PreHeater integration

[michiii1337]

Hi there! :)

i want to control, start and stop my preHeater(German: Standheizung). I can control the preHeater with "We Connect" so i think it should be possible to integrate in your code?

If you need me or my car for debugging or testing send me a pm.

Thanks!!

[tillsteinbach]

WeConnect uses a different backend. It needs to be controllable through WeConnect ID App

[tillsteinbach]

Could you be so kind and install WeConnect-cli and do a weconnect-cli -vv --selective all get / for me? I would be interested in the cars capabilities and if you see any warnings in the output already.

[michiii1337]

Sure, here is the output. I added only the errors. Yesterday my License expiered, i only upgraded the "Security & Service Plus" License today.

Hmmm, unfortunately nothing about preheater

[michiii1337]

i installed the WeConnect ID App temporary. With this App i can not control my preHeater.

Only with the "We Connect" App i can choose between Climatisation and PreHeater.

[michiii1337]

is it planned to support the "We Connect Backend" ?

[tillsteinbach]

No. I expect the normal WeConnect App to be replaced by the new App some time in the future. I don’t see a reason for VW to maintain two apps.

I have a simualar problem with my tiguan 2018. I guess it's a problem over all platforms :-( I follow and install the weconnect-cli but in every cass of my tries to collect the list data I still run into errors.

like you wrote here (I add only user password) : sudo weconnect-cli -u xxxxxx -p yyyyyy -vv --selective all get

usage: weconnect-cli get [-h] [--format {string,json}] ID weconnect-cli get: error: the following arguments are required: ID

If I add a slash to the command

Can you share the correct syntax or some other hints for the usage please. A normal login looks like it works.

Many thanks, Christian

[tillsteinbach]

Is that the latest version? Can you check with —version

[KenkiCK]

Hi Till, it's weconnect-cli 0.33.4 (using WeConnect-python 0.49.0)

I used the described standardway to install (pip3 install)

[tillsteinbach]

Update: I‘m now more than confident that it is possible to make the auxiliary Heater (Standheizung) work. But: I would need someone to give me remote access to his car for testing.

[michiii1337]

@tillsteinbach i can give you access to my car. when do you want to test?

[tillsteinbach]

That is a nice offer, let me prepare everything and then Inlet you know. I need probably an hour where I am allowed to turn things on and off :)

[tillsteinbach]

Ok, preparaion is done, I would be ready to test if we can make it work. If you would still be able to share your account please send me an email

[tillsteinbach]

can you check again if the preheater is working now?

[michiii1337]

only got this channels. which should i use to control the preheater?

VW disabled the "We Conncted" App and i now switched to the "Volkswagen" App. With the "Volkswagen" app i can control now my preHeater like before with "We Connected" App. I installed your Docker Container "weconnect-mqtt" and enabled my preHeater with "Volkswagen" App. Topic: climatisationState change to "unknown climatization state" and heaterSource change to "unknown heater source". If you need my Account to debug the preHeater Messages write me a message. I didnt find any debug logs to send

[michiii1337]

Found the Debug Logging Option here the Warnings:
