Very bizarre. The issue was hard to track down. Seems to be strange behaviour in SSL connections with faults, where the SSL error comes in, the connection is torn down, but then a welcome message arrives for the login (after the disconnection). If the welcome login succeeds, then the vehicle App connection is associated with the FD# and causes the issue later on.

So, the server code sees a login message after the connection was disconnected 😱

At that stage, the fd #253 is tagged with an App connection, and never cleared (because the CarDisconnect was before the CarConnect).

Later on, that fd# can get data from the original app/car with connection issues. The source of bad data seems to be almost always the DEMO car.

Workaround is to add connection checks to the io_line and io_welcome routines, to simply return (discard) if the connection is not marked as up.

Will load this live on api.openvehicles.com now, and monitor for a few days. We now have logging for these mismatched connections (and code to avoid sending out the data in that case), so it should be easy to see if this solves the problem.

Steve,

I wasn’t aware of this issue, but will look into it. I can’t immediately see the cause, but it should be relatively easy to add a clean-up of the channel structures when the connection starts.

I haven’t restarted the api.openvehicles.com server recently.

Regards, Mark.

That sounds plausible.  Since the problem ceased, I wonder if that
implies that the server was restarted.  I'm using Mark's server.

I'm running 3.2.012.  This morning when I went to check the status
after charging overnight, which had completed, the iPhone app was
behaving in a very strange manner.  I cycled a few times (for as long
as I watched) through three states at an interval on the order of
10-20 seconds:

1. 86%, ideal range 191, no charge connector icon.  Those range and
SOC numbers were correct, but the charge cable was connected.

2. 95%, ideal range 177, charge connector icon shown.

3. 48%, don't recall the range, no charge connector icon.

When I checked the Car screen, it too was cycling among showing no
numbers, showing old gray numbers, and showing some numbers in white.
I don't recall their accuracy.

Now after I finished my morning walk the display appears stable and
correct with 86%, ideal range 190, and charge connector icon shown.
The Car screen shows just old numbers in gray except for the aux
battery voltage.  Sorry I didn't have the presence of mind to grab
screenshots.
