Server Shutdown Button
In the future there will be the option in evcc to (temporary) disable loadpoints (and probably other things). This can become quite handy in various automation scenarios (like make use of Tibber Grid Rewards). In any case the upcoming evcc feature (don't asks for release dates!) will require the restart of evcc, once a loadpoint have been disabled - and a restart of evcc (via the API) require the admin credential/password.
With the new release of this integration you have now the option (but you don't have too) to provide your evcc admin password in the HA integration. You can add it via the 'Re-Configure' option in HA.
Once you have provided the integration with the credential, you can enable the new button.evcc_evcc_shutdown entity (it's disabled by default). Of course you can enable this new button also without providing the admin password - but then obviously the button will not work :-)
Please note, that in the current state, no other entities (that are available via the evcc-configuration UI) have been added within this release - it's MAYDAY!
Bugfix for vehicle / loadpoints
In some rare cases, the session information might contain invalid duration information - this had messed up the session duration sensors (for both loadpoints and vehicles). If such sessions exist in your evcc instance, the integration will ignore these entries.
It's MAYDAY ?!
If you not grown up in the 90's - then you probably missed MAYDAY - it's actually one of the few tracks from Berlin that made it into my heart...
