inconsistent functioning

[cjramseyer]

Setup Fordpass integration with 2017 F-150 Platinum. Setup completes successfully, and all 17 added sensors function (doorlock, window position, etc.) Remote start functionality works as expected.

Occassionally, 15 of the sensor will become "unavailable", but then refresh and are available again.

These error below are showing in the log:

This error originated from a custom integration.

Are the unavailable sensors because of this?

This is due to the API sometimes not responding so the integration marks the sensors as unavailable until it can refresh the data from the Fordpass API again. Unfortunately with this being an unofficial integration and not having API developer access there's not much that can be done.
