Car_charging_slot flips status between on and off every 5 mins during a charging slot

[dnh007]

I'm new to predbat and HA, have set up predbat planning and it's controlling my GE inverter fine. Have now set up car charging using predbat with Octopus Agile (so predbat planned charging), and I'm using the basic recommended automation in the Predbat documentation to start/stop my Easee EV charger based on change of state of the car_charging_slot sensor. During the predbat planned charging period, every 5 mins the sensor flips status, which is then picked up by my automation which it turn flips my charger on or off. This continues for the whole of the planned charging slot. Predbat seems to be picking up the car SoC from the integration I have set up to plan the charging slots OK. I can't find a report of anyone else having this problem so I must have something set up incorrectly, but I can't see what. Any ideas please?

this is my automation:
alias: Easee start/stop on Predbat slot
description: Start/Stop car charging based on Predbat slots
triggers:

• trigger: state
  entity_id:
  • binary_sensor.predbat_car_charging_slot
    conditions: []
    actions:
• if:
  • condition: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.predbat_car_charging_slot
    state: "on"
    then:
  • device_id: 00025b3f21e0f152f06c79333528af0c
    domain: easee
    type: resume
  • action: notify.persistent_notification
    metadata: {}
    data:
    message: Predbat starting Easee Charge slot
• if:
  • condition: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.predbat_car_charging_slot
    state: "off"
    then:
  • device_id: 00025b3f21e0f152f06c79333528af0c
    domain: easee
    type: pause
  • action: notify.persistent_notification
    metadata: {}
    data:
    message: Predbat ending Easee Charger slot
    mode: single
