How to make default Torque integration work in Home Assistant

a) most email senders don’t remove the plus. technically they could, but they don’t.

b) I don’t really care. I use the + when I feel it’s appropriate. it’s easy and free.

c) there are other uses for it. like if I want multiple accounts with the same service provider. or as in the case of this Torque integration I’d like to have different identifiers that resolve to the same email account.

did anyone set this integration up with a local ip adress, like @ugfus1630 mentioned?
my setup would be that i activate a wireguard VPN when i enter my car and the data should be transmitted to the local ip of homeassistant.

at the moment, i see only “waiting to upload” like @appsgt69, but data is not yet sent to homeassistant. app is setup like in the tutorial at the beginning of this thread.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
my HA is installed on Docker and my ip addres is 192.168.1.250
but I am getting 192.168.1.1

thank you

I see nobody has replied to your question. I have the same request. Did you ever figure it out? I am using Nabu Casa now so it should be easier - you’d think

First of all - thanks for your tutorial. I tried it and it works on my Android (Moto G Stylus) and sent info to HA. I was trying it in the house monitoring sensors from the phone (battery, GPS, etc). My problem is that my phone doesn’t let me connect to the Blutooth dongle in my Hyundai Tucson since it is using Bluetooth to connect to the head unit; also using Android Auto if that is interfering. I would like to leave an old phone in the car and have it record stats and upload them via wifi when I park the car in the garage - it no longer has a sim/data plan. Someone also requested this later in this thread, but no responses. I am using Nabu Casa so the URL is extremely long - copied and pasted. Anybody else use this situation?

I’ve been using his latest proposition with success for months. Torque logs to HA through a Tailscale VPN when I’m connected to my car.

My way to implement it is by having a Tailscale router on my network that forwards traffic to HA.

Thanks. I’m turning 63 next week and don’t have time left :slight_smile: to learn Tailscale - I already used DuckDNS, Wireguard, Cloudflare, and now Nabu Casa. I just don’t have enough free brain cells left I guess - just trying to keep the info I have stored on the ones I have left.

Hi, it doesn’t seem like anyone had this issue before:
I have set up following the tutorial above, and it semi-works.
My problem is that not all sensors are visible, I have even removed all sensors, let it log, added way more sensors than first time and then it showed more sensors but not all and some sensors that were working before don’t exist anymore in home assistant.
I have just enabled debug log, so will see if I can get it solved tomorrow.
If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

I use wireless android auto and my phone connects to the car by Bluetooth and it also connects to the OBD2 as well. Also a Hyundai.
So that’s probably not you issue.
Also I’m 75 so I don’t think it’s your age either.

I’m a very old 63 LOL. That said, I think my mind is maintaining it’s youth way more than my body - NLOL. When it gets cooler and the swamo cooler isn’t straining to keep the garage at 85, I will pursue this again. Thanks for the encouragement

I have it working by using the tutorial - I tested using the Android battery and GPS and unchecking “while connected to OBD only”. I am currently having difficulty connecting to OBD through Bluetooth while Android is connected to car’s head unit and Android Auto - something I need to correct. Also, I would like to have the choice of uploading logs automatically over wifi only when I connect to home wifi after a trip to save data. I think there used to be an option to email them, but it probably wasn’t automatic. Thanks for the input and good luck with your setup.

Sensors are removed after HA restart.

You need open Torque and upload some data

Well into the 80’s I’m no spring chicken myself but I can still find time in between feeding punch cards to get familiar with that new thing they call Object Oriented Programs and figuring the dropdowns in HA. Why they don’t just stick to blinking lightbulbs and vacuum tubes is beyond me.

I followed the steps but I cannot see any OBDII info in the Logbook.

In Torque under Web Upload Status I have the following:
Logging enabled,
0 samples being uploaded,
0 items waiting to upload,
0 items failed to upload,
1122 items sent total

I am VERY new to Home Assistant so I have probably overlooked something. Any guidance wold be appriciated.

Hello friends, I followed the instructions to install the logger and was able to obtain the vehicle data persistently in Home Assistant. However, it only returns some sensors such as tracker, coolant, revs, intake, speed and voltage… Were you able to obtain all the Torque PIDs?

Hi Daniel,
Unfortunately, I have the same problem, if you add more sensors to log from torque then more sensors will be added but not all (for us).
I have tried removing all sensors and adding again, which resulted in me getting other sensors.
This might be a bug and maybe we should try to somehow report it somewhere.
I am using a basic bluetooth elm327 OBD 2 its shell is a blue transparent plastic.
My car is Hyundai Kona EV.

While actively logging are you able to see the entities in “Settings”>“Devices & Services” > “Entities”?
Or even while logging can you try to add the entities to your dashboard?
Be default they start with sensor.vehicle_xyz

Yep I was able to see them here in Settings”>“Devices & Services” > “Entities” and now I am able to add them to the dashboard. Thanks!

I noticed this thread is over 2 years old since it was posted. seeing how many updates Home assistant had since then, is this method still working or have there been breaking changes that rendered it unusable?
