> [@pwad](#): > > Do you get the charging starts and car connected triggers in your flows? - Yes, I have a “if car connects” and “if car disconnects” flow in use. These are both not working right now. - The “When car starts” charging and “When car stopps” charging works as expected. Here is a log after I connected my car, but without starting to charge: [2023-03-24T18:35:30.799Z] Failed to handle charger state 721: SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0 [2023-03-24T18:35:30.802Z] Updated charger state [2023-03-24T18:36:01.565Z] Failed to handle charger state 721: SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0 [2023-03-24T18:36:01.567Z] Updated charger state [2023-03-24T18:36:30.886Z] Failed to handle charger state 721: SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0 [2023-03-24T18:36:30.889Z] Updated charger state [2023-03-24T18:37:00.968Z] Failed to handle charger state 721: SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0 [2023-03-24T18:37:00.971Z] Updated charger state [2023-03-24T18:37:31.347Z] Failed to handle charger state 721: SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0 [2023-03-24T18:37:31.349Z] Updated ---

First of all - thank you for developping to Zaptec. Don’t know if this is of any help. Created a flow that collects alle variables when a flow is activated. See below. ![Flow data](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/8647f3702a4b932c13696e05ba17f38ae9c5f074.jpeg) (Hope the image shows) ---

Okay, it looks like the `CarDetected` state is not triggering at all. I will check into it later tonight. I still don’t get why the `SessionIdentifier` state (721) is failing to parse. It doesn’t really do anything. My current guess is that homey does some internal parsing of states which I’ve managed to bork with previous releases. Would it be possible for any of you to try and remove and re-add your charger and see if the messages disappears? That would at least (dis)prove the thesis. ---

I’ve pushed another release which uses the charging operation mode to trigger car disconnected / connected. Let’s see if we get the behaviour we expect. As for those asking for the link to the app, since I’m pushing fairly small and continuous changes I don’t want to submit for certification each time. It’s better that we get the base functionality in place and then I will formally publish it all the way and continue iterating! ---

@pwad : Start / Stop / Disconnect / Connect Flows successfully tested! They work as expected. Good job! There is a issue with the boolean “Charging”. It stayed on “yes” after the charging ended. Charge mode has been set correct. The value changed to “no” after I disconnected my car. ![Charge Boolean](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/2/12aff3df49410c30554e1ca37baa358d794213b6.jpeg) ---

@rh_rh The “Charging” token should’ve been fixed now. This affects the charging button in the device in the UI, i.e. when you want to manually start a charge using the Homey app. Could you try to start a charge manually via homey, just to see the experience? Edit: I’ve also pushed a fix for the token in the latest version 🙂 ---
