Tested v2.9.3 with the “Fix charger off” setting, and it worked well.
It stopped directly when I sent the stop command and it started when I sent the start command later during the night.
I’m a bit curious your use case because I never succeded in stopping the charging with the version that didn’t´have this fix.
Note that I never poll the car, instead I use an energy meter connected to my wall box to notify home that charging has started.
If i turn off the app in homey and just let kias own app to be used it is no problems. As soon as i turn on the app in homey after a while this starts happening it seam to lock itself. The result in kias own app is it just spin and spin on update as a result. Untill i reset the car.
The daily error is just caused by the login validity ending. They are exactly 24hrs apart from each other. The Homey app will automatically login again and retry the command that failed. So that is normal behavior.
This might be your real problem that causes the lockups and following errors. To solve it go to advanced settings and disable ‘fix charger off after refresh’.
I had the same issue with my car. It is caused by unstable firmware of the car unit. In the shop they upgraded the firmware and that also helped.
Hi
I have created an advanced flow that activates and deactivates the charging when the price is respectively below and above a certain price I have decided.
My problem is that the charging will not start again once it has been stopped. I get a message that the charger is not plugged in.
Have been looking for where I can disable “fix charger off after refresh”, as I suspect that this may well be the cause.
Actually, I would like the charging to pause and not stop completely.
In my flow, I use the following flow cards:
Force status refresh (once)
Turn charging on
Turn charging off
After Force status refresh I wait 30 secs. before the next action.
Hoping that some of you might have some good ideas or advice
That was a super good question. I just tested it and I get the same error via the kia app. It says on the app that “Charging: Not plugged in”, but I have not removed the charging cable.
I use the e.on charging stand, could that be the problem?
By the way, thanks for the quick reply, and also a great app for Homey
I can also see two Odometer values, as well as 2 Range values and 2 Speed values on my Kia.
The second one is showing the correct values. How’s that possible?
By the way, last Saturday I’ve updated the car software as well…
