Home Assistant integration for Hypervolt EV charger

In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

What people report

Hypervolt EV chargers are controlled only through Hypervolt's cloud; local control is not offered. The car-plugged sensor behaves oddly on V2 chargers.

Hypervolt V2.0 charger Octopus schedulingWorks CloudSchedule from Octopus Target Rate service works

This takes a Target Rate tracker from https://github.com/BottlecapDave/HomeAssistant-OctopusEnergy and applies the schedule to Hypervolt. Tested OK on my HV2.0... It also attempts to use `binary_sensor.octopus_energy_{{ACCOUNT_ID}}_intelligent_dispatching` entity `planned_dispatches` - e.g. if HV was a second charger to a compatible unit or car. But I dont have intelligent so can't test... The reason I want to take this approach is due to cloud based nature of integration. We could just have HA wait for the target entity to come on, and then switch between plug and charge/schedule or …

It shows the new binary sensor “ binary_sensor.hypervolt_car_plugged” however it remains “off” even when I’ve attached a car. This is on a v2 charger running pi4.202209271128.1962865 looks like HV still aren’t auto updating charger firmware as that looks suspiciously like 18 month old firmware, if it’s of any benefit I can give Hv support a call tomorrow and ask them to update it
