Describe the Issue

Cannot start a second loading if Charging Status sensor changes to Charging Finished (after +/- 60 minutes) if the charge is stopped manually with the integration. But the target SOC is not reaches.

Result: I can not restart loading the battery with the intergration. The only way to resolve this issue is unplug the car cable, and reconnect it. This works with 1 manualy loading, but for the second time it's not working anymore
The original MG iSmart app works properly when I switch manually.

Sensor status:
MG ZS EV State of Charge - 74,9%
Target SOC - 90%
MG ZS EV Charging Status - Charging Stopped, and after 60 minuts: Charging Finished

Hi @jeroen84s

Thanks for pointing that out. I believe that the charging code that returns the "Charging Finished" is more an "idle" than a finished.

After new years eve I will look into it. It shall be an easy fix. The charging control checks on that as well, so it will be a matter of looking it around and force a start on the charging control. I will have a look.

Cheers

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I'll wait. Happy holidays. Regards

Hi @jeroen84s

Already got this sorted out and addressed for the next update. The only thing is that I will also try to fix the AC issues, so it may take a bit more time to get it out, but this is sorted.

"Charging Finished" is now changed to "Idle". Meaning that the charging either finalized or is paused for whatever reason.

Cheers

Ok thank you. Idle is a better idea. But the most important for me is restarting the ac (after an hour). I charge as much as possible with solar energy. When it is evening it switches off and the next morning it switches back on, this is not possible now...
