Trying to understand the docs

[DreamT80]

Hi,
I've successfullt installed the Python MQTT gateway, and can read values from the car.

However, I also want to run some commands. First of all, i'd like to run get the vehicle status, since I want to force a refresh of the (the soc hasn't been updated in several hours, but it should since I'm charging). I understand how MQTT works, but I don't know which command to publish to achieve what I want. I've tried to read the documentation here , but I don't understand it.
Can anybody get me on the right track, using Vehicle Status as an example?

To refresh your values simply publish a new message to the right topic:

saic/xxxxx@gmail.com/vehicles/LSJExxxxxxxxx/refresh/mode/set

Message: force

After that the gateway will wake your car and refresh your values. There are many ways to do this, which system do you use?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I figured it out the day after i opened the issue, I should've told it here but I forgot.
I used saic-python-mqtt-gateway up until today, when I started to use saic-home-assistant-addon instead. Really neat to have it as an addon in HA, and it looks promising. Keep up the good work!

Let me know if I can help with testing! I don't have much time, but can help when there's time to spare.
