Activate one-time-charge: Deactivation?

Open lukx opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hey, I am using the activate_onetimecharge Button to bypass the limited integration with my solar panels. Upon researching I found that the official app and pyvicare both support deactivation of the one-time charge, too: https://github.com/somm15/PyViCare/blob/fb0bde1b3e6cd6b3b071773d6b151e7b57a06c95/PyViCare/PyViCareDevice.py#L276

How would one integrate it into this integration?

Option 1: Offer a switch entity

  • Get the status value from getOneTimeCharge in pyvicare
  • on/off correspond to activate/deactivate oneTimeCharge

Pro: Representing on/off values like a homeassistant user is accustomed Con: The existing button integration would only make limited sense, so this smells like a breaking change or carried-on legacy

Option 2: Offer another button to deactivate Con: Ignores the current status of the one-time charge a bit Pro: easy integration

Opinions? (I am going to sketch out a branch with option 1)

What is the current status of that feature? Did you create a own solution or is there already a integration featuring that?
