VAG Connect v2.21.1

Home Assistant integration for Audi · VW · Škoda · SEAT · CUPRA · Porsche · VW US/CA.

What's new in this release / Was ist neu in diesem Release

Fixed

• VW EU cars no longer get a false "authentication expired / check your password" (#875). On MEB / ID. cars, the WeConnect login path is blocked by VW's device-attestation wall, so its saved token can't be refreshed. The integration was treating that dead refresh as a login failure and taking the whole entry down — even though the EU Data Act portal login (the one that actually feeds your data) was working fine. It now falls back to a fresh portal login and keeps going, instead of asking you to re-enter a password that was never wrong. A genuinely wrong password is still reported as before.

Thanks
