Hope you tried the app on the phone already. Not sure what can cause this. ---

I tryed now on iPhone and it worked. But its strange and should be investigated … normally im using the phone only to look or switch, not to repair device integrations. I do configuration mostly on my desktop. ---

Could be investigated. Probably a combination of a lot of different things. Feel free to do research on it and create a pr. Thanks and good to know that you have a working system now. ---

Unfortunately I encounter still device unavailable errors also with v0.7.7. Restarting the app solves the problem immediately (for a couple of hours or days) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/f/5f83f977796bf87e775fa0c8acc2d9e6e30a7460.png) ---

@bMi Do you have the latest homey version. The app checks homey version validates that it is after 12.4.5 and only then adds the capability. Looking at the error seems like homey is complaining that the capability is invalid. Did you try pulling the plug and waiting then plugging it back in. Let me know. ---

Will push a new version where you can use a setting in the device to never put the device to unavailable. It will keep retrying and if it fails it will be silent. I do like that as that allow me to know that there is an issue. But seems like a lot of people are having issue with that. ---

Will there be any cars that functions as start charging and stop charging? My EV charger is an dumb charger unfortunately and wont detacet spotprice. Have an IX40 changing to IX45 soon. Not sure how it would work if I changed the 3 phase to a Shelly main fuse that monitors consumption and the program that one to allow charging when spotprices are low. ---

Hi All, Please realize that this error was always happening as nothing changed on using the bmw api itself. As part of the streamlining of the login flow this unavailable marker was added. Previously the api would fail but no error would be reported anywhere. Thats why a lot of times people complained that there have been no update for a while. Currently after a few failures the device is marked as unavailable and further attempts to communicate is stopped. Once i have some time i will push change where the attempts will keep continuing and mark the device again as available once the communication is reestablished. ---

Not sure. But most likely it is the charger which shows a car. As it cannot be sure if your car is charging at home or charging somewhere else. I have a smart meter on my dumb charger which is registered as a car charger and it does show in my garage.
