v1.9.0

More than 1000 downloads have been done for v1.8.0! Great to see so many using this integration. A special thank to those of you that has provided coffee!!!

New Features

• Added low SOC charging. @jonasbkarlsson (#200)
• Added low price charging. @jonasbkarlsson (#199)

Changes

• A new configuration item has been added to let the user state that there is a EV integration (and not a charger intergatation) that is used to control start/stop of charging. For those of you that uses an EV integration to control charging, please update your configuration. @jonasbkarlsson (#166)
• Allow negative price limit. @janneho (#182)
  This means that a zero price limit is allowed, and therefore setting the price limit to zero does not turn off the price limitation anymore. To turn off price limitation, please turn off the switch switch.ev_smart_charging_apply_price_limit.
• Charging schedule gets updated hourly when EV is physically not connected. @quartien (#181)
• Update of EV connected logic. For the case where a EV integration is used to control charging, a charging command (either stop or start depending on the charinging schedule) is sent directly after the car has been connected to the charger. Addresses some of the issues in #161. @jonasbkarlsson (#166)
• Documentation: Add curve: stepline to get straight lines in chart. @moorgrove (#174)

• Don't turn off charger when smart charging is inactive. Fixes issue #162 @jonasbkarlsson (#164)
