I’m testing the version with the is\_parked capability. But even when the car is parked for more than 30 minutes, the value is still false. ---

I already see what the problem is. If my wife or my son use their own profile in the car I, as main user, cannot see the is\_parked status anymore. ---

Yes, that’s correct. Unfortunately, when other users use the car, it seems that Volkswagen protects their privacy and also blocks certain data. I’m the case of the parking position, this is done via a http status, meaning I cannot distinguish between different situations. The `is_parked` capability is now live for everyone! 🙂 ---

Thnx, any idea how to deal with that? I tried to add a new car with my wife’s account, but no ‘new’ car is available. ---

That’s because I register the device in your Homey by its VIN, meaning you cannot add the same car twice, even through different accounts. With 500+ active users, I cannot change this anymore to an account ID + VIN identifier. Sorry. Theoretically, you can run your own copy of this app on your device by following these steps: - Clone [the repository](https://github.com/Bloemendaal/app.bloemendaal.volkswagen) from GitHub. - Add the following line to the `drivers/volkswagen/driver.mts` file. - Install it on your Homey with `homey app install`. But that also means that you have to manually pull in any future changes that I push to this app. ---

I’ve added the line and installed bij CLI, after that installing the ‘second’ car was possible. But the is\_parked capability is now only available for the primary car, not for the just added new one. ---

That’s probably because you didn’t switch to that account yet. Every polling interval (default 10m), it checks if new data became available and if so it adds new capabilities. If the data wasn’t available during a poll, then the capability is missing. ---

Hi Casper, I have a question regarding your app and the Homey ABRP app. I use your tokens to sync with abrp, however Some tokens are not recognized by Homey as numeric values according to the ABRP dev. I get an error with following tokens: - actieradius - Kilometerstand - Lengtegraad - Breedtegraad Is this a Homey issue or something else? > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] - A Better Route Planner (ABRP)](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-a-better-route-planner-abrp/81861/100): > > @Fiek I would suggest to check that with the dev from VW as this is only an input. The error you get is from Homey itself So homey doesn’t see these values as numbers ---

There’s indeed a possibility that the values aren’t casted to the correct types. I know that Volkswagen sends float values as string to avoid floating point errors. I don’t have time this weekend to take a look, but I started this session to attempt to write a fix. If that doesn’t work, I’ll try to fix it myself before next Friday.

Yes, you can checkout that branch and install it with `homey app install`, but I haven’t reviewed the code yet ---

I installed the branch but get the same error. I will patiently wait for the fix. Have a nice weekend ! ---

The app only updates the value if the Volkswagen provides a newer updated at timestamp. I think it might be patience or try re-adding your device to reset these values. Or reset the timestamps on init with the custom app version. But it can also be broken 😅 ---

Do you have to have the vw connect plus contract or does it work without? On my golf gte some function doesn’t work. ---

can you see the data you expect being updated in the VW app on your phone if not you might require the Plus to get the data…. ---

You can make a boolean variable you can set with the card distance from home is less than x meters. ---

@Bloemendaal the card that should be easy to add is when “kilometerstand” has changed. Could you consider that?
