Volvo2Mqtt: Connect your AAOS Volvo 🚙

[mike12378912 (Mike)]

I think I have the docker installed and setup… but I can’t get the home assistant addon working.

I’m using core, so the addon won’t install. Is there a way to get it working with HACS? I’m pretty new at all of this. Sorry.

[Janne60 (Janne)]

I can’t reach the API. Any ideeas?

I got exact same error. First I change login to broker from auto to my personal, then I dont get the error that says “check MQTT” but still the API-error. Maybe something at Volvo?

[Janne60 (Janne)]

The API-error suddenly disappeared. Must have been something within Volvo.
However, I still have an issue:

I have exactly the same user-ID and password at Volvo Developer account as in the Volvodata in the Volvo2Mqtt.
For the mqtt/broker I have a unique user-id and password created in HA.
Am I doing something wrong?

The username and password should be the ones used in the Volvo Cars app on the phone. Does it work if you try with those?

[Janne60 (Janne)]

Yes. It works!!
Thank you so much and V60 PHEV MY2021 can be confirmed

Is there a API limit that I hit?

[aerikers (Anders Erikérs)]

Same problem with new application and both keys in the config. Worked until 15:05 today.
Rotated the two keys and restarted:

Is this working 24/7 for any one else?

Hi everyone,

I am having this permissions error when running the add on. Does anyone know what does it mean and how to fix it ?

[Dielee (Linus Dietz)]

Do you use the “primary” and “secondary” key from the volvo app page ? If yes, this is wrong.
You only have to use the “primary” keys. So create two volvo apps and post the “primary” keys into the vccapikey section.

[Dielee (Linus Dietz)]

There is something wrong with your rights on the host filesystem. Try to create the folder /addons/volvo2mqtt/log via ssh

[aerikers (Anders Erikérs)]

Ok, thank you!
The primary problem was to short update interval. Increase it from 60 to 120 solved the problem.

[Mheel]

Just upgraded my HA and now the energy status is not correct.

Anyone else having this issue?

[Ries71]

Yes I’m as well it seems that it stoped for some sensors but the triggers seems to be working.

Volvo2Mqtt: Connect your AAOS Volvo stopt partly

Hi, I’m using the AAOS integration and up to today it was working fine but suddenly this morning it stop partly. meaning the sensors, like battery, charging are not being updated any more but swithching on the airco or unlock the car still works. I’ve stoped, started, reloaded and rebuild the add-on but none brought it fully back to live. checked my developers account at volvo, seems okay as well. anybodoy else experiencing this or has a tip to solve ?

[Mheel]

Can it be the api that doesnt work? Tested it on Volvos site and se that its not updated since this morning.

[Ries71]

I had the same response

[malonip (Peter)]

Same problem here since yesterday. Typically, battery usage doesn’t update

[thewindev]

Something like this happened a few weeks ago and it got solved without doing anything (restarting AAOS, the add-on, etc.)
So I guess it’s an issue on their side…

[Ries71]

It’s working a bit more again, at least Battery, Odo and Range are back online, so to say. Charging sensors are still not working.

[malonip (Peter)]

It seems to be working again, but the data are delayed. Still watching…
