There must be another way
@BenWoodford the request lib you are talking about, is that pycarwings?
In that case we could try lowering that in the manifest file and put that in custom_components.
{
“domain”: “nissan_leaf”,
“name”: “Nissan Leaf”,
“documentation”: “https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nissan_leaf”,
“requirements”: [“pycarwings2==2.9”],
“codeowners”: ["@filcole"]
}
Any luck with 2020.12.0?
Let me know when you have something to share! Looks interesting and happy to try out!
Tried this and I like the idea, platform independence is good.
But I didn’t manage to do the build, I got some error messages related to signatures:
W: GPG error: Index of /ubuntu-ports groovy InRelease: At least one invalid signature was encountered.
E: The repository ‘Index of /ubuntu-ports groovy InRelease’ is not signed.
W: GPG error: Index of /ubuntu-ports groovy-updates InRelease: At least one invalid signature was encountered.

Can’t say that I’m an experiences docker user, but I’ve manage to get some containers up and running earlier.
Is this on a Pi? Perhaps look here or here? A number of similar issues seem to be caused by running out of space on a filesystem: the image is, sadly, a monster at over 700MB on my NAS. Luckily, I don’t have to care about that.
Alternatively, perhaps edit the Dockerfile to specify an older Ubuntu base, as it’s not critical.
Yeah, I came to that conclusion myself and I found the way forward, next challenge is to install dart on the pi and there I ran out of time. Let’s see when I get some more time to play around with this.
But one question, when I took a look at the files, it seems that it is only sensor? Is that correct? I.e no possiblities to start the heater/AC?
Yes, only sensor at the moment. The library has the potential to do everything the MyLeaf app can, but I haven’t exploited those at this point. UPDATE: climate now done.
any word on this, or on making it work through custom components?
As a beginner eagerly updating to the latest home assistant, I experience all too often that something breaks. One way to solve such problem is to create an additional home assistant in a docker container and share what ever sensor/switch that stoped working to your latest home assistant 2020.x.x.
This is built into home assistant, you only need to add Remote Home-Assistant integration to your primary hass.
So for example on my Raspberry Pi2 with raspian buster I install docker:
curl -fsSL http://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
And then I install whatever Home assistant version I want with:
sudo docker run --init -d --name="home-assistant-0117" -e "TZ=Europe/Oslo" -v /home/pi/homeassistant/0.117.6:/config --net=host homeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant:0.117.6
To manage docker images I found this guide
Portainer.
The commands I used on my rpi2 was:
sudo docker volume create portainer_data
sudo docker run -d -p 9000:9000 \
--name portainer \
--restart always \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v portainer_data:/data portainer/portainer
Then access it via http://ip.address:9000
Be aware that the leaf climate switch has a status delay when it connects to your car. This can create a on/off loop.
I’ll just manually edit the container after each update until the fix is pulled into HA build.
More info here:
Not sure how to do it through HA OS. I run it supervised, so I use “docker exec -it” command from host OS to go into the container and vi edit the file manually.
I’ve just submitted a pull request https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/44634, so hopefully the current breakage will be resolved in the next release of Home Assistant
The pull request was included in 2020.12.2 released earlier today 
Can confirm that it is working now! Thank you!
This version actually introduced another issue for me where the switch to activate climate control is not working.

Anybody else experiencing this?
I’ll submit an issue on GitHub when I get the time later today.
Edit: After getting into my car it turns out the switch DID work, but I never got the status to Home Assistant.
I have 2020.12.7 and it’s not working here 
Anyone else?
OK, I’ve taken a better look at this and I’m running 2021.1.2 and the Supervisor version is 2020.12.7.
The component should be working but it’s not

I got an error while setting up my Nissan Leaf integration in HA. I’m totally new to HA so I don’t really know if it is my fault or something is wrong with the component. I’m running at HA version 2021.1.1
Sometimes happen. Most of the time just restarting HA and the error goes away.

Do you have any tips for debugging whats happening inside the docker container. This is my first time building and running a docker image and although it says it’s up nothing seems to be happening.
These are the commands I’ve used:
sudo docker build --no-cache --tag leaf2mqtt .
sudo docker create --env MQTTTOPIC=leaf --env MQTTHOST=<IP ADDRESS OF MQTT> --env USERNAME=<EMAIL> --env PASSWORD=<PASSWORD> leaf2mqtt
sudo docker start <NAMES>
