[Bug]: Status failed with error: ERR_BAD_REQUEST

[julienpmorand]

Describe the bug

Everything was working fine when all of a sudden the plugin stopped working. I wasn't able to lock/unlock/remote start the car any more. In the debug console, it seems to be able to find the vehicle description, but returns the bad request after it tries to Configure the car to refresh every 60 minutes. Nothing was changed in the configuration. It just stopped working all of a sudden.

[10/10/2023, 8:46:26 PM] [homebridge-fordpass] Status failed with error: ERR_BAD_REQUEST

Steps to reproduce

Restart Homebridge, the log will keep returning the same bad request

Device Type

Ubuntu 20.04, but running Homebridge in Docker

iOS Version

17.0.3

Bug Persistence

Consistently

Last Working Version

used to work on 17.0.3, it just stopped today

[maximuswallis]

Same here. Only noticed it very recently.

[julienpmorand]

Same here. Only noticed it very recently.

Glad I'm not the only one, thanks! Also I forgot to mention that when you try a command, the fordpass plugin will log a ton of bad requests

[LeFumiste]

The same as you with my account 😅

[tonesto7]

Ford changed the API https://github.com/itchannel/fordpass-ha/issues/303

The new API is hosted by autonomic and has much more detail

[BatMahn]

Just bumping for awareness. Same issue here.

HomeAssistant has made some progress.. but I couldn't get reliable starting. Also tying it into Homekit kinda sucks (IMO). So, fingers crossed for an update here.

(to the developer.. no rush man.. appreciate everything you've done so far)

[Brandawg93]

I'm hoping to have time to look at it this weekend. I always have personal issues that I have to overcome for testing this plugin 😅. My car is parked in a garage with no cell service so I have to go find a spot on the street. If I get a chance, I'll leave it somewhere for a few days.

[Brandawg93]

Ok. Latest test version is live (v1.9.0-test.0). Please check it out and let me know if you find any bugs!

There is still much to be done since this is practically a rewrite, but I'm getting some sleep for tonight. 💤 More to come!

[BatMahn]

So far.. seems that locking and starting are working (at least for me anyways).

Cheers.

Edit: 1-2 minutes after locking, it "unlocks" again. I don't think it's actually physically unlocking.. just telling Homekit it did.

[Brandawg93]

Yep. Lock status wasn't working. I've published v1.9.0-test.1 that fixes it. I will need someone with a EV to verify that this version is working for them (e.g. charging status and charging plug status) as I don't have an EV.

I've made the debug logs print out the vehicle metrics so anyone with an EV can copy it here (with vin and others redacted).

[julienpmorand]

Can confirm the occupancy is detected when the car is charging, will confirm in the next few hours to validate it detects when it's done charging. Thanks for the hard work!

[julienpmorand]

As for the log, maybe I could send it your way via email? It's too long for a Github comment. I have a PHEV, not an EV

[Brandawg93]

@julienpmorand Sure. brandawg93@proton.me

[julienpmorand]

Can now report that both occupancy triggers work like they used to, thanks!

[Brandawg93]

Thanks for confirming! v1.9.0 is now live for everyone. If anyone has any other issues, feel free to submit another issue.
