Seems Homekit UI getse messed up if all featurea enabled. Also, the lock/unlock does not work. Lights, horn, pre-climate works. Lights & Horn seems to be behind the same feature so one cannot disable only one of them. Start engine might not work. Not sure.

And a question, should location info be visible somewhere?

Does this also work for Polestar?

Issues:
The climate feature no response, the feature is grayed out in Home app. The other feathers all work fine.

How do I install this in Homebridge?

Hello I have installed and configured the plug in according to the specifications. Unfortunately it is not visible in Homkit. What have I done wrong?

Hi @trympet
great work!
I'm sharing your project on my own "Open Hardware Electronics for the Volvo P2 platform".
You can find the link on the page below:
https://github.com/aeonSolutions/AeonLabs-AI-Volvo-MKII-Open-Hardware/wiki/Other-Automotive-Projects

Great plug-in. We have a couple Volvos, it would be great to control each!

hello

i do get the error
[2/28/2021, 10:46:35 PM] [homebridge-volvo] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Contact Sensor State': characteristic value expected number and received undefined. See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

when I go to the mentioned link, it says i should contact the developper ...

i am in europe, have a volvo V60 and running homebridge v1.3.1 on raspberry pi
plugin: homebridge-volvo v1.0.5

@trympet: I realize this is WELL outside the scope of this particular project, and forgive me for creating a separate "Issue", but I figured that might be the most appropriate method..

I'm a grey-bearded Javascript (and other languages) developer. I only really understand traditional in-browser javascript, but I'm trying to to get up to speed on modern JS/TS development. There's a lot (LOT) to learn!

Since I'm tinkering with this plugin, I'd like to use my fork as the source on my own Homebridge instance. But when I did sudo npm install -g github:drakkhen/homebridge-volvo on my pi the plugin did not work at all. It installed without any explicit errors but the /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-volvo directory did not contain a dist/ directory (it had node_modules and a few other files but nothing from src/). Seems like some post-processing/building did not trigger.

I'm totally at a loss as to what magic duct-tape didn't fire off to make my github-based-npm-install work. I simply forked the repo and make a few tiny changes, but I don't get why the build process would be affected.

Do you have any tips or resources that you can link me to so that I can use my fork for final testing before submitting PRs? Thanks!

@trympet
I hope not to bother. 🙈

I noticed that every time I restart Homebridge (or I have to) the battery level (in my case fuel level) is showing 0%.
In Eve App I have to go to the settings and just open the device and in a second the correct level is loaded.
However, when restart Homebridge to reproduce the bug, the level is again 0% until I open the device again.

Not a serious problem, but maybe you see a chance to fix this in one of the next plugin updates.
Hope this info helps.

Thanks again for your time and interest in your fan base. 😉

If i don't put my vin same error with (undefined) as the VIN...

My car is a Volvo XC40 full electric P8 . Volvo on call is ok . Homebridge on Rpi3 .

I got notice from Volvo that the app will soon start requiring 2FA. This will likely break this plugin unless it is updated to handle it.

Is anybody maintaining this or is anybody up to the task of forking the plugin when this happens?

Hello,

I have the same problem with this warning.

This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Contact Sensor State': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "undefined" (undefined)

Volvo XC60 2019

Thank you

Getting:

Hi I live in EU and get the same error as in the previous issue : [My Volvo Car] Failed to start homebridge-volvo with Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND vocapi-..wirelesscar.net.

Can you please help? By the way, I had to put a dot "." in the region. When I only put "", it would not write it and would get an error saying, that region was not specified.

What am I doing wrong? The VIN number is okay, and the app is working on the iphone.

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks

Unfortunately at the moment I can't test. But the next weekend is coming. :)

However, I noticed that the battery level is showing a warning all over.
My V90 is not electro or hybrid 🙈🙉🙊 - it's sad I know -
Can the fuel level also be reflected in the battery level or disabled? Fuel level of course would be a dream.

And by the way, regardless if the plugin will work for me 100% or not, @trympet you should have a PayPal or Buy Me A Coffee Button here. I'm happy to spend you a drink or two for your work and great support. 🤗

@trympet Hey there. I hope you are doing well.

My Homebridge did shut down this morning due to the Volvo Plugin.
After manually restart everything was working again.

However, this error probably shouldn't crash and shutting down the whole homebridge?

Maybe a small fix for a future update.

Thanks again for your time and work. 👍

I do not have the opportunity to see the temperature from the car. We do not yet have a weather station connected to our smart home, and then it would be nice to have access to the outdoor temperature from the car for so long.

is that possible?

Hi guys,

Wonderful plugin. I was looking for it since 2018 :)
I tried to find the VOC API endpoint to start/stop the hvBattery charging status, but I was not able to.
Have you? (maybe it doesn't exist... but there is a dedicated action in the VOC App for that... there must be an endpoint ???!!!)

It would be great to have a homekit switch to pause/resume the car charging when plugged.

Thanks.

It appears that either my car (XC40) does not support remote climate or that it just doesn't work. This is not related to the plugin of course.

However, due to that the Home app will always show the car as not responding although the other services work fine.

Would it be possible to add a configuration option to choose not to expose the climate feature?

Thanks in advance.

Hey @trympet
Thanks for bringing your plugin to npm.
Manuell Installation worked without an error.

pi@raspberrypi-3BPlus:~ $ sudo npm install -g homebridge-volvo
+ [email protected]
added 37 packages from 69 contributors in 65.029s

However, when starting homebridge this error is in the log and Homebridge is crashing.

Maybe you have an idea? Volvo V90 (Early 2020)

Thanks in advance.

@trympet Hope you are doing well.
Any plans for this plugin? I assume you had the idea of having Volvo OnCall features showing up in HomeKit? Just wondering, because I would love to see such a great plugin. :)

Any news or development on this foreseeable? Thanks.

Volvo updated the app. Now, at least in China, all accounts are required use a mobile phone number (11 digits) to login in instead of email.

PS: In order to use a mobile phone number to login in, account must include in (+country code) and (phone number). For example, +861355xxxxxxx.

I'm getting a 500 error in logs when the Volvo plugin is starting - did something change about their endpoints that is breaking the plugin?

We were recently on vacation and after a few days the accessories exposed by homebridge-volvo showed "on" statuses, unexpectedly. According into the API docs "When the car has not been used for more than 3-5 days, the invocation command request may not be able to perform because is set in standby mode", and includes a table of the possible error status values here: https://developer.volvocars.com/apis/connected-vehicle/details/#vehicle-sleep-and-error-modes

I'm still super new to homebridge plugin development, but I believe we could throw this error in accessories' onGet (and onSet?) methods to immediately cause HomeKit to show accessories as "No Response", which I think would be the best and most accurate status since the vehicle's communication equipment is temporarily disabled.

throw new HapStatusError(HAPStatus.SERVICE_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE);

Hi! I installed the plugin on both Synology Nas Docker or Windows 10, and got the same error, could you help? Thanks!

Hi,
at first, great plugin! Thank you.

Is it possible to reduce the device count in Alexa?
Feature deactivation didn't help there.

I want to use only the heater/climate feature.

From the Volvo widget I can see temperature around the car and fuel status of my XC40 T5. Are they available in the API, too?

Hi, thank you for this plugin, really good. 👍🏻

I’ve noticed that the plugin is hammering the dns server with new queries all the time (vocapi.wirelesscar.net). About 45K/day. Is this really necessary?

Hello there. First of all, thank you for putting together such great initiative.

Is there any need to adjust the config.json file to accomodate 2022 volvo car API? I am think of API key, or Vehicle TOKEN...

So far I am stuck with the error below...
