Error: Invalid flow specified on adding a car

[sanchosk]

Describe the bug I had two accounts - one for skoda and one for powerpass. To allow powerpass automatically authenticate on my car, I logged in to the car using the powerpass account. Same for skoda app. Afterwards, the car stop reporting the charging data etc. under the old skoda account. I therefore removed the skoda account from the integration and tried to add the new powerpass account. Provided login name and password, got a screen "Loading next steps for skoda connect" and received error "Invalid flow specified". Logging back in with the old account also did not work. Reinstalled the integration, tried again (found this on different bug here on github). Did not work. Removed the HACS integration, restarted HA, re-installed integration. Tried again to login using the powerpass, same error. Tried again to login using skoda account works, but does not provide the data again.

**Is this working in MySkoda app?*** Yes, logged out and in on 2 different phones, all works.

Latest working release Working with skoda account using release 1.2.12, same release does not work with powerpass.

First thought is that moving to the Powerpass account gets you into the same situation as users with new accounts/cars (e.g. https://github.com/skodaconnect/skodaconnect/issues/126) where the car data is no longer found by the old API (used by HA and MySkoda Essentials App) and only the new API (used by the newer MySkoda App) works.

Ouch :( One more reason to do my own integration, I guess :( But I'll wait if someone can also modify the integration to the new API, perhaps...

You are welcome to contribute to this integration.

Would you be able to guide me to "capture" somehow the API communication, perhaps? I would be glad to contribute, but my python-mojo is microscopic :) My other idea would be to use OBD2 and android phone to report the data to HA using MQTT - that's about as far as my scripting skills go :)
