Thank you Bernhard,

Found your blog with a google search and hopefully it resolves my issue with charging my car,
sometimes the charging station gives a weird response which crashes my HA automation

Edit my autmation with     value_template: "{{states('sensor.alfen_laadpaal_main_state_socket_1') | default(32)}}"
Crossing fingers this fixed it, it happens like once in a few months
