Hi and thanks for committing 🙂 Connected my early -22 XC60. - lock view ok. Nok action and Nok update - distant view ok. Update 41m ok - location view ok. Update ok, my address . - engine view ok. Nok update (engine running, not true. “Senate värmepump okänd”. - fuel (petrol) view ok. Ok update (500 km, updater 10min ago) - battery range view ok. Ok update (19km, update 11 min). BUT in Volvo app 17km - Carging system status view ok. Update ok (100% and “Klar”) Great start. Battery range difference relates to update time? Locking do not work. Enging status Nok. ---

I can see in the diagnostics that it’s also having issues getting the location or the doors status. But that information is being updated in the app… Ah… it might be the old device I still have active in the app. Scratch that… I thought I didn’t delete the old one, but apparently I did ---

Added some more logging of the error from Volvo’s API in the v1.2.7 test version. ---

The refresh interval is set to 5 minutes by default. You can set it as low as 1 minute in the settings on the device. I have seen myself before that it lagged a bit with engine status via this API endpoint, don’t know why. What is returned from the API is what is shown. Maybe will see for debugging purpose if I do a setting for each value in the app to display the timestamp from when it was fetched from the car. The API returns this. ---

The latest test version got some debug info in the device settings. Last updated timestamp for the different values in the app. The timestamp for when the Volvo api got an updated value from the car. Also added a field for the last API error. It may contain information about your vcc token or similar if there are problems when invoking the Volvo APIs ---

Have this version for a day now and it seems to be working. All 6 dashboard items are being updated and look valid. I do still see it raises an error occasionally telling the API key is incorrect… but it isn’t because it seems to be working most of the time Thanks for adding the support for Android auto! ---

Nice! I noticed that the vehicle is unpaired from Volvo app so I guess the api only supports one connection. I will try to pair the phone with the car again to see what happens. ---

> [@Sammyj](#): > > I noticed that the vehicle is unpaired from Volvo app so I guess the api only supports one connection This is interesting, or strange. Haven’t read about that. Don’t own a Volvo anymore so can’t test myself. The authentication part is copied from here, [GitHub - Dielee/volvo2mqtt: Home Assistant addon for connecting AAOS Volvos](https://github.com/Dielee/volvo2mqtt), as stated before - and I haven’t seen that comment there.
