Heated steering wheel and seats

[DasBasti]

The Hello Smart App lets you enable the heated steering wheel and seats for the driver.

A switch in ha lets you enable the steering wheel and seat heating remotely.

in Hello #, it's a big global command with whatever has been selected in preconditioning screen

I'm not sure how you will adapt it to start them separately. 2 really close API calls to start one seat and then the other make the second call ignored. You might need a timer to delay any following call.

Here is the case when all elements were selected:

{
   "operationScheduling":{
      "occurs":1,
      "recurrentOperation":0,
      "scheduledTime":null,
      "duration":180,
      "interval":0
   },
   "serviceId":"rce_2",
   "command":"start",
   "creator":"tc",
   "serviceParameters":[
      {
         "key":"rce.conditioner",
         "value":"1"
      },
      {
         "key":"rce.temp",
         "value":"21.5"
      },
      {
         "value":"front-left",
         "key":"rce.heat"
      },
      {
         "value":"front-right",
         "key":"rce.heat"
      },
      {
         "key":"rce.heat",
         "value":"steering_wheel"
      },
      {
         "key":"rce.level",
         "value":"1"
      }
   ],
   "timeStamp":"1716755031934"
}

each element is optional:

• front-left: always driver seat, even in UK where the driver is on the right side
• front-right: always passenger seat (left in UK)
• steering_wheel
• rce.level: level of heating for all of the elements in the API call
  • low = 1
  • medium = 2
  • high = 3

Any view on progress with this one? I'd love to automate the pre-conditioning, seat & wheel heating via HA.

I would also be very happy about this opportunity in HA. I read that it should already work via iobroker.

[DasBasti]

I would also be happy to do that. It's the next thing on my list. I started to integrate it but then live happend. Maybe during the holidays I can find some time to finish it.

Thanks, Basti! I really appreciate your work for the community!

Version 0.5.5 has some preheating functionality. Three new entities where added, to set steering wheel and seat heating levels. When the preconditioning is started the levels are also transmitted. Setting the levels does not start precondition.
