A few weeks ago an earth fault in the middle of the night caused the RCD that feeds our 3 OpenEVSE units to trip off. When I noticed that I checked and could find no problem so powered them back on, but one of them would not charge the car. It seemed to have lost most of the basic settings, but even when I reset current etc limits, the 'Setpoint' was stuck resolutely at 6A so no charge was possible. Only when I moved the current slider on the charge screen did the Setpoint suddenly 'catch up' and start working correctly and with all current settings looking correct it would then charge the car.
I powered it off and on again to check and it again had lost its settings. So that is the first problem, although since then it has not been powered off and continues to work. The issue is why did it lose the settings when powered off? This should not happen and did not in the past.
I am now working on integrating the 3 units (2 later ones with the big screen and one earlier with the small screen, all on latest 8.2.2.EU with WiFi v5.1.5) into Home Assistant and notice strange behaviour of the 2 later units.
When no vehicle is connected and it is 'disabled' by the timer schedule, the 'Vehicle Connected' Entity in HA flashes continually between 'Plugged In' and 'Unplugged', every second or so. Connect to car and/or override timer to active mode and all is correct.
This however is not actually an HA problem as the web interface into these units and also their own screens show the same flip-flop between 'Connected' and 'No Vehicle Connected'.
Unfortunately I cannot confirm when this began. Possibly after the RCD related power outage, or before and I never noticed, or since then. I have no idea. However the fact the problem is restricted to the later units with the large screen suggests the problem is related to those.

Would appreciate ideas on both these issues.
