reversed Locking status #127

Closed CzechSebastian closed 3 years ago

CzechSebastian commented 3 years ago

Hi, I have a 2017 Ford Escape and the lock/unlock status is reversed. When It's locked and I swipe on HomeKit to unlock my car, the switch goes form unlock to lock and return to unlock.

When I go to Fordpass App and I unlock my car , I can lock my car with homekit, but not all the times.

I see the same issue on reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/homebridge/comments/kehbiy/fordpass_plug_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Hi. I posted a reply there. The top comment is exactly correct. Ford's API is very unreliable and goes down all the time. This causes undefined behavior within Homebridge. You can try either restarting homebridge or deleting the accessory cache within the UI settings to reset the plugin.

I try restarting but same issue. How can I deleting the accessory cache? Thanks

Brandawg93 commented 3 years ago

If you use the Config UI, you can go to "Homebridge Settings" > "Manage Cached Accessories" and clear them there.

Same thing after resting all parameters , The car is locked, but homekit tells me the opposite.

This usually means that FordPass thinks it's unlocked. Their API does not update instantly and sometimes it can take a while for it to update. That's if the API is working at all.

CzechSebastian commented 3 years ago

But in the Fordpass App , it still locked. Everything is ok for remote start, weird... it will use the same api than the ford app right ?

Brandawg93 commented 3 years ago

How do you see that the vehicle is locked in the app? My app shows a lock button, but no indication whether the vehicle is locked or not.

CzechSebastian commented 3 years ago

ah sorry , you tells right ! does I have the choice to remove this function (lock) ? and does homekit can show the fuel level ?

Brandawg93 commented 3 years ago

You cannot currently remove the lock feature. The fuel level is mapped the the battery level of the lock. Try saying, "Hey Siri, what is the fuel level of [device name]?"

CzechSebastian commented 3 years ago

It doesn't work anymore...

Brandawg93 commented 3 years ago

I can confirm it's working on my setup. You can look at the settings of the lock in the Home app to find the battery level.

CzechSebastian commented 3 years ago

have you a screenshot where to look ? I'm struggling now...

Brandawg93 commented 3 years ago

Press the lock Press the settings gear Press accessories Press the lock Press the settings gear Look at battery level

CzechSebastian commented 3 years ago

ah ok I have it , but can I have it on my home page ?

Brandawg93 commented 3 years ago

Not that I know of. You could try asking how to do that on the homebridge community discord. It's in the README.
