v1.2.2 improvements

Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.2.2

v1.2.0 major release

🔧 Major Changes & Enhancements

1. Added Support for Multiple Notification Services

   • Introduced Pushover and Ntfy notifications alongside Discord.
   • Configurable via wallbox_monitor.credo.

2. Improved State Management (state file Enhancements)

   • Introduced a repeat check mechanism (repeat_check flag) to prevent false positives on cable disconnections.
   • Start time preservation now ensures accurate tracking of charging sessions.

3. Refined Charging Detection & Handling

   • Charging state transition is now more robust.
   • Fixed edge cases where charging stopped was reported incorrectly.

4. Better Error Handling & Debugging

   • Added DEBUG mode (DEBUG_MODE=true via environment variable) for additional logs.
   • Improved exception handling when fetching charging status.

🚀 New Features

✅ Cable Disconnect Verification

• On first detection, the script waits for the next execution before confirming the disconnection.
• Prevents unnecessary alerts from temporary connection losses.

✅ Session Energy Tracking

• Now tracks the exact session energy consumption and sends a summary.
• Includes format_duration() for precise reporting of charging time.

✅ Enhanced Logging

• Logs before & after state changes for debugging.
• Added state file content logging when corruption is detected.

---

🐛 Fixes & Optimizations

🔹 Fixed start_time loss issue

• Previously, start_time was reset after charge rate notifications, causing incorrect session tracking.
• Now preserved correctly throughout execution.

🔹 Fixed incorrect total_energy_wh handling

• Previously, total_energy_wh could reset or mismatch during transitions.
• Now stored and retrieved properly across state changes.

🔹 Optimized Selenium Retries

• Reduced excessive retries (30 → 10) for faster script execution.
• Improved error resilience in fetching charging rate & energy.

---

📌 Summary

🔹 More reliable charge state detection
🔹 More detailed session energy reporting
🔹 More notification options (Pushover, Ntfy)
🔹 Less false positives on cable disconnections
🔹 Better debug logging for troubleshooting

✅ Upgrade recommended for more accurate tracking and fewer false alerts! 🚀

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.2.0

v1.1.0 major release

🛠 Energy Consumption & Charging State Fixes
✅ Fixed negative energy values when the charger resets (stored_power > total_energy_wh).
✅ Corrected session energy display to prevent redundant values (X kWh of X kWh).
✅ Added charger reset detection with logs when stored_power > total_energy_wh.

🔄 Improved Charging State Handling
✅ Modified "charging stopped" notification (only when charging ends, not on cable unplugging).
✅ Prevented "charging stopped" from triggering on cable disconnection.
✅ Introduced cable connection & disconnection detection:
• "🔌 Cable disconnected" is only sent once, when unplugging.
• "🔌 Cable connected" is only sent once, when replugging.
✅ Ensured state is saved correctly in STATE_FILE:
• "disconnected" is now properly recorded instead of defaulting to "idle".
• When the cable is reconnected, it transitions back to "idle" or "charging" correctly.

🔁 Fetching & Error Handling Improvements
✅ Ensured 30-second retry loop in fetch_charging_status() and logged each attempt for debugging.
✅ Improved exception handling in fetch_charging_status() (catches NoSuchElementException, TimeoutException).
✅ Fixed missing exception handling in main():
• Catches all errors and logs them as CRITICAL.
• Sends a Discord alert when an unexpected error occurs.
• Ensures driver.quit() always runs, even if an exception happens.

🔔 Improved Discord Notifications
✅ Added Discord alerts when:
• Fetching fails after 30 retries.
• A fatal error occurs in fetch_charging_status().
• Cable is unplugged (🔌 Cable disconnected).
• Cable is reconnected (🔌 Cable connected).

🛠 Prevented Notification Spam
✅ Tracked in STATE_FILE so alerts are sent only when the state changes.

v1.0.6 readme update

just a readme update

Full Changelog: v1.0.5...v1.0.6

v1.0.5 improvement

Full Changelog: v1.0.4...v1.0.5

v1.0.4 improvement release

• if the current charging session was not the first one, meaning there was a total consumption already recognized, the consumption of the session is shown as part of the total consumption

• added the total time the current charging session was active in hh:mm

Full Changelog: v1.0.3...v1.0.4

v1.0.3 improvement release

• limited log size to 10 mb
• dynamically determines the script directory using os.path.abspath(file), ensures wallbox_monitor.credo and log files are always correctly found
• all major actions (state changes, API requests, errors) are now logged
• ensured, that the charging power notification is just sent once
• better error handling, if the credo file could not be found or opened
• if wallbox_state.txt does not exists, it will be created now
• integrated the persistent notified flag into the state file, ensuring the 5-minute notification is sent only once per charging session

Full Changelog: v1.0.2...v1.0.3

v1.0.2 bugfix release

fixed a file path issue for log_file and config_file

Full Changelog: v1.0.1...v1.0.2

v1.0.1 improvement release

✅ Sensitive URLs are now stored in wallbox_monitor.credo, keeping the script clean and secure.
✅ No need to modify the script when updating URLs, just edit wallbox_monitor.credo.
