OpenEVSE and Home Assistant Fordpass range integration is off

[chriserx]

Anyone using this or maybe a similar setup and notice that the range is off by 1.61x. It's obviously a miles to kilometers conversion problem. I've tried different settings in different locations, outside of looking at the code for Home Assistant and HA Fordpass, anyone have a fix I may be overlooking? The only thing I know I haven't tried is changing the Ford app to report km. Range shows right everywhere but in the OpenEVSE entity for Home Assistant. Pretty minor but kinda annoying.

I realize this isn't going to be a super popular setup, I made several automations by myself to control to taper the charge rate without setting a hard cut off limit like most setups for HVB battery life and to support the LVB without a battery maintainer. Then I consulted ChatGPT about it not realizing that I could combine all of the automations into one so I thought I'd share in case anyone else's charger is compatible with Home Assistant, which may require modification.

Prerequisites as is:
OpenEVSE
Home Assistant with HA Fordpass
