Description

Every time I update HA, my Powerwall gateway gets locked out and I can not even log into the local IP for it in the web browser. I resolve the issue by changing which mesh router the gateway connects to or basically saying I have to reboot the networking so that the gateway attempts IP appears again.

I understand this might be a localized issue. Still, it always happens after an HA reboot as If HA does an API flood to the gateway with incorrect credentials because what I imagine is the token is not being sent until HA is fully up.

Next time I upgrade, I am going to disable the integration to test my theory.

Otherwise, any tips on how to solve this. There isn't per say an error, other than it can not reach the API of the gateway which is true because its locked out.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate whether the integration floods the Powerwall Gateway API with incorrect credentials during HA startup, and ensure tokens are only sent after Home Assistant is fully initialized.
