Many thanks

new range entry is called battery_autonomy

Develon1000 · March 2, 2021, 3:44pm

I have a Renault Captur E-tech Plug In Hybrid and I only have 4 entities (fuel quantity, mileage, location and fuel autonomy) available after integration.
Is there any way to get the battery status, charging and other electric components available for the hybrids?
Also, is there a way to trigger the heater for the car from Home Assistant?

@Develon1000 I suggest that you open a discussion on https://github.com/hacf-fr/renault-api and we can look at the functionnalities available for plug-in hybrids.
In particular, take a look at this doc: https://github.com/hacf-fr/renault-api/issues/48

You can also enable debug in Home Assistant

logger:
  default: error
  logs:
    renault_api: debug
    custom_components.renault: debug

And then provide your traces on https://github.com/hacf-fr/hassRenaultZE. If you do that then I can use the traces to adjust the API calls.

Hi.
Have you solved?
I have the same car na dI’ve got only 4 sensors as well.
In nprevious versions of the component i ahd all the plugins.

Develon1000 · March 30, 2021, 5:43am

Sorry, I’ve not found a fix yet.

I’ve grabbed some info from the log though which I’m going to provide to someone with deeper knowledge than myself.

Hopefully that can help them to patch this problem.

Develon1000 · March 30, 2021, 5:52am

Edit:
I’ve provided @epenet with the log, but it also seems like the last update to version 3.0.8 might have solved the issue.
I’m at least seeing 14 entities where I previously saw only 4.
Gonna try it out later today.

epenet · March 30, 2021, 6:50am

@scapman / @Develon1000 thanks for the logs.
As stated it should be all ok now in v3.0.8

Regarding the heater/HVAC, I suggest that you take a look at this page to configure a switch with a script:

github.com

hacf-fr/hassRenaultZE/blob/5950eedfb1ab66137711ee0a390c4cc5e14793da/CONFIGURE.md

# Configuration

The component is generic and tries to adapt to all supported models. It is mostly configured via the UI however, due to limitations on the Renault API, some features may need to be configured manually.

## HVAC
On some models (eg. Zoe40), HVAC status always reports as off. On other models (eg. Zoe50) it is not available at all. HVAC control is therefore not available as a standard climate entity, but needs to be controlled via a service call to `renault.ac_start`.

Please note that the service `renault.ac_stop` does not provide errors, but appears to have no effect on some models.
Following MyRenaultApp documentation, HVAC is started between 5 and 50 min.

This is an example script to start HVAC :
```yaml
# Scripts
script:
  start_hvac:
  alias: Start HVAC
  sequence:
  - service: renault.ac_start
      data:
      vin: VF1xxxxxxx

If you wish to know why the hvac was, you can review the discussion on:

Hi @epenet , Since a few months I am the proud owner of a Zoe R135. I found your integration for ‘My Renault’ in Home Assistant and would be verry pleased to be able to use it.
Unfortunately, i was not (yet) able to get it working.

I installed the files as described in GitHub - hacf-fr/hassRenaultZE: Renault ZE sensor for home assistant and tried to install the Integration via Configurations :: Integrations :: + Add Integration, and the being presented with a pop-up menu:

But when i fill-in my credentials for the My Renault website, i’l get the Invalid Credentials.

Alternatively, I tried to fill in my configuration.yaml:

# Renault ZOE     
  - platform: renaultze
    name: <My Licence plate number>
    username: !secret renaultzoe_login
    password: !secret renaultzoe_password
    vin: !secret renaultzoe_vin
    android_lng: nl_NL
    k_account_id:

I do not know what to enter by k_account_id, but in the description i read i couls leave it empty.
BTW, of cource i entered the relative entries in secrets.yaml. The entries i used are the same i use for access the My Renault website.

One other thing i noticed there is an other integration: GitHub - hacf-fr/renault-api
I am not dure what is the relationship between the two. So i tried to install it as well. but i do not know whet to do with it…

Would you please be so kind and walk me through the installation and configuration steps for the integration?

Kind regards,
Bert

epenet · June 4, 2021, 2:29pm

The credentials for Renault website are different from the credentials for the phone app.
Please first make sure that the official Renault app is working on the phone, and then try with those credentials.

deltabert · June 4, 2021, 4:54pm

@epenet , Yes you are right. I found my current Pw of the iPhone app in the settings and that worked.
Thank you for comming back on my question.

Regards, Bert

sweup · June 9, 2021, 8:38pm

I have a Zoe 50 and after reading the docs + github its my understanding that AC cant be controlled for Zoe 50 - is that correct?

Still I cant find if Renault: charge_start can be used for this model. I tried to make a service call but couldnt make it to work. Is the model supported?

psf · June 13, 2021, 1:55pm

I configured this integration with new Twingo Electric. Most of sensor seems ok, some seems duplicated or not necessary, other not reliable like bettery temperature always at 20. The battery level goes to 100% using the car, strange. Position of car is saved in HA or I can see only last one? Many thanks to all developers!

Stefan_Hriss · June 29, 2021, 3:51pm

Here is my config for the Renault Zoe.

BruceH5200 · August 5, 2021, 9:31pm

I noticed that there is now a core Renault integration.
However it seems to be missing the devicetracker for locating the car.
Is there a reason this is missing from the core version?

Do I just stick with the custom component version for now ?

Thanks

epenet · August 19, 2021, 4:31pm

@BruceH5200,

Until the follow-up PRs are merged, then you might be stuck with the custom component:

Add device tracker platform to Renault integration by epenet · Pull Request #54745 · home-assistant/core · GitHub</
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/54750
Add services to Renault integration by epenet · Pull Request #54820 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

If you feel up to it, you can review and comment on the PR

BruceH5200 · August 20, 2021, 7:50am

Thank you.
I’d found those PRs after, so happy to stick with the custom component until it’s all merged in.
Appreciate your work on it !

epenet · September 1, 2021, 3:32pm

All merged in - but not in time for 2021.9.
It will be for 2021.10 or you can use the HA developement version in the meantime.

blaine · October 16, 2021, 3:54pm

I have been looking forward to the devicetracker and assumed when I upgraded to 2021.10 I would find it as one of the entities associated with my car but it didn’t show up. Then I noticed I was still using the custom component, so I deleted it and added the integration from the UI but it still shows as being a cusom component in the integrations UI and I still don’t see the devicetracker entity. I must be doing something stupid, so could someone tell me what it is?

epenet · October 16, 2021, 4:16pm

What type of car do you have? Not all vehicles provide it.
If it wasn’t available in the custom component you won’t have it in the core component either.
