Volvo2Mqtt: Connect your AAOS Volvo 🚙

Yes and no. This seems to happen after the 2.10 update… Do you have the installed update ?
This issue also related to here.

abeltman · July 7, 2023, 2:04pm

Yes… I have indeed upgraded to 2.10 yesterday or the day before (after charging)

Dielee · July 7, 2023, 2:37pm

Jep, same for me and for others. Hope they will fix this. Just wait…

Sorry if this is too low level but I seem to get stuck on the vccapikey. Left it empty ("") as per the instruction in the GitHub but the add on doesn’t start and the logs tell me it’s needed. Is it available somewhere? I looked it up and requirement is to be a registered developer and build an app, then it will be created. To me it sounds like @Dielee already done that.

Edit: After going back to the readme and scrolling all to the left in the table I found the answer to my question. Considered to delete this post but I decided to only edit it in case someone else of my “capacity” stumbles on the same issue.

Edit2: After doing some RTF and understanding how everything actually works this was actually really easy to get working. The most difficult thing was the vccapikey but if you have a GitHub account it’s really effortless to just login and register (I think that’s more what you do than “creating” one) an app that you want to be able to communicate with your car. I salute @Dielee for putting down the time and work to build this integration. Hat off!

Excellent! After a bit of config confusion I have it working with my XC40 recharge. To add a note, the API key you want is one from your created app, not the test API keys you can get from the different APIs. It should only be ~20 characters long, not 100+.

chrismelba · July 20, 2023, 11:48pm

I’m loving this app, particularly the state of charge, but it doesn’t seem to be working as a device tracker? The location is always just “away” with no GPS coordinates. Is there something I have to enable for the API, or is it just because I’m in Australia?

Dielee · July 21, 2023, 7:59am

If your device tracker appears, there should be gps coordinates. Please check the device tracker “attributes”.

Butei · July 21, 2023, 9:34am

I’ve added a person under settings. And linked the tracker to this person.

malonip · July 21, 2023, 3:45pm

Awsome integration ! It works perfectly on my XC40 Recharge (2021).

Do you think we will be able to modify remotely the desired battery charge % (through the Volvo app or through your integration) ?

Dielee · July 21, 2023, 4:59pm

No, sorry, as there is no API endpoint to change this setting.

wixoff · July 21, 2023, 7:57pm

My 2022 C40 (North America) has a device tracker entity but it shows as Unknown state, and the only attribute is Source = GPS.

@chrismelba his may be another thing that EMEA gets but North America and AP don’t.

Dielee · July 21, 2023, 8:41pm

Please enable debug an show me some logs

wixoff · July 21, 2023, 10:01pm

Absolutely. Here’s the top of the log, with some material edited out between the initial calls and the location excerpt:

Thanks @Dielee, that’s what I thought (it’s a pity that Volvo doesn’t provide this basic feature)
Thanks again for your awsome work !

Dielee · July 22, 2023, 7:17am

Location isn’t supported by your car or country, sorry. But you have an device tracker entity which state is unknown ?

wixoff · July 22, 2023, 3:47pm

OK so I stopped volvo2mqtt, deleted the car’s device in HA, and restarted volvo2mqtt. The device tracker didn’t come back - so it must have been a holdover from a prior version of the software. Thanks for looking into it!

ahammas · July 24, 2023, 8:29am

After using this for about two weeks I have to say this add on is amazing!

However I have one entity that I don’t really understand the function of. “Charging Connection Status”. It always indicates “Disconnected” even if the car is connected for charging. I haven’t connected it to a DC fast charger yet, only a home charger, so it could be that this will only activate if connected to a fast charger. The icon indicates that could be the case.

It would be great to have it also working for home chargers.

malonip · July 24, 2023, 8:49am

The “Charging System Status” gives the charging status for home charger.

Dielee · July 24, 2023, 8:55am

“Charging Connection Status” is broken since 2.10 car update. Hopefully volvo will fix this in 2.11.

ahammas · July 24, 2023, 6:04pm

That explains it!

Again, a great add-on!
