Description
What happened?
After an EV charging session completes, the NodOn SEM-4-1-00 stops reporting power measurements. All values (power, current, energy) remain frozen at 0 even with a load plugged in.
The device keeps publishing MQTT messages with correct linkquality and voltage, confirming Zigbee connectivity is not the issue.
MQTT payload example when stuck:{"ac_frequency":49.9,"current":0,"energy":206.33,"power":0,"power_apparent":0,"power_factor":1,"linkquality":153,"voltage":227.43}
Workarounds tried:
- Reconfiguring the device via Z2M → does not fix
- Re-interviewing the device → does not fix
- Factory reset of the NodOn → temporarily fixes until next EV charging session
- Physical power cut (circuit breaker off/on) → temporarily fixes
Related to #31790 but different symptom: power stuck at 0W instead of high value.
What did you expect to happen?
Power, current and energy should update normally when a load is plugged in after the EV charging session ends.
How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)
- Connect EV charger to NodOn SEM-4-1-00
- Run a full EV charging session (several hours, several kWh)
- Charging stops — power drops to 0W
- Plug any other load (e.g. fan) into the NodOn
- Power remains at 0W, current at 0A, energy counter frozen

Reporting intervals configured: max=3600s on all haElectricalMeasurement attributes
Bug appears systematically after each EV charging session.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the described EV charging sequence with the NodOn SEM-4-1-00 and observe its MQTT payloads, focusing on the haElectricalMeasurement attributes. Compare reporting before and after the session and investigate the device integration path; done means power, current, and energy update again after another load is connected.
