Yes, they are all the same settings as for the legacy version.
And it looks like that was the problem. I do not know how, but the MQTT broker password was changed in the legacy SAIC addon settings. Which would explain why it stopped working.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I’m back online:
I’m having problems with the Lock: Lock action for the Doors Lock being unreliable.
I first force a refresh.
Then I have a sensor which provides the time in seconds since the last vehicle state time.
I wait for this to drop below 10 secs.
And then carry out the Lock action.
Sometimes this works sometimes it doesn’t.
Anybody got any suggestions to make this reliable?
Thanks.
I’ve found this in the logs:

Anyone know if it’s possible to add a second car with this integration?
(This might help someone with the same problem.)
Our car had been left stationary for 2 weeks while we were away on holiday.
On return I tried to check the car’s data with this integration and it failed.
I tried all kinds of resets and nothing worked.
So I installed the MG iSmart app on my phone and logged into the car.
Initially it reported some strange errors but eventually settled down.
I then restarted this integration and everything came back to life 
Hey there -
Did you ever resolve this? Having the exact same message here…
So, in 2025, what is the best home assistant card for our MG vehicle ?
