Hi @FireWizard

Hello @kiddigital,

You wondered:

Maybe create a separate ‘Volvo on Call API’ forum thread to continue?

I have been starting this thread more than 2 years ago, as, at that, time there was nothing about "connected" cars.

...

So I suggest to open a new thread for the Volvo extended vehicle API, as soon as the Domoticz "hardware" component is ready.
Perhaps, also to ask a moderator to move all the posts, starting March 9, to this new thread if this is possible.

Regards

Found some time to play around with the Volvo Demo API and got some initial things working...

Work in progress and Authorization does not (really) work as the 'password' now is the 'access_token' from the portal

Opening a new thread later is fine by me

Hello @kiddigital,

Found some time to play around with the Volvo Demo API and got some initial things working...

I see it and the screenshots looks already good.

Some issues perhaps to be aware of.

1. Currently the Volvo DEMO car returns 35 sensors and does not have any possibilities to send controls.
My private car (Volvo V40 from 2019) returns 36 sensors, while the documentation describes 39 sensors
I implemented them all, but some of them are more useful then others.

2. In the second screenshot it looks that you have a configuration field for the VIN
This is quite a long number and may lead to mistakes, if you fill it in manually.
It is not necessary, as you can ask (at least if the provided credentials are correct) for it:
https://api.volvocars.com/extended-vehicle/v1/vehicles. It will return the VIN.

3. You also use two intervals, dependent whether the car is at home or not.
How do you know that, as the current version of the API does not provide any location (lat/lon) information.
This current interface has not been made specifically for EV cars. So charging will also not work.
My previous car had a "Parking heater", but my current car has not.
So no information about "Heater" or "Climate control"

Another thing to be aware of, that, if the cars is moving, you will (at least) not receive location information, for privacy reasons.
The other sensors I have never tried, but I think it does not communicate with the central server.

But continue the good work.

Regards

Hello @kiddigital,

1. Currently the Volvo DEMO car returns 35 sensors and does not have any possibilities to send controls.
My private car (Volvo V40 from 2019) returns 36 sensors, while the documentation describes 39 sensors
I implemented them all, but some of them are more useful then others.

For the implementation I am re-using the eVehicle framework that is also used for both the Tesla and the Mercedes implementation.

The framework now has a set of given sensors it support at the moment (based on the first implementation of the Tesla) but could/should be extended to support other sensors as well.

For now I mapped the Volvo sensors on the existing set.

Additionally, all available sensors that are provided by the API for the given car are also processed and added as 'custom sensors' with some guess work about the type (switch for example when the value looks like a boolean, or text as generic fall back). This does mean that some values could be there twice Once as a value mapped to one of the existing sensors in the framework and once as a custom sensor.

Playing with the idea of adding a toggle on the settings screen to (dis)allow the creation of custom (read 'unmapped') sensors, so users can decide if they want everything, but maybe the types could be wrong or not suited, or only the ones that are mapped perfectly.

2. In the second screenshot it looks that you have a configuration field for the VIN
This is quite a long number and may lead to mistakes, if you fill it in manually.
It is not necessary, as you can ask (at least if the provided credentials are correct) for it:
https://api.volvocars.com/extended-vehicle/v1/vehicles. It will return the VIN.

I noticed this indeed but decided to stick with entering the VIN for a few reasons:

• That is how the eVehicle framework works

• In theory the Volvo API can returned multiple VIN's, which one to pick then?

• You only have to enter the VIN once at setup, and errorlogging shows quick enough if you entered a (wrong) VIN that does not match the VIN(s) you have access to.

• And entering your own VIN is a good way to double check that it is your car

3. You also use two intervals, dependent whether the car is at home or not.
How do you know that, as the current version of the API does not provide any location (lat/lon) information.
This current interface has not been made specifically for EV cars. So charging will also not work.
My previous car had a "Parking heater", but my current car has not.
So no information about "Heater" or "Climate control"

True, we don't know and therefor it defaults to Not Home. So the 'Active' interval is never used as stated in the text Could be removed...

Another thing to be aware of, that, if the cars is moving, you will (at least) not receive location information, for privacy reasons.
The other sensors I have never tried, but I think it does not communicate with the central server.

