FAQ

too many notifications in home assistant

The OCPP integration can send notifications about charger events, including when a charger reboots due to a bad network connection.

If you do not want notifications from a charger, turn off Home Assistant notifications when configuring that charger.

If you prefer to keep notifications enabled but automatically dismiss them (for example, to silence only nightly reboots), they can also be managed with automations in Home Assistant. (see https://github.com/lbbrhzn/ocpp/discussions/938)

Example:

trigger:
  - platform: persistent_notification
    update_type:
      - added
    notification_id: ""
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ trigger.notification.title | lower == \"ocpp integration\" }}"
action:
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 10
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: persistent_notification.dismiss
    data:
      notification_id: "{{ trigger.notification.notification_id }}"
mode: parallel
max: 10

unstable behavior when setting the charger maximum current

If your charger is acting strange when you’re changing the maximum current, or sending an ocpp.set_charge_rate action, it might help to clear the charging profiles from the charger.

Run the following action (from Developer Tools):

    - action: ocpp.clear_profile
      data:
        devid: charger

Where charger refers to your selected charger device identity.
