Air staying connected to WiFi and apparently never sleeping

[Tim-in-CA]

I noticed a few FW updates ago that my Air would stay connected to WiFi and apparently not sleep. In looking at my Eero, I can see that the vehicle is connected to 5Ghz whenever I check the Eero app. I also have an Eero node in the garage about 3 feet from the vehicle. Previously, if I woke the vehicle from the Lucid App and once the vehicle slept, I would see it disconnect from Wifi pretty quickly. I also have a PiHole and can see that the vehicle is making constant queries to connectivitycheck.gstatic.com and mqtt-logs.data.lucidmotors.com from 4AM until Midnight totaling over 20K queries. The TX/RX data is also pretty low during any given 24 hr period if I haven't driving the vehicle, approx 14MB/36MB respectively. Between Midnight and 4, the vehicle appears to not reach out to the internet and I am interpreting that it is sleeping but haven't been awake at that time to confirm. During the day, I don't notice any noise coming from the vehicle which is similar to when I wake it from the app but keep it locked. Fob is in a faraday pouch and BT access to the Lucid app is denied on my iPhone/iPad. My Vampire Drain isn't too severe, but I do see a loss of several miles of range a day without driving the vehicle.

I mentioned this to the mobile technician that came over today to address the A-pillar speaker issue, but this was above his knowledge. He recommended that I use the left blinker and lock method to force the vehicle to sleep, but this didn't resolve the issue, I also performed a X + Mic reboot yesterday to no avail. In addition, I disabled the iOS widgets on my iPad and iPhone (both at iOS 18.1) and forced closed the Lucid apps. I'm not running the @borski Home Assistant integration (but do want to set that up once I get another RPi).

Has anyone else see this issue? It would probably require a tool (like my PiHole) and also require the vehicle to be on your home's Wifi to notice. It's been bugging me and wanted to see if this is an issue that should warrant further investigation by Lucid Service. Thanks.

If you do install Home Assistant, you’ll be able to track when it changes state.

(Red is the “Accessory” power state in case you’re curious)

Thanks. I first want to figure out why I am seeing the vehicle constantly pinging the above two sites. Are you seeing this on your side? It’s very repetitive on my side and have been seeing this behavior since the past few updates.

Oh, it definitely hits both those domains. I haven't bothered to worry about, because my car definitely falls asleep.

Thanks. So to confirm, when your vehicle is reporting sleeping, you are not seeing any connectivity to your Wi-Fi network nor any activity to the above domains? I just want to confirm that this is something that is currently unique to my vehicle before I report to customer care. In checking my pihole activity, the vehicle actually never disconnected from Wi-Fi over the past 24 hours, and has made 60,000 request to those domains. To me, something is definitely going wrong.

My car has been asleep for 8h47m29s as I type this (since 10:16PM last night), and this is its wifi connection history:

Keep in mind it is plugged in to charge, like it is most nights. In terms of what it’s hitting, it’s a lot of this:


So this doesn’t seem too abnormal to me.

Thanks. Appreciate the response. Your vehicle also appears to stay connected for long periods of time, but one difference is that your vehicle is plugged in while mine is not. I’m assuming the large data upload was after a drive, I see this as well. But when not driven , I get a constant trickle of data in RX/TX directions. I’m going to monitor mine for the next few days to see how much Vampire drain I am seeing, I don’t expect to drive the vehicle during that time.
