Troubleshooting

Product status is never online​

The product endpoint keeps returning a product with status !== "online", so state-change calls have nothing to act on.

  • Confirm the product's Gateway is added to the same lot as the product (see Device Registration).
  • Confirm the Gateway itself is online — check for a gateway_status event, or its LED state per the Gateway manual.
  • Try operating the product manually from the Parklio Connect App — if it doesn't respond there either, this is a hardware/Bluetooth range issue, not an API issue.

Gateway won't pair​

  • Gateways only accept pairing for a short window after a short press of the power button (LEDs blinking). If the window has passed, press again and retry immediately in the Connect App.
  • Make sure the gateway has network connectivity (Ethernet link or GSM signal) before pairing — a gateway with no uplink can pair locally but won't be able to relay commands to/from the API.

The state-change call returns an error​

POST /v2/products/{id}/state checks a few things before it sends anything to the device. These errors come back straight away:

CodeHTTP statusWhat it meansWhat to do
214403An earlier operation on this device hasn't finished.Wait for the earlier operation's lot_change or gateway_error, then send the next one. Don't retry in a loop.
704403No Gateway has seen the device recently, so there's no way to reach it.Check that a Gateway on the same lot is online and in range of the product (see above).
30403Your subscription doesn't include remote control for this product.Check the product's API subscription; see Account Setup.

A state-change call never resolves​

You called POST /v2/products/{id}/state, got back an event_id, but never see a matching lot_change event on your WebSocket connection.

How delivery works: the API tries the Gateways that recently saw the device one at a time, strongest signal first, waiting up to 30 seconds for each. So a result can take 30 seconds or more per Gateway on the lot. When every Gateway fails, or the device reports an error, you get a gateway_error with your event_id; a type of "Timeout" means no Gateway answered in time.

  • Make sure you're connected to the WebSocket before issuing the state-change call, using the same account/token; see Connecting.
  • Check for a gateway_error event instead. It reports the same event_id when the operation fails (for example, a barrier jamming while closing) rather than succeeding.
  • If neither event ever arrives, the Gateway may have lost connectivity mid-operation; check gateway status as above.

Still stuck?​

Contact Support with your account ID, the product/gateway IDs involved, and roughly when the issue occurred.
