Have you noticed on your implementation of HA if when it polls the car for the information, your car headlights come on for a few seconds?
I have had to disable my implementation of the integration since my car has been illuminating the whole street each time it has been asked for data.

Are you sure it's because of the integration? I also noticed that it turns on the light for a while when loading. I also have HA running.

Hi @Totti1001, the integration was set to a 10min update - just for testing purposes, and every 10mins the headlights came on and lit up the street! So I have disabled it for now until I can find out if this action can be stopped - but I am not sure it can be.

Thanks for the feedback. It's almost the same problem as an active connection from Carscanner Pro. My alarm system always went off when I locked the vehicle. After a vehicle update to R61 (no idea if anything else was updated), even the windows stopped working. I had to close Carscanner, lock the car and wait a few minutes. Then the windows worked again. It's really strange that the HS reacts so strangely to it. I've never had that with any other car.
