Hi Mitch. Wanted to add my e-up and it didn’t work of course since it’s not in the supported vehicles array. However once I removed the check for that from the code it worked fine. I wonder why you have that check in the first place? One could suggest to remove it and then people can deal themselves with unsupported features.
It seems that this integration is keeping the car active and will empty the 12V battery. So it is not recommended to experiment with this without knowing what happens in the back-end.
Hi, maybe not the best place to ask, but I’ll give it a shot. First winter with variable (market-based) eletricity price and would like to minimize consumption outside cheapest hours. Now it seems like if the plug is attached to the car, there is no way to prevent the consumption of electricity when climatization is on? Is this correct or have you found a way? Through a feature of this integration / automation or otherwise?
It seems that setting the charge level below current or trying to stop charging (as it is not specifically charging, just using electricity for climatization) does not work.
I’ve spoken with VW. From what I understand the problem is that We Connect is not available anymore. Its replaced with the other Volkswagen app. Even in the phone app, you cant reach We Connect.
In the log I noticed following message:

Hello, maybe a stupid question:
How do I find out which version of “Volkswagen WeConnect ID” is currently installed into Home Assistant? And how do I perform an update to the lastest version?
Thanks, yes I am indeed located in a nordpool country, Finland in my case, and already using the very nice nordpool integration. And while I already have a solution for charge times through ha, thanks a lot for sharing this HACS component - it was new to me and there’s always room to improve the setup
Also, still interested to hear if anyone has found a solution for the “climatization issue”
The aircon is drawing power from the plug whenever it is plugged in and activated. No chance to change that.
If you want to take full control of your vehicle charging, especially if you have an own PV system, you may want to try out EVCC.
I’ve just set this up and connecting to my VW account worked perfectly, great work.
I’m seeing that some of the sensors don’t work though, do I need to do anything to get them to work?
I was hoping to use the charging cable connected sensor to remind me to plug the car in at night so its ready to charge at the lower rate but it doesnt detect the cable.
It’s also saying my back passenger side window is open, I closed this after installing the integration as I didn’t know it was open till the integration told me. I have refreshed the VW app on my phone multiple times so it syncs with the car and I tried the force data refresh in the integration but it says that is no supported.
It’s getting the correct SoC so its not that its getting no data from the car.
I’m sure I’m missing something, any help would be appreciated.
Did you both update to the latest beta version? I had the same issue but with the latest beta this has been fixed and updates are coming through again.
