Not an issue - question concerning ON / OFF State

[mac89muc]

Had anybody got the Power (On/Off) State working?

I'm using a Jura E6 - and a year ago it was working with a little detour - I checked the sum of the coffees made and when the amount was lower then the value before the machine was off. So at that time when the machine was off - there weren't any status updates send concerning the total amount of coffees / cappuccinos etc. and the value was resetted to 0. When the machine was powered on again the 0 was replaced with the correct values and so the status of the machine was recognized as on.

These days the amount isn't going to be resetted to 0 when the machine was powered off. No clue if this changed due to an update of the esp..??

I haven't checked this, but I think the number of coffees made can help to distinguish that the machine has been turned on manually.
So this would allow to turn it off remotely after anyone turns on and makes at least one coffee.
I guess that this idea could fix issues with using integration to manage remote turn off after manual turn on.
Just the question is if it should be done by script inside esphome or by ha automation...

I've fixed this by first sending the TY: command. If there is a response the machine is powered on and values are retrieved.
If the return string is empty the machine is powered off and the function returns without results.

Hi,
I've fixed this by adding a tasmota-plug. If there is power-consumption I (or HA) know that it is on, if power-consumption is 0 the device is off.

Just thinking about it again there is also another possibility:
I have an E8 and the ESP is powered directly through the E8. If the device is powered off also the ESP lost power and becomes unavailable. This "unavailability" can be checked within HA and so the status of the E8 can also be determined.
