could be that not all charger models support that feature. ---

After two test sessions it seems to be working again. Thanks for the quick response and merger/publishing. ---

**Subject:** PR [#32](https://github.com/kaohlive/com.newmotion.my/pull/32) — 7 bug fixes for com.newmotion.my (follow-up to #31) Hi Kaoh, Thanks for quickly merging and publishing #31 last week — appreciated! I’ve opened a follow-up PR ([#32](https://github.com/kaohlive/com.newmotion.my/pull/32)) with 7 bug fixes I found while investigating a report from a user (KingSize32 on the Homey community forum). The most important one fixes the root cause of the “button briefly turns off then back on” issue when stopping a session: - **`evcharger_charging` was mapped to `activeSession`** — when a car is plugged in (even after a successful stop), `activeSession` stays true, causing the button to snap back ON every 2-minute update cycle. Fixed to use `charging > 0` (only true when current is actually flowing). - **`SessionAction` was swallowing API errors** (`return err` instead of `throw err`) — made failures completely invisible. - 5 smaller fixes: `Console.log` ReferenceError, pause timeout too short (10s→30s), null guard in `onAdded()`, flow card ignoring `pause_on_stop`, and `getAuthCookie()` returning `undefined` on decrypt failure. PR is here: [Fix: 7 bug fixes for button revert, silent API failures, and stability by coertnoordermeer-coder · Pull Request #32 · kaohlive/com.newmotion.my · GitHub](https://github.com/kaohlive/com.newmotion.my/pull/32) Would you be able to review and publish as v4.1.20? Happy to answer any questions. Thanks, Coert ---

**@KingSize32 @Sjoerd_4 @thijscrombeen** — update on the current situation. **v4.1.19 (merged June 5)** introduced the `pause_on_stop` setting that @KingSize32 asked about. The default is OFF, meaning the button behaves exactly like it did before v4.1.18 — it starts/stops a full transaction using your registered card. You only need to turn the setting ON if you want the block/unblock behavior (useful for automated energy management flows that need to resume without an RFID card). If your button is still reverting to ON after pressing stop on v4.1.19, I’ve identified the root cause and it’s in PR [#32](https://github.com/kaohlive/com.newmotion.my/pull/32) (not yet merged): the update loop was checking `activeSession` (which stays true as long as the car is plugged in) instead of `charging > 0`. So even after a successful stop, the next update cycle — every 2 minutes — would flip the button back on. That’s the exact symptom both @KingSize32 and @Sjoerd_4 described. PR [#32](https://github.com/kaohlive/com.newmotion.my/pull/32) also fixes a silent error swallowing bug in SessionAction where API failures were returned as values instead of thrown — making it impossible to see why a command failed. @Kaoh could you take a look at [PR #32](https://github.com/kaohlive/com.newmotion.my/pull/32) when you have a moment? It should resolve the remaining button issues for everyone. ---

Done, analyzed and merged/published to prod. One attention point is **`pause_update_loop` 10s increased 30s** I remember looking for the minimum stable time for this. The reason to try to sit at the edge of trustworthy time is the user experience waiting for feedback on their action. It takes longer but more reliable. Its a choice that impacts the UX both positive and negative. Just so you know why I had it on 10s. ---

**@Kaoh** — thanks for the quick merge and for explaining the 10s reasoning, that’s a fair point. The motivation for 30s was specifically the `StopTransaction` case: if the charger takes longer than 10s to process the stop (slow API response, network hiccup), the update loop would fire in the meantime, see the charger still charging, and revert `evcharger_charging` to true — giving the user the impression their stop didn’t work. 30s was a conservative pick to cover that race condition. A middle ground worth considering: keep 10s as the base but add a second check — after the API call completes, verify `evcharger_charging_state` has actually changed before restarting the loop. That way normal cases stay fast (10s) and only slow cases wait longer. Happy to open a follow-up PR for that if you think it’s worth it. Thanks again for maintaining the app! ---

* * * **@Kaoh** — noted, thanks for setting that up. PR [#33](https://github.com/kaohlive/com.newmotion.my/pull/33) follows the process: version bumped to 4.1.21 in both `app.json` and `.homeycompose/app.json`, changelog entry added. Should be `git pull && homey app publish` straight after merge. The fix itself addresses the error-handling point you documented in CONTRIBUTING.md — `updateDevice()` in both `start_update_loop` and `pause_update_loop` now has `.catch()` so an unhandled rejection doesn’t crash the app. ---

merged, syced and pulbished 🙂 but Homey did not auto approve, so its on test now, we have to wait x days for it go to live. Great work! ---

@Kaoh It seems that, since a recent update from 50five, my charger can not be turned on of off via Homey. I dont get an error, went I set it to on it will swtich to off after 30 seconds by it self. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/3/f37913db4d0f959a05ec95292dedf5b9e7c9435c.jpeg) Any idea whats going wrong?

I have a 50five charger at home installed by my employer. Because billing goes through my employer i have no default 50five charging card but a subscription instead. I use a Arval card to start charging but this is only for identification because the subscription itself is added to the charging point. Therefore if I want to add my charger to Homey, I cannot proceed at the default charging card step because there is none. Any idea how I can overcome this? ---

I encountered exactly the same issue since yesterday, before that the issue did not occur. In my 50five account, 2 fact was not enabled. I enabled and disabled it again to see whether it solved the issue as you stated, which is not the case. Any clue how I can prevent the 50five app to automatically start loading after 30 seconds? ---

finally the support team from 50five came back and provided me the right credentials to log in again.

My charger doesn’t seem to be responding. I see no updates in the app. I would be more than happy to switch off 2FA (stupid over the top security!), but I don’t know where I can find it. Tried the repair option in Homey, entered the password again and nothing happens. Restarted the app. Opening the device it states that it hasn’t been seen for a while ---

Thanks! I have un ticked it. No updates yet in the app. Also “repaired” the charger in the app. Still last update 5 days ago. I will just have some patience. Edit: this was a “me” problem. I had to enter my current password when unticking the E-mail for OTP login. Did a “repair” again. Let’s wait for a bit And by the way: what an idiots at 50five! (Or I am an idiot) If you go to 50five.nl there is no way at all to login! Even if you click on “Voor berijders”. And they have hidden this portal somewhere far away! Why?!? How?!?
