custom charger: mapping values are not allowed in this context

[vbartels]

Ahoi,
I try to tie evcc to a Homebridge filesensor by just creating and deleting a file to cue hue lights / Homekit automations. And start/stop via a lidl plug outlet.

I continously get the error mapping values are not allowed in this context

My chargers section in ecvv.yaml looks like this:

chargers:
- type: custom
    status:
      source: script
      cmd: /bin/sh -c "echo aa"
      timeout: 3s

    enable:
      source: script
      cmd: /bin/sh -c "echo 0" # actual command
      timeout: 3s # kill script after 3 seconds

    enabled:
      source: script
      cmd: /bin/sh -c "echo 0" # actual command
      timeout: 3s # kill script after 3 seconds

    maxcurrent:
      source: script
      cmd: /bin/sh -c "echo 0" # actual command
      timeout: 3s # kill script after 3 seconds

The line giving the error is: - type: custom

I read the documentation but its not clear to me.

Hi, the official change of the meter type default to custom will be introduced in evcc release 0.54.
Please have a look at #988

Check PR #927. You'll need to pull the git main branch and compile by yourself to get it working until 0.54 is released as precompiled binary.

Yes, it should work. Just some keyword in the yaml-config file where renamed to make it easier to understand for new users.
Just replace type: custom by type: default and source: by type: while using the old version.

Hmm..
still the same error:

chargers:
- type: default
    status:
      type: script
      cmd: /bin/sh -c "echo aa"
      timeout: 3s

    enable:
      type: script
      cmd: /bin/sh -c "echo 0" # actual command
      timeout: 3s # kill script after 3 seconds

    enabled:
      type: script
      cmd: /bin/sh -c "echo 0" # actual command
      timeout: 3s # kill script after 3 seconds

    maxcurrent:
      type: script
      cmd: /bin/sh -c "echo 0" # actual command
      timeout: 3s # kill script after 3 seconds

./evcc -v evcc version 0.53 (85c9604)

The formating and indentation is wrong.
