Missing or Incorrect Translation

Oct 13, 2025 by wbrum.org 41 views

Introduction

When using the "Ändere die Option [go-e] Logik/Modus" action in an automation, the drop-down menu displays numbers instead of the corresponding descriptions. This issue also affects the "Aktuell ausgewählte Option von [go-e] Logik/Modus" condition. In this article, we will explore the possible causes and solutions to this problem.

Checklist

Before we dive into the troubleshooting process, make sure you have completed the following checklist:

Latest Release: You have installed the latest release (or BETA) version of the integration and Home Assistant.
DEBUG Log Output: You have prepared DEBUG log output (for technical issues). In most cases of a technical error/issue, you would need to ask for DEBUG log output of the integration. There is a short tutorial/guide on how to provide DEBUG log output available here: https://github.com/marq24/ha-senec-v3/blob/master/docs/HA_DEBUG.md
SHIT-IN - SHIT-OUT Principle: You understand the SHIT-IN - SHIT-OUT principle (in case of implausible data). It will happen that the data displayed by this integration does not make much sense (to you) - aka the data is not plausible. Of course, it could be the case that something in this integration has been messed up - but so far, in all reported issues, the root cause of implausible data was/is that the go-eCharger device itself already provided this data [you can check this by directly requesting the attribute from the wallbox].
Confirmed Issue: You confirm it's really an issue. In the case that you want to understand the functionality of a certain feature/sensor, please be so kind and make use of the discussion feature of this repo (and do not create an issue) - TIA.

Add a Description

When using the action "Ändere die Option [go-e] Logik/Modus" in an automation, the drop-down menu shows 3, 4, 5 instead of "Eco-Modus", "Default", and "Next Trip". This is the same for the condition "Aktuell ausgewählte Option von [go-e] Logik/Modus".

It would be great to have the descriptions instead of the numbers in the drop-down menu.
