Zappi Turn off Boost Service

[tasranson]

Loving this HA Addon, so thank you. I am using it to manage my two Zappi’s charging and boosting when needed based on car battery level, solar energy, weather forecast, and electricity time of use tarrif. I use the boost service and it works well.

However, there is a scenario where the time of use tariff changes before boosting is completed and I want to stop boosting. So far I have been calling the boost service again, with a 1 kw boost, which sort of works, but isn’t ideal. Calling it with 0 kw doesn’t work.

it looks like there is a myenergi API call that turns off boost, and I can get this to work in a browser, but can’t seem to make it work in node red. I always get a gateway timeout there. This is likely ‘cause I don’t know what I’m doing :-].

So for this use case, it would be awesome if there was a service call to stop boosting, or if calling the boost one with 0kw could send the turn off boost myenergi api call.

thanks for the great addon - it helps me a lot.

I’ve noticed that stopping the Zappi or Eddi via the App can take a long time and invariably does not work first time, this makes me think there is a specific sequence to go through for the off commands - but what is it? Little has been published / discussed that I can find.

Apparently, according to this: https://github.com/twonk/MyEnergi-App-Api The API call to stop a Zappi from Boosting (which I think is different to stopping it charging at all) is: https://s18.myenergi.net/cgi-zappi-mode-Z[HUBSNODIGITS]-0-2-0-0000<https://s18.myenergi.net/cgi-zappi-mode-Z%5bHUBSNODIGITS%5d-0-2-0-0000%0d> The same reference talks about Eddi.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look at this when I can, busy with work at the moment but should hopefully have some time soon.

I just wanted to add my vote for this. If I have time I might take a stab at it, but I don't have experience with Home Assistant dev

I'm using the following service call in Home Assistant to cancel a manual boost on my eddi.
Essentially, telling it to boost for zero minutes.
Might the same work for the zappi? Or is the issue that a manual boost will not override a scheduled one?

  action: call-service
  service: myenergi.myenergi_eddi_boost
  target:
    device_id: d5dd1832cdfa5ad4878fead9dbd0a13e
  data:
    target: Heater 1
    time: 0```

[RobFerrer]

The zappi boost service has a minimum "amount" of 1, so unfortunately that doesn't work.

I wonder if that's by design... to allow it to reduce the power gently?

[RobFerrer]

pymyenergi sports cancelling the boost, so it looks to be an option;
