Hi @akamming,
Thanks for modifying your existing Volvo Recharge Plugin, authorize.py.
I can confirm, that it generates functional access and refresh tokens.
I used these successfully in my Node-RED application.
All endpoints can be fetched, as far as they are supported by the car.
I monitored also the Volvo back-end and made a condition, that, if the back-end fails, the polling
of the endpoints stops. This morning at approx 11:20 the polling stopped.
This has worked for a very long time, I think at least 2 years.
It wasn' caused by the tokens, but it indicated:
I have no clue, what it means for the users, but as far as I can see, it will have only impact on those applications, that have been published in the Volvo Developer Portal. So users, that uses this application (and also other applications) can continue to do so. It means that Volvo is still working at their log-in and authentication procedures. What to expect more in the future.
For now, I see only one applications, marked as " inactive" 3 other are still there, but they are not published..
This is just for information.
Regards,
P.S. I will send you a PM
