Connectedcars.io (Min Volkswagen)

The Connectedcars.io (Min Volkswagen) component is a Home Assistant custom component for showing car information for Danish Volkswagens equipped with the hardware to send data to the mobile app "Min Volkswagen". Min Skoda, Min Seat and Mit Audi all use the same backend and should work as well, although still not tested.

State and attributes

A device is created for each car. For each car the following sensors can be created, but only when data is present. Thus fuel based cars should have fuel level sensors, while EVs should have battery sensors.

The naming scheme is {brand} {model} <name>.
Sensor names:

• BatteryVoltage (12V battery)
• EVHVBattTemp (EV)
• EVchargePercentage (EV)
• fuelLevel
• fuelPercentage
• GeoLocation
• Health (severity threshold configurable)
  • Attribute: Leads array may help to explain the cause
• Ignition
• Lamp +name (one sensor per each reported lamp, disabled by default)
• NextServicePredicted (disabled by default)
• odometer
• outdoorTemperature
• Speed
• Fuel economy (disabled by default)
• Mileage latest year (disabled by default)
• Mileage latest month (disabled by default)
• Mileage since refuel (disabled by default)

All sensors may not be reported correctedly with all cars. Among others fuelPercentage is one of those.

Debugging

It is possible to debug log the raw response from the API. This is done by setting up logging like below in configuration.yaml in Home Assistant. It is also possible to set the log level through a service call in UI.

logger: 
  default: info
  logs: 
    custom_components.connectedcars_io: debug
