HTTPError 408 Timeout

I'm new to Tesla and, naturally, new to this plugin-- I have it updating the status every 30 minutes. It worked for several hours, then I began getting this set of error messages. From what I can tell, the error messages started after the car was finished charging and possibly went to sleep. (that's only a guess). I see there's a Wake command, if I want to use it. OR Just wait until the car wakes up when I drive it then the updates will continue.

So, my question: Is this set of messages normal when requesting an update from a sleeping car? Thanks for a cool plugin!

Hi.

Sorry I missed this post.

Is it still doing it?

That error suggests maybe Tesla's website was offline / your internet was down for a short period, rather than any issue with the car itself.

This appears to be an intermittent issue— sometime it updates, sometimes it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t, it gives that set of error messages. I’ll try the web site the next time the update fails and we will see if the site has problems.

I get the following error on every command:

I've merged @cjp767 and @johnofcamas posts into a new thread as they're the same error, even though one is sending a command one is requesting a state.

In v1.0.10 i've handled the error and now log what it was doing at the time.

It won't stop it happening, but tells me more what's going on.

Can you post logs here from the new version, with how often it happens, and how often you have a status check scheduled (if you do)?

I've had Gusten's Tesla running on my Indigo for months without a timeout error.

It looks like it's always http 408 for a second car

Model S works fine
Model X - always an error.

Actually, I tried to delete a second car and to add it back - because of Model X stopped to work in all scenarios with some latest plugin update

Always the same error. Looks like a handling logic?

There is obviously an issue with handling logic there, yes, but it still doesn’t help the HTTP 408 timeout.

Looks like 408 is an error not from the server side.

Manual requests using other libraries ( https://github.com/hjespers/teslams ) works fine for both cars.

Looks like 408 is an error not from the server side.

408 is a communication timeout error, not one I've written, not one Tesla has written. If communication times out because either party doesn't respond quick enough, the process will timeout.

I know several folk are seeing this error, but as I stated above:

I've had Gusten's Tesla running on my Indigo for months without a timeout error.

So it's not just a "howartp needs to fix his code because it's obviously wrong".

I do have two theories:

One is based on location. Which users are in UK, or in USA, or in Europe? Do Tesla have different entry points for the API depending on location?

The second is there is a file containing a token that supposedly expires regularly and needs refreshing. (Not the user token or 90 day token). However that token has been hard-coded in the plugin since I took it over (updated AT the time I took it over) and has never expired in that time. If it had completely expired, then I'd expect all users to immediately stop working and throwing all sorts of errors - not SOME users getting timeout errors, and OTHER users working perfectly fine.

I'm intending refreshing several of my plugins over the next fortnight whilst i'm on vacation - i mean who doesn't take two sets of laptops with separate monitors, keyboards, mice, a suitcase full of electronics inc X10 radio alarm clock and several X10 plugin appliance modules, and who knows what else with them on holiday - and will be looking at the code for the Tesla token refresh to hopefully make it read it dynamically.

Peter

Please can folk try v1.0.13

https://github.com/howartp84/TeslaControlBETA/releases/tag/1.0.13

This is now using the latest API tokens - until now i've been using Greg Glockner's (original plugin author) latest API token, but I didn't realise he had a private link versus the one everyone else uses, so when he stopped updating the plugin, the token stopped updating as well.

Also adds more error handling and debugging.

Peter

Hi

Just noticed the update

Tried to upgrade, everything stopped to work (a lot of http 408)

Deleted both cars and re-added them - seems to work now, will test for a few days.

Thank you for the support!

May be to increase timeouts?

Unfortunately @gusta who's login details i've been using for over 12 months has currently disabled mobile access to his Tesla, possibly for whilst in for maintainance. Was live until 16th September.

I've switched to @Brian's details which are still live (and PM'd him accordingly) so will keep an eye on the plugin, but I've still seen zero timeout issues with Gusta's in the log for months.

Right, good news on the 408 Timeout.

@Brian’s car has been reliably throwing 408 errors for the last two days, which has allowed me to test against it.

I’ve discovered by using a different module (requests instead of urllib2) that when it throws 408, it also sends message “vehicle unavailable”, or in other words, “vehicle is asleep”.

So by sending wake_up to the car, it then stops throwing 408’s and starts giving data we expect.

I’m going to rewrite the plugin to use requests instead of urllib2, then I can properly handle the vehicle_unavailable error and automatically send wake_up.

It’ll be a couple of days at least as I’m not around tomorrow.
