Do you get the charging starts and car connected triggers in your flows?

64

Page not found when trying to find the app (link in one of the earlier posts).

Is it due to pending approval from Athom after update of app?

65

Hi, how can I start testing the app? The link does not work.

66
  • Yes, I have a “if car connects” and “if car disconnects” flow in use. These are both not working right now.
  • The “When car starts” charging and “When car stopps” charging works as expected.

Here is a log after I connected my car, but without starting to charge:

First of all - thank you for developping to Zaptec. Don’t know if this is of any help.
Created a flow that collects alle variables when a flow is activated. See below.

(Hope the image shows)

Okay, it looks like the CarDetected state is not triggering at all. I will check into it later tonight. I still don’t get why the SessionIdentifier state (721) is failing to parse. It doesn’t really do anything. My current guess is that homey does some internal parsing of states which I’ve managed to bork with previous releases. Would it be possible for any of you to try and remove and re-add your charger and see if the messages disappears? That would at least (dis)prove the thesis.

69

I’ve pushed another release which uses the charging operation mode to trigger car disconnected / connected. Let’s see if we get the behaviour we expect.

As for those asking for the link to the app, since I’m pushing fairly small and continuous changes I don’t want to submit for certification each time. It’s better that we get the base functionality in place and then I will formally publish it all the way and continue iterating!

@pwad

I tried it. Result: Start / Stop Flow are no longer working. Car connected / Car Disconnected are still not working.

Here’s the log:

Let’s see if it’s remedied now.

72

I only have “Updated charger state” in the logs for my 3 chargers now.
(They have not been used since the last app update)

73

Here is my flow data. It now detects that car is connected and disconnected.

I have Eco mode activated so it didn’t (correctly) start charging when the car was connected.
It started charging around 1 PM which is also the cheapest hour before midnight - (controlled by Eco Mode).

75

Discard my coment about starting from Eco mode. My wife started the charging from the zaptec app.

Charging stopped 3:32 PM and it shows in the flow data.

77

@pwad : Start / Stop / Disconnect / Connect Flows successfully tested! They work as expected. Good job!

There is a issue with the boolean “Charging”. It stayed on “yes” after the charging ended. Charge mode has been set correct. The value changed to “no” after I disconnected my car.
Charge Boolean

@pwad, the link you posted earlier does not work “404 failed”. Is there a newer version?

79

As @pwad mentioned here, he has chosen to not release it before it is working as it should.

@rh_rh The “Charging” token should’ve been fixed now. This affects the charging button in the device in the UI, i.e. when you want to manually start a charge using the Homey app. Could you try to start a charge manually via homey, just to see the experience?

Edit: I’ve also pushed a fix for the token in the latest version :slight_smile:

It seems like the “then” cards doesnt work.
I had problems with the charging button aswell. It worked after pressing the button a couple of times