But continue the good work.

Regards

I think most manufacturers will be very reluctant to provide precise location information (lon/lat, etc.) as it could be easily abused. Better would be somekind of support of user-location like 'home', 'work', 'school', etc. where the car is aware of the actual location (geofence) but the API only provides information that is meaningful to the cars owners/users.

and will do

FYI. I added recently the possibility to execute remote services (LIGHT, HORN, HEATING/ARICO).
This allows me starting my AIRCO/HEATING from any script. I have a script that reads my calendar... So I can book my airco/heating in advance .

Hi Filip,

I recently found out that you have made the Domoticz-BMW plugin, which is great news! I am trying to install it to read the values of a BMW i3, but I get some errors in the log of domotics. I am not sure I have the right libraries installed; i have installed:
urllib3_1_26_2 1.26.2.0
datetime3
json-python3

So far I managed to install the script, and with debuggin on it initialises quite well, but cannot get any values. It seems it is stuck on a readevent.
Authentication is without errors, at the second or third readevent it gives the following log:

Could you please indicate if i did anything wrong?

Hi,
Sorry I saw only now your message... Better is to log an issue on GitHub, this triggers me more often.
Seems indeed a bad request, which is strange of course. Don't know on which request this was the answer (authentication or the request for info)...
First of all, have not all type of BMWs to make the test... Currently I did it with my 518, which is non electric... I know that somebody else use the plugin who was driving with a hybrid (I know because I did some customizations for him).
BMW changed at a moment their API... So that's why you have the option API Type with "Legacy API" and "New". You can try to change if this would work... Otherwise the only possibility is to debug... I do this mostly in python outside domoticz... It is easier...
So if you would have found the problem, I am always interested to have the Domoticz plugin improved.
But of course without your credentials (and access to your car), I cannot help to debug .
If you would have any further concrete question, don't hesitate.

Hi, i'm trying to get my Volvo in Domoticz.

When i run ./voc mqtt i get this error.

Could not find MQTT config: /home/pi/.config/mosquitto_pub


What should I do?

Hi @hplar111

Did you follow my description and did you create the config file .voc.conf in your home directory?
see: https://github.com/FireWizard52/Volvo-o ... ticz-Howto.

Regards

[hplar111]

Yes, but made a typo and it is working now. Got on the wrong foot with the moquitto_pub error. But saw in the script that it checkes voor de .voc.conf file first. Thanks!

I've written a plugin for Domoticz to show and manage Kia and Hyundai vehicles, based on the hyundai-kia-connect-api module.

Thanks a lot for this plugin. I installed it without problems and am now using it to see which of the devices are useful to me.

If was difficult to find since the forum does not allow to search for words with less than 4 characters (like kia or car).

So this post is also to raise it for attention to anyone else who might be interested.

If was difficult to find since the forum does not allow to search for words with less than 4 characters (like kia or car).

For this I use google, works just as well if you put Domoticz in the search string.

[willemd]

Just to make the users of the Hyundai/Kia plugin aware:

A few months ago two power indicators were added to the plugin: the total power consumed and the total power generated. That is how they are named in the Hyundai/Kia cloud, the API and the plugin.

It turns out now these are not actually total cumulative figures for the car, but totals of the last 90 days only. I have updated the device descriptions in the plugin accordingly.

So if you are calculating for example average power consumption per 100 km, then after 90 days that value starts getting lower and lower because the odometer keeps increasing but the power figures remain more or less the same.

The odometer value for the last 90 days is also available in the cloud and API but currently not picked up by the plugin.

I have a problem with the Kia plugin: I've installed everything according to the Readme, and I can add the hardware in Domoticz, but there are no devices created. Log says 'Started' and 'Entering work loop'
I'm using Domoticz 2022-1 and Python 3-9-9

No other messages? First thing to check are your credentials for the KIA account in the hardware setup.

I encountered the same problem using the Volvo app.
Installed it several times, message displayed that devices are created, you can find them etc. , but nothing appeared.
Then, after several retries it suddenly worked like a charm.
