its own, it'll stop fighting and raise a notice ("charger is auto-pausing — disable Autostart") instead of toggling forever.

The debug log (reconcile( / decide ev lines) will confirm SEM is the one re-enabling each time. Thanks for bearing with the iterations 🙏

Hi @traktore-org

In fact it's a Wallbox Pulsar Plus and I haven't changed anything on the Wallbox for a long time and it was working with SEM, so if you could first have a look at the log

home-assistant_2026-06-22T18-46-53.352Z.log

[traktore-org]

Thanks @RienduPre — that log is exactly what I needed, and you're right to push back on the "it used to work" point.

What the log shows (conclusive): SEM is re-asserting the enable switch every 10 s for both chargers —

reconcile(ev_charger): ENABLE — enable switch was off, re-asserting — always_max …
reconcile(ev_charger_1): ENABLE — enable switch was off, re-asserting — solar_plus_cheap …

SEM turns switch.wallbox_links_charging_enable on, and HA reports it off again on the very next cycle — the switch never holds. There's no error on the turn_on, so the command goes out; the Wallbox just doesn't stay enabled. beta.51 has no backoff, so SEM re-tries forever → the start/stop you see.

Fix #1 (SEM side, ready): I've built + tested a backoff — SEM re-asserts a few times, then stops fighting and raises a clear notice instead of toggling endlessly. That'll land in the next beta and kill the oscillation.

But the real question is why the switch won't hold — that's not something SEM can see. Two quick checks would pin it:

1. When SEM is doing the ENABLE loop, is the car actually drawing power at the Wallbox (your sensor.wallbox_links_charging_power) — a few kW, or 0 W?
2. Set the Links charger to off in SEM (so SEM stops touching it), then in Developer Tools → States/Actions manually turn switch.wallbox_links_charging_enable on. Does the car start charging and the switch stay on — or does it flip straight back to off on its own?

If #2 flips back off by itself, that switch (your MQTT-bridge enable) isn't holding the contactor and we need the right control entity; if it stays on and the car charges, then SEM's backoff + a small timing fix is all that's needed.

(Side note: your log also has unrelated noise — recorder "database is locked" and a Wallbox MQTT template error on chargers[0].current_session — not SEM, but the DB-locked one is worth a look as it can slow everything down.)
