HA-EVCC shows status "Unknown" if no car is connected

[Piranha1511]

Not sure if this is intended or a bug. But if there is no car connected, EVCC shows me the right status "No car" but the integration in HA shows the status "Unknown" instead of "no car"

... that's by purpose / aka 'Unknown' is the equivalent of 'no car'...

[Piranha1511]

Ok, interesting. Thought it is a bug, given there is also the status "none"

[marq24]

Oh interesting - looks like you know my code better then me... Could you check what's the API status endpoint of evcc is returning?

[marq24]

so OK - after returning back @ home it looks like that you are right - during the initial implementation the api/state endpoint returned for the attribute vehicleName (for a loadpoint) the value null... This have changed in the meanwhile - and now the API returns an empty String...

So in order to reflect this - I must add a simple TAG specific check in the code...

THANKS for letting me know!
