Did you setup privacy correct?
Yes. And as per the logs above, if privacy was set, then I wouldnāt be getting my vehicle location coming through on the API call. Itās the correct vehicle position coming into OH, just no channel being created.
Iām wondering whether this is the bug:
Latitudes and longitudes are only valid if theyāre positive, but that would mean this doesnāt work for anyone west of Greenwich, including the entire US. So Iād find it hard to believe Iād be the first person to encounter this.
Anyway, I have absolute no idea how I would go about building this and testing it, and given the author seems to have dropped off, I suspect Iām stuffed.
jepp, seems the wrong way to test whether the position is valid, even 0,0 would be a valid position (at least for a ship, as itās āunder Ghanaā an āleft to Gabunā in the Atlantic Ocean).
Right, after much mucking about having to install Java stuff (shudder), I got the damn thing to build and switched it to checking if anything but 0, which seems to have fixed it. And that then opens up a heap more bugs in the OpenStreeMap resolution (I turned it off in the Thing).
I picked what I thought was the latest branch from @Wolfgang_Rosenauer 4.1.x-connectedcar. I donāt know if this is right, and I can see that branch itself out of date from the OH monorepo. My fork is here, and Iāve put my build here.
If somebody gives me idiot-level instructions of what needs to be done, Iām willing to sacrifice myself to the OH keepers and create a PR into the main repo or whatever needs to be done to put this into the market.
So I donāt know if Iām looking at the latest code, but assuming I am, can anyone explain what this is hoping to achieve:
Itāll take the object for climate (same pattern used for all entities), and turn it into JSON for sending. Brilliant, itās the penultimate line Iām struggling with. What I believe it is doing is finding any instances of ācarCapturedTimestampā (which exists) and replaces it with the entire JSON string again, which leads to some right borked JSON which then fails. Looks like a lot of effort has gone into doing something, but clearly it shouldnāt be this.
I started using CarConnectivity since 2 weeks because I was not able to get it to work with this binding. This service delivers the data via MQTT (or even via a webinterface). The developer will integrate several brands in the future (for now VW, Skoda, Seat, Cupra).
I also created a small widget to display some info (still wip). You can click on some numbers to get basic graphs.

Hi @wars ,
EDIT March 11th:
I got carconnectivity running in my terminal and the webui succesfullly shows relevant data from my cupra formentor. Next, Iād like to try unlocking/locking doort and using preheater.
Any advice how to to this?
Thanks a lot!
ā¦
Original message:
I also just came across this python mqtt tool and installed it.
I am just a little bit struggling how to start this. I have created a carconnectivity.json file created in my openhabian home folder.
Now I wonder how to start that python tool and/or how to set it to autostart.
Do you have any examples for MQTT messages to receive data and/or to lock/unlock the car?
The documentation on github is not to comprehensive yet. Appreciate any help as this looks really promising.
Thanks!
Christian
Hi!
I actually did not tried to control my car with this app, Iāll see if I can test/check later this week.
Hi,
I could successfully lock and unlock my car with the car connectivity-cli tool.
If you want further details, let me know!
Best,
Christian
I have removed the odd string replacements for the WeConnect piece, and things seem to work, and added support to toggle between scheduled and immediate charge (not thoroughly tested yet). My bridge is currently failing to authenticate, so not sure what thatās all about, the general VW platform seems a bit iffy. Iāve also managed to figure out the messages needed to set the charge target, but I figuring out how to add it to this code base will be trickier.
