Please check Services, Known Bug / Issues and Troubleshooting over here first: https://github.com/fuatakgun/kia_uvo/blob/master/README.md Region and Brand of car EU / NL Version of the integration 2.27.0

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. A lot of times a day, I see all the entities of the car become unavailable, after a refresh or force refresh or waiting half an hour, all entities become available again Debug logs if an error occurred

To Reproduce wait....

Expected behavior entities stay filled, or become updated

Additional context

[cdnninja]

Do you have it set to use email for geocode?

[Dinges28]

Do you have it set to use email for geocode?

No, it stated optional, should I?

[cdnninja]

Give it a go and please let me know if it solves it.

We do need to fix the code to not crash when the geocode doesn't work but I suspect it's rate limited.

[Dinges28]

I Enabled it... lets wait and see ;-)

[Dinges28]

Up till now... It looks promising. just had 1 occasion, but that could have been an error on my side. Will wait till the end of today. Else it was the geocode error.

btw; While having you on the "line", probably you know this. My cars location is only updated on the moment of being parked and locked for 10 minutes or so.. I only see the parking locations in the history of the location. Is this default behavior? And can I automate it that if it receives "engine state: on" to force update every 15 minutes or so? Or something more smart?

[cdnninja]

The car only reports to the server based on its logic. Separately we query the server at the interval set in config. Certain commands force the car to wake up but that consumed 12v battery and isn't great. If you like you can use automations to trigger the logic you are looking for but may have risk.

I do think we can fix code here to improve the geocode issue.
