As Of Today Battery Details like SOC, PLUGGED, CHARGING are not updating.

LEAF_TYPE
after2019. 40kw UK

Expected behavior
Updates to happen. Climate and Location are still updating JUST Battery details

My Leaf is also failing so pretty sure that this is an underlying library issue.

If you can test and report to Tobias

My Leaf and the addon work for me as far as I can see.

My values didn't update either. My Leaf has had an update yesterday addressing this, and after recreating the leaf2mqtt-container it seems to be working fine again.

It seems that the Leaf2mqtt is getting the right data again, but somehow it is not pushed to HA any more .. ?

All my sensor in HA don't update after the last update while other MQTT itmes are working fine.
In MQTT explorer, is see now the old value (in my case SOC of 81% and a few lines below the new Value (9%)...

Diving in the logs :

[DerEichler]

Do you use the addon or the container? I just redid my setup with using the addon (easy to install, just fill in all the fields with data, otherwise the creation will fail) and everything works fine for me.

[Happyboy0980]

All works fine after re install, accept above error still there..

[Happyboy0980]

Working now..

But since it is not duration any more.. not really nice...

I'm having the same problem but only with the leaf/battery/charging and 'leaf/battery/connected. I uninstalled and reinstalled the add-on but it didn't make a difference. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/sensor/__init__.py", line 591, in state
    numerical_value = float(value)  # type:ignore[arg-type]
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'true'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

For me adding the payloads into the config worked for battery charging.

mqtt:
  binary_sensor:
    - name: leaf_battery_charging
      # Since VIN is not specified, it will represent the state from the first vehicle in the account.
      state_topic: "leaf/battery/charging"
      payload_off: "false"
      payload_on: "true"
      device_class: battery_charging

      payload_on: "true"
      device_class: battery_charging

.. and adding the payloads into the config also fixes the "leaf/battery/connected". Everything works now again!

I got the Connected Sensor working with the new payload thingy but the charging sensor is still not working, which is sad because that enables the add on to allow the faster refresh rate of the battery percentage.
