Hope this will be solved. Can not see that the functionality with disabling the native mode when not in park, is any different from for example the Spotify-app, with regard to safety. I.e in Spotify, when trying to open settings while driving, a popup tells you that this is prohibited. The only difference I could see is that it looks like the popup in other AAOS-apps, are built in AAOS-functions while the function in HA seams to be built in to the HA-software. If this is correct, maybe Google is more assured its own built-in safety functions?
Was really looking forward to getting all sensors from the car (car-sensors, SoC%, etc.). Polestar does not have an open API.
@dshokouhi thanks for that. When you say the server end, do you mean itās an issue with my Home Assistant server? My assumption (which could be completely wrong) is that if Iām having no trouble connecting from my other companion app installs, I shouldnāt have any additional config steps for the car install.
Are you using a proxy or custom DNS? Itās actually an error you need to solve on the network end. Might be due to how Android automotive handles things differently than Android. The error the app is getting is
If you are using anything custom try to bypass it and connect directly to rule things out using process of elimination.
No, no proxy or custom DNS, Iām wondering if itās possible that this is a regional issue and network permissions from the car. Not directly relevant perhaps but Iām in Australia and the Volvo API is not supported in the APAC region or the US.
Is there any update to get them to work on AAOS? because I got only the GPS location, but the battery status and range are not visible or bypass that google limitation?
I installed the AAOS companion app in my Volvo XC40. On the home screen of the app I can select the category of the entities to display. This works well for 7 out of the 9 categories, but not for the categories Buttons and Switches. For these I get the message Home Assistant does not respond even after multiple times pressing Wait. It might have to do with the number of entities in these categories (60+).
It would be nice if I had the possibility to just show a selection of the entities on the home screen. I have nearly a thousand entities in my home assistant installation. and only 10 or so are relevant in the car: gate opener, some lights, perhaps a thermostat setting.
this should be fixed now in the latest release, if not please file an issue on github so we can get it corrected.
As of now we still have not heard back from Google if we can re-enable the settings button in the play store build. Now that Labels are part of HA core maybe a good time to consider it as an alternative in the interface That would at least give a curated list of entities instead of digging through the domains.
Any word on the settings button? Currently, HA is not really useful if you need to scroll through hundreds of devices to find the one youāre looking for.
What did you mean by your āLabelsā comment? Is there currently a way to filter by Labels in Android Automotive or is that a wish-list item?
I have the Companion app installed on my polestar 2, and wanted to show a notification on my Polestar 2 dashboard when a certain condition is triggered, but i cannot get the app to display a notification.
That would at least give a curated list of entities instead of digging through the domains.
these things tend to be left forgotten
