Delayed navigation data? #19

Hi @clarity-phev, glad to hear that the app has been working well for you. One thing that may be happening is Teslamate uses two methods to scrape API telemetry data: polling and streaming. Streaming is used when your vehicle is in a In your testing scenario, this may have been a factor but seems to not have been the only factor since your Tesla App showed other telemetry information but the location did not update. In this case it does seem likely that the vehicle may have lost GPS signal and was working to reacquire it, but that's just a guess. Unfortunately the process of Tesla acquiring GPS data from the vehicle to provide to the API endpoints is black box and we don't have a way to troubleshoot that. Of course if the Tesla API isn't providing updated telemetry information, Teslamate won't be able to provide accurate information to Tesla-GeoGDO to trigger garage events, and there's not much that can be done about that since it's an issue on Tesla's side. Likewise, if Tesla is providing accurate information via the API but Teslamate isn't using "streaming" mode yet, then Tesla-GeoGDO would suffer the same issue. This can be taken up with the Teslamate developers, but the general consensus from most people (myself included) is the delay in API scraping methods is worth the tradeoff to prevent vampire drain on vehicles. But if you don't care about vampire drain (perhaps because your vehicle is always plugged in), perhaps there's a case to be made to allow an option to increase polling rate or disable polling altogether in Teslamate, and you can submit such a request to the Teslamate devs. Hope this information helps. |

Good Morning...
tesla-geogdo has been working great for me, but I have observed one anomaly which I would like to discuss.
I have my geofences set up so that as I am leaving I can see the garage door close when tesla-geogdo commands it. Occasionally, the door does not close when expected. On these occasions, it seems like I have to drive for maybe a couple of minutes before tesla-geogdo recognizes that I have left, and closes the door.
This morning I was watching this while my wife drove away. As soon as she pulled out of the garage, I observed that both Teslamate and the Tesla App were getting telemetry, EXCEPT for navigation information. I could see the vehicle status, speed, what was playing on the radio, etc., but both maps (Tesla App and TeslaMate) were static showing the vehicle still in the garage.
After around 2 minutes (she was maybe a mile away) the navigation began on both apps, and tesla-geogdo closed the door.
For a while, I was thinking this could be a lag in the vehicle switching from WiFi to Cellular, but Tesla implemented a fix recently, plus, if it was a general lack of connectivity, all of the telemetry would be missing (not just navigation).
The only think I can think of is that the vehicle may take a little while to acquire GPS satellite reception sometimes.
Has anyone else observed this kind of behavior?
