Navigation error on Home Assistant for Android Auto

[SanchoMax]

I am using android auto 9.2.631214 for my 2020 Ram truck. I have the home assistant icon and when I select it I have options like scenes, lights, switches, and a few others. They all seem to work and I can control my lights and such from my truck. The last option is Navigation. When I click it it pauses for a few seconds and then has an error saying Android Auto isn't responding. On my home assistant I have 2 people and 2 phone trackers. I have quite a few zones on the map, probably around 150 to 200. Here is part of the errors that show up in my logs on the companion app on my phone (Galaxy 21):

04-17 21:22:06.092 18930 18962 D LogcatReader: Done reading logcat for pid 18930
04-17 21:22:09.310 18930 18930 I MainVehicleScreen: Navigation clicked

04-17 21:22:09.355 18930 18930 E CarApp.Dispatch: Host unresponsive when dispatching call getTemplate onSuccess

There is much more to it, but didn't want to post it all to save space. I was sent here by dshokouhi in the home assistant forums. Hope I am in the right place :)

Any troubleshooting appreciated. If any other info is needed, please let me know.

Updated to 2023.4.5 on companion app. Will check if any difference on the way home.

Update: No change

[SanchoMax]

Updated to companion app operating system 10.1, same issue

Brian

[SanchoMax]

Updated to companion app version 2023.5.4 and still get the same errors. Anyone else able to get this working in a ram truck or is it because I have so many zones on the map?

Brian

[dshokouhi]

@SanchoMax can you please get us some more logs around this issue? I am not sure if there is anything else but there might be something helpful. Be mindful to mask GPS coordinates and your URL if sharing the log file.

[dshokouhi]

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If it is we need more logs please.

[SanchoMax]

Yes there is still an issue. I can not seem to find the logs like before. When it first happened i cleared my logs, started Home Assistant on my android auto in my truck, and then looked at the logs to see the errors. I seemed to have misplace the proper logs. I went to Settings, System, Logs. Then there is Assistant, Supervisor, etc. Could you please direct me to the proper place in the logs to look.

@SanchoMax I can reproduce the crash now. Had a chat with @jpelgrom and we noticed theres a hard limit set which seems to be vehicle specific. In an emulator its set to 100. Will need to add some logic to account for this. Unfortunately this means we will not be able to show all your zones in a list.

we will not be able to show all your zones in a list

(you should add navigation targets in favorites in a future PR)

Could you please direct me to the proper place in the logs to look.

So what is the limit of a Ram truck? Is there a listing somewhere of all vehicles? If I get to the limit of, say 100, will it be the closest 100 to me, or alphabetical, or how does it decide?

So what is the limit of a Ram truck?

We won't know until the PR is merged and we look at the Companion App logs as I am printing that data too.

Is there a listing somewhere of all vehicles?

its set by the vehicle so unless someone has curated a list I dont think one exists

If I get to the limit of, say 100, will it be the closest 100 to me, or alphabetical, or how does it decide?

alphabetical by entity ID for all navigable entities

More than likely after the favorites PR is merged there will need to be a follow up PR to add navigation entities as the current PR is designed for toggleable entities. From there though you still need to keep in mind favorites will be imposed by the same limit

TY so much for the replies
