Hi Jimmy, Thanks for sending this over, unfortunately this is expected behaviour as Pod Point considered a single ‘charge’ to be from plug in to unplug. This is ostensibly because your car may have a schedule, or otherwise pause the charge whilst still connected. For myself I have a Citroen C5 AirCross Hybrid, I used an integration to get basic stats from the car. When the charge state changes to finished, or reaches 100% I trigger and automation to notify me. The pod point (and mostly all chargers) are actually pretty dumb, they don’t have a true two way data connection to the car and rely on resistances across the two data lines to get rudimentary commands like ‘ready to charge’, ‘stop’, etc but not a ‘im done and won’t ask for more later’. Another user of the automation had some logic along the lines of ‘if current charge has been stable for 10 minutes, I don’t use in car scheduling so you can assume it is complete’. A bonus tidbit of information of PodPoints APIs, they dont return a charge duration until you unplug. So they coins how long in one session they are actually delivering power but it’s not finalised u til you unplug Hope this helps :) Matt
