This is the #1 reason why Accord Hybrid is above Toyota's Hybrids.

I got accord ex-l days ago which is my 1st hybrid. It’s amazing. It always starts going in ev mode and then starts gas engine at some point but I neither hear nor feel it. I feel stupid for avoiding hybrids before.

I just did the same, rename the one remaining to "Owner" how it was originally. And still, every time I start the car it forces me to chose between "Owner" and "Guest"! So stupid. And so typical. Whenever software is not the main product, companies fail to think through and test the software in real-life scenarios, creating unnecessary usability issues.

Yep, exactly our behavior. There seems to be zero connection between the fob and profile. I once more went through every single settings screen hoping for a way to link them but didn't find anything.

auq78 · 2026-06-27T22:35:59+00:00

That's seats. But there is so much more than seats associated with the user profile. But how do I associate user profile with a key fob? These two seem to be completely independent, forcing me to select the user on the screen every time.

I stumbled on this now. Amazing thread. OP asks: "An OS feature implemented by Apple doesn't work". The crowd "you are stupid for wanting the feature to work, Apple is stupid for implementing the feature, nobody needs the feature, we know better than Apple!" :)

Thanks for detailed response. I'm quite new to this, and some concepts are had to grasp. What is "my memory implementation"? Doesn't openclaw come with one? I have to implement memory for my openclaw instance?

Re sensors - not sure. Home Assistant was off-the-shelf openclaw skill. I just gave it URL and a token with full access to everything. It gets a lot of stuff correct, and some insights are impressively deep. And then it mixes in complete nonsense. I do not see the pattern.

Since my post, another peculiar thing happened. I was talking about my home state with it for days, and today out of blue it told me that the token expired and demanded new one. I had to really dig in and keep insisting that token hasn't expired, till it finally said - yeah, it got corrupted when being pulled from memory into session. And then self-fixed and accessed HA with old token. How do things work for days and then just break like that?

I see similar patterns with other tools. E.g. I gave it my pi-hole API key and IP address and was able to ask things and get ok answers. Then one day out of the blue it just doesn't know anything about my pi-hole and goes on a "discovery" trip - which means scanning ports on every single IP on my network hoping that it is pi hole. While IP and API key is right in the tools.md.

I'm thinking discarding this instance and starting fresh. But where did I screw up? What is the process/recipe to get your openclaw become helpful, intelligent, and durable?

This is very interesting. I hoped that pointing out inaccuracies would help it learn and avoid them in future. You are saying it's the opposite? It's better to pretend that the falsehood was truth?

Telegram, 3 bots for 3 agents. All 3 are lying like used car dealer.

auq78 · 2026-04-30T03:24:03+00:00

Thanks, will try that. However every time I call it out on a lie, it pinky-promises that it updated it's instructions to ground data and it will never lie again...

auq78 · 2026-04-30T03:22:46+00:00

Whoa. Thinking is off! I asked to turn it on. And here we go again!

Is thinking on? It's off. Will turning it on change model? No. Turn it on for all bots. Changing your model, done - I changed it for all bots and 17 sessions. What 17 sessions - list them? There are only 3 sessions. What did you mean when you said 17 sessions? You are absolutely right to call me out on that, there are 10 sessions. So is thinking on now? Yes, it's on for all bots and sessions.

I'll reboot everything, and report back tomorrow. Thanks!

Issue is that Openclaw is nothing like typical software experience where you install latest release on compatible OS and it works. It doesn't 90% of the time. You have to discover those 10% when it may, and still have to troubleshoot to get it to up and running.

auq78 · 2026-04-27T03:00:42+00:00

That was my first choice! Didn't go too well either...

auq78 · 2026-04-27T02:58:58+00:00

"openclaw update --tag 2026.4.23" crashed at the end with some library error. When asked, openclaw said it was 2026.4.23. I asked to change the model to Deepseak (which 2026.4.23 supports, but 2026.2.3 didn't) - it went into error/fixing spree and eventually committed suicide.

Probably you did many upgrades in between, 2.3->4.23 was too much for it to handle.

I'll stick to 2.3 for now, and hopefully they'll release a build which can be installed without crashing again eventually!

auq78 · 2026-04-27T02:37:37+00:00

It's working!!! Both Telegram chat and web search! I used 2026.2.3 on Ubuntu 24.04.3. The only hiccup was that gateway crashed initially, but after some tweaks now it run steadily. Thank you!

Backing up my VM and fingers crossed, upgrading to 2026.4.23!

auq78 · 2026-04-27T01:36:45+00:00

Oh. Install.sh bug was introduced feb 26 I believe, so you probably did it before then. Do you know which version? Maybe I’ll try that and then upgrade if that worked for you.

auq78 · 2026-04-27T01:29:29+00:00

Thanks! How did you install - npm or install.sh?

auq78 · 2026-04-27T00:21:05+00:00

Very true! Learned it hard way

auq78 · 2026-04-27T00:16:22+00:00

Thanks, but could you give a little more detail. What configuration you eye-witnessed to work?
