Volvo on Call HA integration stopped working

Thanks again for the @DeepfatDad. I have indeed updated to latest version, and the vehicle is only a few weeks old (2021 XC40 recharge).

I don’t have the !secret in my setup, as that essential or is that just part of how you labeled your password placeholder?

I also don’t have the name: part. Is the XXXregXXX supposed to be my VIN? And the XXXPolestarXXX whatever I call it?

I’ve also tried changing my on-call password, as I saw that mentioned online as a solution, but it did not seem to help.

Jeremy,

I have my passwords located in a separate file - hence the !secret reference.

The name part replaces the registration the car was registered with by Volvo with a friendly name. I have also put the car on private plates so the old reg is no longer valid but the thoughts of trying to explain that and get it changed without breaking anything has meant I just rename it!

Really daft question - I take it the Volvo app on your phone is working perfectly?

Rgds,

Phil

That’s not a dumb question at all. The app is working perfectly, but it might be worth mentioning that I did end up with the newly redesigned version of the app when I got the new car (which I’m not happy about and was not my choice). For example, I’ve attached a screenshot of the version of the app I have.

I think the question here is; did Volvo unlock the XC40 P8 Recharge in the API the integration is linked to? I have the same issue as you have @jeremyjaytaylor. My app is working, but I get the Unauthorized message in my HA log.

I’ll keep on searching through Volvo’s developers site to see if I can find out which API instance is used for the P8.

-update-

It seems the XC40 P8 Recharge is not included in the API yet. I get an Unauthorized response using Swagger on the Developers site of Volvo:

And there is also a clear statement in the Overview text:
“This API is a Beta release, and as such can be tested against your own vehicle but not published for general release. This API works for all connected cars up to model year 2021, excluding the XC40 Recharge BEV.”

Bummer news, but thanks for the reply @Atarian! Hopefully they include XC40 recharge in the future?!

I believe they certainly will ,but they probably want to roll-out the Volvo Car app completely and successful first and add more functionality and the API might be of lower importance. Although I can imagine that the app is using the API as well… oh well, patience I guess :slight_smile:

I am wondering though, i also have a XC40 P8, if home assistant will populate the components on the operating system of home assistant. The error the system throws are linking me to non-existing file structures i.e. /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/volvooncall/.

The components are the configuration.yaml are just as described here, is this also due to the authorisation not working or am i missing something here and should i download and place the files in the right directory structure?

thanks!

On XC40P8 you have the google android based system.

The same system is integrated in Volvos S/V90, V90CC and XC60 on yearmodell 22 so there will be the same problem with those models.

The system is a lot different from early cars. It doesnt use wirelesscars servers anymore and speaks directly to the car. When you are close to the vehicle it uses bluetooth communication.

I got a 2018 V90 Cross country. The integration is not working for me. The log:

Any ideas?

Just received my XC40 Recharge pure electric today,

I did setup the correct template I think

volvooncall:
  username: !secret my_email
  password: !secret my_pass

—no région setup since I’m in Ireland.

Restarted a few time but nothing at all….
So just to clarify, the XC40 is not compatible with Home Assistant yet (huge disappointment)?

Also unrelated but on the Apple Store screenshot, there is a “map” I assumed that the car had a GPS tracker, but when I’m login I don’t have this tab with the map… also not compatible?! (I miss my XC90 T8….)

I´m really new to all this but did som tests with Postman aswell and get most of the commands to work when using upper-case letters in the VIN number… When adding the integration to HA it´s required to use lower-case letters…

I am having a similiar issue, integration with volvo on call is working ok, I can see sensors for everything that is exposes. Issue is that I cannot remote start the engine or heater.

Does anyone have the same issue?

Which vehicle are you working with?

I have an XC40 2020, not the electric one.

Maybe this is the solution?
