Tapping into the brain trust for your collective wisdom to see if I'm doing something dumb or if I'm facing valid bugs with Phone as a Key. To start off, just gotta say that I've largely been loving the PaaK functionality (or at least the concept). Helps to not have to carry around another bulky fob. I definitely had some issues the first week with it not recognizing my phone as I came near it, but I've noticed that it's been getting better over the last month in terms of responsiveness / recognizing me approach the car.
That being said, curious if anyone else is running into some of the more edge case issues I've been facing recently which have been super annoying. As some background, my wife and I have PaaK set up on each of our Android phones. Usually on the weekends we're in the same car together with our newborn.
Issue 1: The car seems to reliably know who's in the driver seat, but the issue arises when I have to run in to the store while the wife is hanging out with the baby in the car. Since she has PaaK, I would have thought that the car would notice that and stay unlocked even though I'm leaving. However, that doesn't seem like that's been the case as it'll typically lock and then the car alarm motion sensor will trigger (even if I explicitly tell it not to when turning the car off) as she's still inside with the baby. Super annoying and the baby has not been pleased ?. Just wondering if anyone else experiences this regularly and has found a solution, or if it's just us? I suspect the MME somehow just recognizes that the primary PaaK has stepped away and triggers the lock and doesn't look for secondary PaaK in proximity...
Issue 2: Been noticing a weird issue recently where I'll head to the car while it's parked in the garage and my wife is in the doorway to the house. I can press the unlock button on the car and it opens the door, but then the car alarm immediately goes off! So weird as my phone is usually in my pocket when this happens, and it takes some button mashing to get PaaK to be recognized to stop the alarm. I was suspecting that somehow it may be seeing my wife's PaaK rather than mine in those scenarios, but still doesn't explain why it would allow the MME to unlock the door yet still set the alarm off. Guessing there's some race condition coming into play here?
