core Tesla Fleet: 'Auto Seat Climate Left' switch not working

The problem

When using the Tesla Fleet integration to control my car, I noticed the problem of being unable to turn on/off the switch.auto_seat_climate_left. When I press it, I will receive the error "Command was unsuccessful: invalid seat"

However, when I toggle the switch.auto_seat_climate_right then the left one gets activated. This issue is related to an index error and has also been mentioned in this issue, which is the library that is used for this integration: https://github.com/Teslemetry/python-tesla-fleet-api/issues/11

Additional information

When the library is updated, we can use the latest version in this integration. However, I am not sure if there have been any breaking changes of the python-tesla-fleet-api library in the meantime.

Yeah there is a bug I know about, just need to push the fix into Tesla Fleet and Tessie

Mar 25 '25 11:03 Bre77

Have you made the fix already? Otherwise I can also fork the python-tesla-fleet-api repo if you're busy and apply the fix so you'd only have to review it and bump the version here.

I believe the bug is in the Home Assistant side, essentially Tesla starts seat heater positions at 1, but the auto seat heater positions at 0, and I'm using the same constant for both. The fix is just changing them to literal 0 and 1 in Home Assistant
