Nissan Leaf Component(s)/Platform

pf4eva · September 20, 2020, 11:06am

Hi guys,

I’m having few issues.

Can’t make a charge button working. Here is the code:
type: button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: nissan_leaf.start_charge
data:
vin: SJNFAAZE0*********
hold_action:
action: none
show_state: true
name: START_CHARGE
show_icon: true

It is returning “Failed to call service nissan_leaf/start_charge. required key not provided @ data[‘vin’]” on trigger.

Another thing - can’t get this part of configuration to work:
update_interval:
hours: 1
update_interval_charging:
minutes: 15
update_interval_climate:
minutes: 5
force_miles: true

System not parsing it:
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block mapping
in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 3, column 1
expected , but found ‘’
in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 18, column 3

Without this part everything seems to work just fine. What am I missing here?

Firstly, is your leaf pre 2018?

I’m not sure about the first part, but here is mine, it triggers at 7am so I know it’s ok for going to work. Try putting the vin in single quotes.

- action:
  - service: nissan_leaf.update
    data:
      vin: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX'             # replace
  alias: Update Leaf
  id: '1545654345487'
  trigger:
  - at: '7:00:00'
    platform: time

As for the second part, it looks fine but try changing the hours: 1 to minutes: 60 see if that makes a difference.

Thanks, will try it out, yes Leaf is 2014.
I have another issue status is no longer updating at all, the only way to get it updated is to restart HA. I think this component is no longer functional.

Sometimes getting this:
return CarwingsLatestBatteryStatusResponse(response)
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pycarwings2/responses.py”, line 627, in init
bs = recs[“BatteryStatus”]
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

But most of the time it is just not updating.

And now it stopped working completely:
2020-09-25 11:31:58 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] You are using a custom integration for hacs which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant.

Take a look at this post, it seems that HA doesn’t get the info every time, first time. The post describes how to add a second ‘poll’ for data, I’ve been using it for about a year and I have NO issues.

Thank you very much!
I’m new to HA (currently migrating from Domoticz), so just starting to understanding how things working.

I’m strugling with this part:

platform: template
sensors:
leaf_updating:
friendly_name: ‘Leaf Update Status’
value_template: “{{ state_attr(‘sensor.CHANGEME_charge’, ‘update_in_progress’) }}”

Where exactly do I put it? And sensor.CHANGEME_charge should be changed to, I’m a bit confused.

RoadkillUK · September 26, 2020, 9:49am

It should be in the sensor.yaml file I think, and the CHANGEME should be whatever your vehicle sensor is called.

Hope that helps.

Also if you are posting code, please use the 3 backticks method. Section 11

And now it stopped working completely:
2020-09-25 11:31:58 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] You are using a custom integration for hacs which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant.

This is a standard response, it actually means it’s working.

pf4eva · September 30, 2020, 9:59am

Looks like HA update broke something:

Not working any more at all, not sure what’s the issue, looks like I have to re-install home assistant again from scratch…

Troon · November 10, 2020, 8:31am

Having failed with any of the above, I’ve now got a very basic setup working for my 2020 UK LEAF:

This is done with a script using Tobias Kjeldsen’s dartnissanconnect Dart library (the basis for the MyLeaf phone app) sending info over MQTT from a Docker container, then mqtt sensors in HA to pick up the data. Works for me, not yet suitable for sharing but I’ll put an update up when I have something a bit less clunky and heavyweight — this is my first time using both Dart and Docker!

Ideal future state is to hack my Pod Point with an ESP device to be able to start and stop charge, and then do things like control charge to a set percentage (80/90/100% as needed) aligned to the cheapest times on my Octopus Agile tariff without having to set the car charge timers.

I take it this is down again, if so at least I’ll know its not me ? I tried setting this up tonight but keep getting the following error:

2020-11-11 20:55:44 DEBUG (SyncWorker_10) [homeassistant.components.nissan_leaf] Logging into You+Nissan…

2020-11-11 20:55:48 ERROR (SyncWorker_10) [homeassistant.components.nissan_leaf] An unknown error occurred while connecting to Nissan: <class ‘pycarwings2.pycarwings2.CarwingsError’>

My config is like this which I think is correct?

nissan_leaf:
  username: !secret nissan_leaf_username
  password: !secret nissan_leaf_password
  region: "NE"
  update_interval:
    minutes: 30
  update_interval_charging:
    minutes: 15
  update_interval_climate:
    minutes: 5
  force_miles: false

RoadkillUK · November 11, 2020, 10:10pm

It looks right to me, matches mine anyway. Does your usual app connect OK? and what leaf do you have?

shutak · November 11, 2020, 10:39pm

Hey thanks
It’s a 2020 one. My app connects but only shows milage? Is it a case of waiting for the app to update. Only signed up a few hours ago?

RoadkillUK · November 11, 2020, 11:17pm

Looks like something change in the 2019 leaf, here take a look at this and the following few messages.

BTW, I have a 2015 leaf which uses a different app.

shutak · November 12, 2020, 8:34am

Sorry I saw that but just assumed it had been merged or something with the integration. I’ll take a look at that now! Thanks for that

andbad · November 12, 2020, 4:10pm

Today not works. With “Nissan EV” app I can connect and update data of the car, but the integration not works. I touch nothing on configuration:

nissan_leaf:
  username: "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
  password: "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
  region: "NE"
  update_interval:
    hours: 1
  update_interval_charging:
    minutes: 5
  update_interval_climate:
    minutes: 5

This is error log:

2020-11-12 15:20:59 DEBUG (SyncWorker_2) [homeassistant.components.nissan_leaf] Logging into You+Nissan...

2020-11-12 15:21:01 ERROR (SyncWorker_2) [homeassistant.components.nissan_leaf] An unknown error occurred while connecting to Nissan: <class 'pycarwings2.pycarwings2.CarwingsError'>

I’ve a 2016 Leaf, the component works perfectly until yesterday.

I added:

to logs configuration and this is the log:

Can anyone help me?

Sorry for flooding. I downgrade to 0.117.5 and works perfectly, so the bug are in 0.117.6

By(t)e

RoadkillUK · November 13, 2020, 5:00pm

@andbad Running 0.117.6 fine here, sorry

andbad · November 16, 2020, 8:06am

You’re right. From yesterday, the error has returned.
Today, I upgraded again to 0.117.6 and the error go away. It’s very strange.
Is there any kind of cache in the code?

EDIT: Nothing to do. After some restarts of HA, it has returned again. I don’t know what to do.

RoadkillUK · November 16, 2020, 9:04pm

That seems to be the way it is, it’s usually the Nissan servers that are at fault (but not always)

andbad · November 17, 2020, 7:31am

It’s not Nissan servers.

All works ok.
Restart HA
Got the error.
Downgrade to 0.117.5
Upgrade to 0.117.6
Restart HA
All works ok

I make this steps in about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, the Nissan app and website works normally.
So, I think that something break when I restart HA.
