Renault Integration : Add stop charge and stop hvac

Feature Requests
1

Hi,

Is it possible to add to the Renault integration a service / entity to :

  • Stop charging : in core/button.py something like
async def _stop_charge(entity: RenaultButtonEntity) -> None:
    """Stop charge on the vehicle."""
    await entity.vehicle.vehicle.set_charge_stop()
  • Stop Hvac : in core/button.py something like
async def _stop_air_conditioner(entity: RenaultButtonEntity) -> None:
    """Stop air conditioner on the vehicle."""
    await entity.vehicle.vehicle.set_ac_stop()

Note: I don’t know if these lines of code are all what’s required to make a stop charge and stop climate feature to work correctly.

Regards

Looking for that too. Would like to stop charging at 70%

I have no idea about home assistant integration development but I have managed to copy core integration into custom_components and add service pause_charge. It works - I’m able to pause charging by calling service directly from lovelace or by automation.
I did try to add button as you mentioned above but it’s not working - don’t know why.
If you want I can give you some hint how to do that. I don’t feel competent to make pull-request.

great. can you explain how you did that?

As I have HA running in docker I had connected to bash:
sudo docker exec -it homeassistant bash

Then had to find core integration component:
find / -iname "renault"

Now copy whole directory to custom components folder:
cp -R /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/renault /config/custom_components/

And now out of docker just with normal sesion connected to HA machine inside HA config directory /custom_components/renault you need to modify few files:

  • manifest.json - need to add version line like:
    "version": "0.1",
  • services.yaml - add new service definition
charge_pause:
  description: Pause charge on vehicle.
  fields:
    vehicle:
      name: Vehicle
      description: The vehicle to send the command to.
      required: true
      selector:
        device:
          integration: renault
  • services.py
    Add service after
    SERVICE_CHARGE_START = “charge_start”
    and insert one into list of SERVICES:
SERVICE_CHARGE_PAUSE = "charge_pause"
SERVICES = [
    SERVICE_AC_CANCEL,
    SERVICE_AC_START,
    SERVICE_CHARGE_SET_SCHEDULES,
    SERVICE_CHARGE_START,
    SERVICE_CHARGE_PAUSE,
]

somewhere near charge_start method:

    async def charge_pause(service_call: ServiceCall) -> None:
        """Pause charge."""
        # The Renault pause charge service has been replaced by a
        # dedicated button entity and marked as deprecated
        LOGGER.warning(
            "The 'renault.charge_pause' service is deprecated and "
            "replaced by a dedicated start charge button entity; please "
            "use that entity to start the charge instead"
        )

        proxy = get_vehicle_proxy(service_call.data)

        LOGGER.debug("Charge pause attempt")
        result = await proxy.vehicle.set_charge_stop()
        LOGGER.debug("Charge pause result: %s", result)

and after:
hass.services.async_register(
DOMAIN,
SERVICE_CHARGE_START,
charge_start,
schema=SERVICE_VEHICLE_SCHEMA,
)

new registration:

    hass.services.async_register(
        DOMAIN,
        SERVICE_CHARGE_PAUSE,
        charge_pause,
        schema=SERVICE_VEHICLE_SCHEMA,
    )

After reloading of integration (maybe HA restart) service started working for me.

Thanks for providing a work around. I’m sure this is helpful for the developers. I really would love to see this in the standard integration. Thanks.

Thank you so much i managed to get your changes into my Home-Assistant and now im Able to stop charging at 80% what i wanted to do from the First day of my BEV-Life. (Dacia Spring)

If somebody could push these Changes to the Main Thread of the Integrations or could give me a short hint how to do so it would be a blast.

Some time ago i added start and stop charging to Renault integration locally.
I did not yet manage to push this to HA core repo.

Is there a easy way to use the renault.ac_cancel and renault.ac_start service? I like to set a temperature according to the weather.
