VW Group Connect v4.7.0b16

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

Škoda official API — a manual fallback when auto-setup can't create a key. The integration
still sets up your official API key automatically whenever it can. When it can't — for example
the key service rejects the request, or you're signed in without the native app login — it now
shows a repair that lets you create a key in the MyŠkoda app and paste it in for the vehicle,
instead of silently doing nothing.
The EU Data Act portal now accepts an updated terms-and-conditions step for you. After you
sign in, VW can show a "please accept the updated terms" page — the same kind of interstitial as
the data-consent page we already accept. It's now accepted automatically so the login completes,
instead of stopping and asking you to do it in a browser. If it ever can't, the existing repair
still appears.
A "data is stale" sensor you can build automations on. A new diagnostic binary sensor turns
on when your car's own data-capture time has been frozen for too long (a lapsed portal feed can
keep serving days-old values as if they were live). The information was already there via the
portal-health sensor; this makes it a simple on/off you can alert on. Hidden for cars that don't
report a capture time.
A dashboard-warning field some VWs report is now read. A VW variant of the instrument-cluster
active-warnings field was going unmapped; it now feeds the existing (disabled-by-default)
raw-dashboard-warnings diagnostic (#1358).

The portal login check no longer false-flags a valid session. The b15 anonymous-session
check compared cookie domains by plain substring, which missed a real session cookie scoped
to the parent domain and could then mark an authenticated login as anonymous. It now matches
host and parent domains correctly.
A leftover "connectivity" entity no longer lingers as unavailable. When an account's set of
read channels changed across versions, an old per-source connectivity sensor could stay in the
entity registry forever as unavailable/unknown. It's now cleaned up automatically once the
current channels are known. Thanks @cyrano330 (#1340).
We stop hammering VW's portal during a portal-side outage. When the EU Data Act portal is
returning server errors for a while, the poll now backs off (5 → 15 → 30 min) instead of retrying
every minute, and returns to normal cadence the moment data flows again.
A brief download hiccup no longer wastes a whole poll. If downloading the newest portal
dataset hits a transient error, the integration now falls back to the next-older delivered
dataset instead of skipping the poll — so you get data when the portal has any to give.

Log redaction hardening. An internal review pass tightened how the integration writes URLs
and errors to debug logs across all channels, so a debug log you paste into an issue stays clean.
