Tesla binding updates stopped suddenly

Herto · April 29, 2023, 5:29am

Hello,
I’m using OpenHAB for 5 month now, and I’m giving a hat tip to all the people working on it because that’s a great machine. I’m logging my Tesla 3 almost from that moment and it worked really great until the day before yesterday, when at some moment it were no longer able to communicate with the car.
To try to solve it I updated it, restarted the server (an Atom PC running LinuxMint) and updated also the refresh Token, with no improvement.
Tesla Things status keeps going from green to red to green at each update attempt.
I lowered the log level to trace and here i what I get for a typical update attempt :

Does someone has any idea about what’s going wrong?
Thank you,

KoenDeSmet · April 29, 2023, 8:37am

+1, same issue

Holger237 · April 29, 2023, 8:50am

same here.
All channels contain “NULL”. Connection to account and vehicle is online. Aby ideas what to do?

bobelhage · April 29, 2023, 10:18am

Same thing here. Any idea what happened ??

Samir.E · April 29, 2023, 3:42pm

Same here - if I can supply any information from my system needed to solve this, please just ask.

rwes · April 30, 2023, 8:56am

Same. Keeps flipping between online and offline.

While online, i get the following error from the vehicle handler: An exception occurred while parsing data received from the vehicle: ‘null’

nommy · April 30, 2023, 9:45am

Tesla made major changes in the API. The binding needs to be maintained.

antcan · April 30, 2023, 6:19pm

+1, same issue

Samir.E · May 1, 2023, 8:46am

The “funny” thing is that the Tibber app that with a high probability uses the Tesla API is still working.

somy · May 1, 2023, 9:34am

Same issue here, Tesla Homebridge plugin still works for me without issue

Chrischi · May 1, 2023, 6:39pm

Same issue for me. Teslafi still working.
Tried several new refresh token.
OH update to latest version 3.4.3 did not fix the issue either.

Phuong · May 1, 2023, 7:34pm

Same issue here
@Herto seems like this issue is registered on github [tesla binding] API not responsive to invoking vehicle_config, drive_state, vehicle state: error 404: not found. · Issue #14894 · openhab/openhab-addons · GitHub
Please registered the issue on github so it can quickly be resolved and not only in this forum/community.

bobelhage · May 2, 2023, 12:54pm

There are hopes!

Seems that there is smart people out there that quickly found a solution:

Or am I misunderstanding things - I’m far from an expert…

Chrischi · May 4, 2023, 5:03am

Issue is fixed for me after update to latest binding:

somy · May 4, 2023, 5:31am

Thanks that also fix the connection problem for me

somy · May 4, 2023, 5:36am

Hi all, sorry to hijack the discussion here, but I’d like to ask you guys how does the binding work for you? I ask because I often experience problem with OH integration to Tesla:

Items not updated - for example climate system is turned on however the state still shows off, the temperatures are also not updated
Significant delay when control the car - for example when turn on Sentry, it literally takes 5 minutes.
Many items shows Null value - for example I was hoping “eventstamp” can tell when the last state is obtained (for trouble shoot issue 1), but it’s null

I also have Tesla in HomeKit with HomeBridge plugin which works more responsively and reliably. What’s your experience with the OH binding? Do you see similar issues that I described?
Thank you!

Herto · May 4, 2023, 11:08am

The same for me. This will be history once real 3.4.4 will be out.

somy · May 5, 2023, 12:11pm

Also strange that when the car goes to sleep, it stops polling data, even though the car is online for hours after sleep. I’d like to set up some automation based on location of the car, however the location does not change for some reason…

gloeckner_ronny · May 7, 2023, 1:36pm

@Kai - Will there be a OH 3.4.4 release with the fix?
Thanks a lot for fixing it.

Kai · May 7, 2023, 1:46pm

Yes, 3.4.4 will be released tonight.
