3.6.0 fight the ducks!
What's Changed
The scheduler has gotten a revival!
An old and forgotten feature that wasn't working properly has now been updated.
In addition I have added two shortcut sensors you may use for your quick overrides of charging. They are number.peaqev_scheduler_charge_amount and select.scheduler_next_departure. I suggest you add them to your dashboard to quickly be able to set your next departure and desired charge by then. Remember that Peaqev first and foremost will adhere to your currently registered peak, and that the scheduler will not work with PeaqevLite. Ie, you must have a powermeter that I can read from all the time for this to function.
The hours will update themselves as the schedule period runs along, based on how much other consumption you currently have and how much charge from the desired we have been able to push to your car.
When a schedule is active you will see it in the status of sensor.peaqev_charger_controller, you may also open that one to reveal the data of the schedule.
In the sensor.peaqev_hour_controller list of all future hours you will now see an eggwatch-icon to the right of the hours affected by a schedule.
This is being released now since we are experiencing more and more duck-curves in Scandinavia, meaning that the basic algorithm of picking the very cheapest periods may not always be suitable for those using their cars in the daytime etc. 🦆
With this option, I give you the best of both worlds; the option to charge at the very cheapest, and the ability to override at will.
The classic servicecall to set a scheduler is still present, you may use that instead if you wish.
I also wish to point out the possibility of becoming a Patreon here at Github or via BuyMeACoffee. 🦆
I do develop Peaqev Free of charge and I see the community growing, which is great!
Whatever you can spare (perhaps part of what I help you save) would be much appreciated to be able to continue this journey. 🚗
In future development I aim to deliver reoccuring schedules so that you can program peaqev to act differently depending on day of week or similar.
Report any bugs that occur as per usual. Thanks!
