VW Group Connect v5.1.2

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

What changed / Was hat sich geändert

Fixed

• A readiness reading that never arrived was reported as the car being offline — #1921 #1851 #923 · thanks @Mex-ai11
• The "vehicle data hasn't refreshed" card now uses the name you gave the car — #1896 · thanks @starwarsfan
• The service calendar showed nothing, on every brand, since it was built — #1923 #1925 · thanks @nijaobscvra666
• The "data outdated" indicator never re-decided its verdict once a snapshot was republished — #1917 #1920 #1851 · thanks @tdrieshof, @Mex-ai11
• A repair card could still be carrying your full VIN, and the fix that was supposed to clear it never ran — #1768
• A VW outage was reported as your data request being missing — and that advice made people delete working requests — #1932 #1933 #1915 · thanks @RaAdNe, @mathiasolofsson87, @nijaobscvra666, @scoma24
• A refusal the integration had already explained was still logged as "cause unknown", one line above the explanation — #584 · thanks @panther7
• A sign-in that could not possibly work was paying for itself out of an hourly budget, and the retries that mattered were then refused — #1918 · thanks @georghaberkorn68-ctrl
• SEAT and CUPRA could not sign in to the EU Data Act portal from 26 October, and the dialog told everyone their password was wrong — #1947 #1951 #1953 · thanks @revilo-1970, @georghaberkorn68-ctrl, @burratha, @Daftsios, @wilpatat, @nijaobscvra666, @peepprr, @Ryccou, @Jerjolmic, @lichti4, @tomasroud73, @RichardPitt
• A recovery mechanism that never once ran has been removed, and the gap it was supposed to cover is now written down instead of pretended away — #1918

📖 The full account of all 10 changes is in the changelog: CHANGELOG.md → v5.1.2

Each line above is one paragraph there: what broke, how it was measured, and what was deliberately left alone. Written out in full on purpose — for anyone debugging the same thing, and so a summary of this release can be made from the reasoning rather than from the headline.
