Press the 'Force Data Update' button. Currently there is no polling, you have to press it manually or get an automation to do it

[twanjaarsveld]

Pressing "Force Data Update" did indeed work for most entities to give me a state.

[iainbullock]

Thanks for the update. Which entities are still not getitng a state?

[twanjaarsveld]

Mostly the Window and tire entities

[iainbullock]

If you don't mind perhaps you can provide your docker logs from the time after you press the button? It will help me what the problem is which might affect other users

docker logs -t tesla_ble_mqtt

[twanjaarsveld]

i installed it as Add on in Home Assitant,
What button do you want me to press?

[iainbullock]

Ah sorry I thought you were using the docker version

@raphmur do you have all entities being reported on your setup?

[twanjaarsveld]

Here is the log just after i press "Force Data Update"

[raphmur]

@iainbullock all sensors are updated for me.

Be aware, it takes few seconds to complete and they come one by one progressively (the calls are different for battery/tire/windows/...)

@twanjaarsveld maybe wait a little (20sec after force update, if your car is already awake) then post log again

[twanjaarsveld]

i've waited for more than 20seconds but still the same result

[raphmur]

Strange, it works for me.

@iainbullock , for some reason it stops at Steering wheel heater. Maybe the car is not equiped?

@twanjaarsveld What model have you got? Do you have heated steering?

[twanjaarsveld]

i have a 2019 model 3, it still has a leather steering wheel so its not heated

[iainbullock]

Ok thanks that helps understanding the issue. I will look to fix it tomorrow!

[iainbullock]

At the moment if any of the individual states in a given section fails, then the rest of the section doesn't continue, and further sections are not even processed at all.

I hadn't considered that some vehicles have different features (they obviously do of course as this Issue highlights).

I think I will change this so it carries processing all states even if one fails, and just throw up a warning in the log.

There is also a request to be able to update state section individually which will improve performance for some people

I will try to include in the next major release assuming you can wait!

[twanjaarsveld]

I can definitely wait, I'm already happy with it as is
