🔄 Backup Mode: Pull Fallback
- When the connection to the Mercedes-Benz data pipeline (WebSocket) is blocked — even after a re-login — the component will now switch to a backup mode, falling back from push to pull operation. (Should happen not that often anymore as other optimisation were done in the background.)
- During backup mode, data is pulled every 3 minutes to maintain updates.
- This fallback mechanism is also applied during restarts of HA or the integration. If the WebSocket is still blocked, the component starts in pull mode.
- Note: In this case, startup may take approximately 30 seconds.
🔁 Automatic Recovery to Push Mode
- Once the blocking by MB ends and the WebSocket connection becomes available again, the component will automatically switch back to push mode — no user interaction required.
🛰️ New Sensor: Data Mode
- A new diagnostic sensor named
data modehas been introduced. It indicates the current data transfer method:push→ Standard mode using the WebSocket connection.pull→ Fallback mode when WebSocket is blocked.
⚠️ Limitations in Pull Mode
Important: When the component is in pull mode, it is not possible to execute actions (e.g., locking/unlocking or sending commands), as these require an active WebSocket connection.
It can take up to 24 hours until these changes are fully effective. Means that 429 errors on day 1 are normal.
