Charging Amps reports as zero after [Charge State Poll]

[delboy711]

I have been a happy user of esphome-tesla-ble since the project began. (Thanks yoziru ), but a new car required me to recompile it with the latest version 2026.1.3.1 with Esphome 2025.12.6.

I now find that whenever I set Charging Amps with the slider a few minutes later the slider reverts back to zero.
The log shows my initial setting, but does not show it changing back to zero which happens immediately after the next [Charge State Poll] .

I notice that when I set Charging Amps the Tesla App will correctly show the change, and will continue to show the correct setting even after the slider in Home Assistant reverts to zero. However setting Charging Amps in the App is not reflected in Home Assistant.

Well I have a workaround.
In components/tesla_ble_vehicle/vehicle_state_manager.cpp simply disabling the reporting of charging_amps restores the previous functionality.

    // Update charging amps
    if (charge_state.which_optional_charger_actual_current && charging_amps_number_) {
        float amps = static_cast<float>(charge_state.optional_charger_actual_current.charger_actual_current);
        //update_charging_amps(amps);
        //Disable charging amps sensor DJ
    }

I assume the intention of this function is to report the actual setting of charging_amps which may have been altered by the Tesla App or some other software.
