Tesla API "hiccup" prevent Model 3 from sleeping // Update to 1.3?
Hi all! Especially @ngardiner and @MikeBishop :-) A couple of days ago I recognized that my Model 3 would no longer go into sleep mode. I tried multiple restarts and also disconnected my data logger "Tronity.io". (I wasn't thinking about TWCManager in the first place) Still no sleep. So I contacted Tesla and they said "it's a 3rd party app connection". This was the decisive clue to TWCManager. I removed my token and - sleep! Very strange as I NEVER experienced such an issue with TWCManager... So now I want to bring everything back to normal and was wondering if I should try the 1.3 developer version as you (among many other things) updated something regarding the Tesla API. How can I safely upgrade from 1.2.6 to 1.3? Or would you say that's not a good idea?
Thanks in advance!
Well, my updated code is still in an unmerged branch. I primarily use TeslaMate for monitoring, but I haven noticed that TWCManager's connection to TeslaMate occasionally falls off, and when it returns to API polling it does keep the car awake. I was thinking that was a bug in my branch that I haven't sorted out yet, but it's certainly possible the bug exists in 1.2.x as well.
I don't think it's related to my monitoring tool Tronity.io ... they are not connected to each other and worked side-by-side for years now. Usually Tronity caused sleep issues from time to time. But not this time :) So you would not recommend to upgrade to TWCManager 1.3? (because wouldn't change much with regards to the Tesla API implementation?)
FWIW, I just pushed two changes I think will improve the situation in my branch: Reinitializing the Teslamate connection every 24 hours, and being less aggressive about API calls when Teslamate isn't being used. However, I don't think that says anything about what's in other branches, since the aggressive code is something I added.
Thanks for your update! As I'm using this branch :) when will 1.3 will be made stable release? (If I remember correctly there will also be a new upgrade method as @ngardiner mentioned)
It happened again! :-/ No sleep because of any kind of Tesla API hiccup… I overwrote the API Key in TWCManager and it was gone/car went into sleep. How/Where can I check what TWCManager is doing with the API? What kind of calls it’s making?
