After a few searches I wasn’t able to come up with anything so figured I’d ask here.
Anyone seen a Home Assistant integration with ‘Porsche Connect’?
Thanks!
Not yet… but I am very interested !

Me too 
I’m working on one right now if anyone is interested, i haven’t published the actual integration yet, still some work to do. But the python library along with a basic CLI can be found here:

Any progress on your integration? My BMW was nicely integrated as was my Tesla, but now I’ve got a 2021 Cayenne and I’m really missing having access to my car from my dashboard.
It’s been a little slow lately, but I aim to give it som more time soon. The client library for it is pretty much done so it’s just a matter of doing the integration sensors and switches. Currently away on vacation, will take a look when I get home

Hi Johan,
I hope you had a good vacation and have a lot of new energy to finish this ;-). My Taycan is arriving in January of 2022 and I would love to add it to my Smart Home through HA as my Tesla currently is.
Congrats to the Taycan, it’s a really nice car
There has been some progress to it, another integration needed to be done in between but i’m almost done with that one and will get back to this.

Hi Johan! Appreciate your efforts on this!
You seem to really know your stuff in this area so I was wondering if you had any knowledge of how to go about creating an integration for Lexus, or even just how to access the API for the Lexus app. I’ve never attempted to build anything from scratch but it seems like a good learning experience if I had the right tools and knew who to talk to.
Is this via the regular ‘Porsche Connect’ subscription service? If you need a tester I’ve got a 958 GTS with an active subscription.
And to follow up on this, I got the cli installed and a ‘list’ command brought back my vehicle info. Nice!
These commands work, in that they return valid data:
list, summary and capabilities.
When I query a “cli position --vin XXXXXX” (with the correct VIN, obviously) I gives me back the error:
{
“pcckErrorKey”: null,
“pcckErrorMessage”: “Gray services are not offered for this vehicle.”,
“pcckErrorCode”: null,
“pcckIsBusinessError”: true
}
I believe I’ve got full subscription services paid up for this, am I missing something?
The same ‘gray services’ error also happens with triplongterm, tripshortterm, speedalerts and theftalerts.
I have seen ‘theft alerts’ in the android app (alarm set off by someone still in the vehicle). So there is data “online” for that. I don’t have any speed or geo boundaries set for it.
Capabilities is odd in that seat heating is present in the vehicle, both front and rear. But I suspect this has more to do with not being able to de/activate them remotely. Also it returns engineType and carModel as “UNKNOWN”
$ ./cli.py --vin WP1XXXXX capabilities
{
“displayParkingBrake”: true,
“needsSPIN”: false,
“hasRDK”: true,
“engineType”: “UNKNOWN”,
“carModel”: “UNKNOWN”,
“onlineRemoteUpdateStatus”: null,
“heatingCapabilities”: {
“frontSeatHeatingAvailable”: false,
“rearSeatHeatingAvailable”: false
},
“steeringWheelPosition”: “LEFT”,
“hasHonkAndFlash”: false
}
Where would I have set a PIN code? If I try lock/unlock it prompts me for one. Trying something random throws this error:
$ ./cli.py --vin WPXXXXX unlock

Likewise climate-on and climate-off also throw an error. But I don’t believe the non-EV variants can even DO remote climate controlling (it doesn’t show up as an option in the Porsche android app). Same with directcharge-on and directcharge-off.

Thanks!
Yes the intention is to make this work for any Porsche with a “Porche Connect” subscription.
I have only been able to test this myself with a Porsche Taycan, so help testing other models is very appreciated.
For the unsupported commands, perhaps those capabilites are not supported by your model?
Or perhaps it’s using some different API endpoint. Anything that works in the Porsche Connect Web UI and/or app should be possible to do here as well.
I see that you have opened an issue in the Github repo, that’s great, let’s continue there

Hey,
I have just installed the custom component in HA. Fisrt impression is really good, it took all the info about my Cayenne e-hybrid (2018 model). I got 1 device (the Cayenne), 12 entities and 2 controls (Direct charge and Direct Climatisation). Everything looks pretty good.
I will report anything I find along the way. Any questions please reach out to me. I can help on the testing of my model.
Great job and great thanks

I have updated the README for my integration with information on supported models.
It turns out that some models have support for a system called Porsche Car Connect instead of Porsche Connect, my integration (or library) currently have no support for Porsche Car Connect.
This library will let you access your car equipped with Porsche Connect. It does not work with the predecessor Porsche Car Connect.
Porsche Connect is available for the following Porsche models:
- Taycan
- 911 (from 992)
- Cayenne (from 2017, E3)
- Panamera (from 2021, G2 PA)
You can also take a look here, select your model and see if it has Porsche Connect:
https://connect-store.porsche.com/
A Porsche Connect subscription also needs to be active for it to work.

IIRC, the E3 Cayenne didn’t start delivering until the 2018 model year.
I say this because I have a 2017 model year Cayenne, E2.
I hope to get some http proxying rigged up and try to debug what ‘Car Connect’ is using.

Interestingly, Porsche just sent out an e-mail informing me that due to AT&T discontinuing 3G services there will be a free replacement made of the Connect services module in my GTS.
Wonder if it will impact the service API the device uses? We’ll see, come January, I guess.
Fwiw, I just got this e-mail today from Porsche:
Dear Customer,
On behalf of Porsche, we are delighted to inform you that a new app is currently being developed that will soon be available in the App Store and in the Google Play Store.
The new app will combine the services of several already existing Porsche apps, including the Porsche Car Connect app.
This ensures a ‘one of a kind’ user experience and a maximum of connectivity between you and your vehicle.
We will soon give you more information about it but, please, note that the current Porsche Car Connect app will shortly be removed from the stores, therefore shortly unavailable for using.
If you have any specific questions regarding the new app, please email your local Porsche Customer Service at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
We are looking forward to contacting you with further details.
Kind regards,
Vodafone Automotive
Reaching out here with the ultimate newbie question… I’m just now getting into HA and am barely keeping my head above water with the system level stuff. I am using the HA Blue device which, I believe, is running the three components (core, supervisor, and host). I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install this add-on. Since this version doesn’t seem to have the full python library I’m not able to run pip from the CLI. Or, more likely, when I use the CLI I’m dropping into the wrong spot like the core vs. the host container. Anyone here deploy this on HA Blue?
You only need to add the integration in the configuration panel, nothing else, aside of providing the configuration parameters. BTW, I also run the HA Blue
well damn what am I missing then? In the Git repo it says to use PIP to install it but when I drop to the CLI using the SSH/Terminal add-on any python commands I use don’t work.
