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.
