Volvo2Mqtt: Connect your AAOS Volvo 🚙

ajfi-droid2 · April 28, 2024, 3:39pm

Just doing my periodic check in - those of us in North America (at least with many modern vehicles) are still ‘SOL’, correct?

chrismelba · April 28, 2024, 10:47pm

I just checked Australia (another forbidden market) and still getting 403 returns, so yes in essence. In theory someone with developer skills could add additional sensors to the HA AAOS app. I got as far as downloading Android Studio, but then got scared of how hard it was again. Maybe I’ll open that up again tonight.

Works great in XC60 2024 Black Edition. Even the car images are acurate.

Mats789 · May 1, 2024, 11:17am

Also works great with C40 2024

Region: Sweden

If you don’t mind me asking, what region are you in?

In the same boat here

I am trying to get this to work with an external MQTT broker (internal works fine).
There are no settings for TLS, only port. It won’t connect on port 8883.
Does it not support TLS?

I solved it by bridging the local Mosquitto MQTT broker with the external (HiveMQ).

so I’m running the docker version and it connectes to my mqtt broker with no issue, and detects my VIN through the use of the API :

But as far as I can see, the only topic that gets published is the following :

Can someone pelase let me know what I’m doing wrong ? Should I not get all the different statuses right away as different topics ?

Thanks !

There must be absolutely NO special characters in the Volvo-IT-password…

stijn.barbe · May 21, 2024, 2:23pm

Scroll up a few posts to the last one by “scriven33”…

Crouze · May 23, 2024, 9:30pm

What a great add-on, with this my already fantastic new car became even better!

Anyway, just to confirm that it works 100% with the 2024 V60 Recharge T8.

ajfi-droid2 · May 23, 2024, 9:35pm

If you don’t mind me asking, what region are you in?

silkyclouds · May 24, 2024, 11:55am

Hey,

I obvisouly do have MQTT installed and running in my HA instance. I’m using it with Z2M and have 1300 entities published on it.

For some reason, even in my mqtt broker, if you look at the screenshot I’ve sent, I only do have a single online topic published by the volvo2mqtt integration.

I must be missing something ?

Crouze · May 24, 2024, 9:56pm

I’m in Europe.

Crouze · May 24, 2024, 10:18pm

I have a fully working volvo2mqtt integration, and I can tell you this:

The Volvo2mqtt device you see in HA is just the add-on, it is not actually the device representing the data from your car. That is why an MQTT Explorer will only show the one item published (“availability”). The data you are actually interested in will never show up in MQTT Explorer.

A properly configured Volvo2mqtt should have (automatically) created a second device in HA, representing your connected car with all the entities. In my case:

For this to work you will of course need a vccapi key (from the Volvo Developer website) and a working volvo2mqtt configuration in HA. I assume you already have this, but this info might be beneficial to others.

silkyclouds · May 26, 2024, 8:15am

Well, I was just looking at the wrong place. Indeed, my XC60 is listed there and I can see everything reported in HA. Thanks !!!

silkyclouds · May 26, 2024, 10:20am

Gents, First thing I am thinking about is creating the following automations :

If outside temp is above XX Celcius / Farenheit, then cool the car using A/C for 15 minutes, before we leave to work
If outside temp is under XX Celcius / Farenheit, then heat the car using A/C for 15 minutes, before we leave to work
Get a notification each time the engine starts, just in case it wouldn’t be me or my wife starting the engine

Reagrding the two first ideas, did someone try the AC enabling feature ? will it work like the feature of the official volvo app ? Run on the battery ?

Ries71 · May 27, 2024, 8:39am

Hi,
Just checking. Anyone else havng the same experience?

Just noticed that after update Volvo2Mqtt to 1.9.0 i receive multiple e-mails with “Volvo ID verification code”.

Question: how to prevent this?

The Add-on stoped working little bit later after the update.

Swallowtail · May 27, 2024, 8:45am

Put the result into the mqtt entity for 2fa code…
