Audi Connect and Charging Target

Third party integrations
1

Does anyone use HA automation to completely control the charging of their Audi EV?

I use the Audi Connect third party integration but it doesn’t expose setting of the car target charging level. I’m thinking of trying to get around this by:

  1. setting the charging level in the car to 100%
  2. creating a setting for desired charge level
  3. using automation to:
    a) start the car charging when the unit price of electricty goes below a certain level (Octopus Agile tariff) by setting the Zappi charging mode to Fast - I already have this set up and working well
    b) stop the car charging when it reaches the desired charge level by setting the Zappi charging mode back to Eco+

Has anyone tried this?

Hi,

Have you seen the documentation ? → GitHub - arjenvrh/audi_connect_ha: Adds an audi connect integration to home assistant

You option 3 can be done by the audiconnect.execute_vehicle_action

Option 1 and 2 are not possible with the current integration. The current integration is not maintained anymore :face_with_thermometer:
I would like this feature as well

As an ‘old’ visual basic programmer I want to learn Python for over a year now, but can’t find the time/motivation. I would like to take over the Audi Connect Project, but as a Python beginner this will not be easy.

Ah, thank you. I did read the docs but missed that. I have to set the charger mode anyway from Eco+ to Fast in order for it to use AC power so will leave step 3 as is. Will try steps 1 and 2 and see how it goes.

I just came across this thread now - because I would be interested in one thing (and only in that :-). )

  • I would like to get the kWh charged …
    I can go 3rd part Apps but I want to integrate that value in the electricity consumption views I have.

My wall box doesn’t have an app, so I dont know through the wallbox what has been delivered…
But the car knows… as eg Aps like Tronity prove…

is this possible?

thanks!
