Please read up on how to use custom components, you need to grab the files for the Leaf component from the Github repo’s components folder and throw them into your own custom components folder retaining the hierarchy.
This is heavily under alpha/beta right now, so it’s not really made for first time users.
https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/dev_101_index.html
Inside your configuration directory create a new folder called custom_components. It might be that one already exists, that’s fine too. This is the folder that Home Assistant will look at when looking for custom code.
I will keep an eye on this thread…
Just got a Leaf 2018 today and are quite eager to get this to work.
I was surprised today when this component started working all of the sudden.
I’m running Hassio on hassos.
I’m trying to get the battery sensor to hit siri. It’s in listed in home assistant, but doesn’t traverse over to this component for some reason. Look at the bottom of this page. Battery tracking is possible.
How did you get all your leaf stats into one “leafen” group? Mine are in little bubbles on top and a switch group below.
Using group.yaml
leaf:
name: Leaf
icon: mdi:car
entities:
- binary_sensor.leaf_plug_status
- sensor.leaf_charge
- sensor.leaf_charge_time_1
- sensor.leaf_charge_time_2
- sensor.leaf_range
- sensor.leaf_range_ac
- switch.leaf_charging_status
- switch.leaf_climate_control
Nothing. It’s valid. It sees it. It doesn’t change it. This is really confusing stuff.
Installation on hass.io:
I just copied the files from Ben over to my hass.io (running on top of Ubuntu 18.04) via the samba share like:
\\myip\config\custom_component\nissan_leaf.py
\\myip\config\custom_component\switch\nissan_leaf.py
\\myip\config\custom_component\sensor\nissan_leaf.py
\\myip\config\custom_component\binary_sensor\nissan_leaf.py
and added this to the configuration.yaml:
nissan_leaf:
username: "[email protected]"
password: "mypassword"
nissan_connect: true
region: 'NE'
update_interval: 30
update_interval_charging: 10
update_interval_climate: 5
force_miles: false
Restarted hass.io and all works just fine…
I’ve implemented your changes exactly as stated in: https://github.com/BenWoodford/home-assistant/pull/1/files
but on hassio restart:

Any idea?
It’s as it says, inconsistent use of tabs. That PR hasn’t been merged due to a number of reasons, most of all because it doesn’t followed convention nor does it follow the structure of the rest of the component
I’ll take your word for it since I am not a coder 
Not trying to sound unthankful, impatient or anything, because great work has been done already…but…
Is there any development going on? I don;t see much going on on github since 7 months or so…
I’m using this for a while now and it works great on hass.io without any further modifications.
A hass.io community addon would be great and make it more accessible to the “regular user”.
Any plans to integrate GPS location?
Any plans for a official home assistant addon?
Kind regards,
Michel
Been pretty busy which is why I haven’t had time to work on this. However I can’t build the device tracker for it as I have a pre-2016 Leaf that doesn’t send its GPS location. Someone did submit a PR for it but it wasn’t linted and didn’t follow the same structure so I had to decline it for now.
As for being part of Home Assistant, it’s mostly a restructuring and linting thing. I submitted it but was declined and basically just haven’t had any time to work on it as spare time is somewhat of an alien concept to me these days.
I understand. I have the same issue most days of the year
@ kurol
Would you be willing to review your code and share a working version of it (based on the latest Leaf addon by Ben) to the community? I tried the changes in your pull-request but it won’t work.
Kind regards,
Michel
Would this work with infiniti by chance? When I setup the Alexa skill it mentioned Nissan
