Volvo2evcc

This component is based on Volvo2MQTT and creates a REST service that can be used for evcc vehicle data. This is only needed if the evcc volvo implementation does not fit your car (e.g. new electric models, that only support api version 2). This version implements the OTP login, like the original VOLVO App does, to access volvo electric vehicle API v2.

Important note: The Volvo api currently ONLY works in these countries

OTP Authentication

As of version v1.9.0, this addon uses the same OTP authentication as the Volvo app. The following steps are required for authentication in exactly this order:

1. Setup volvo2evcc, by checking out this repository
2. Enter your settings into settings.json and start volvo2evcc with Python3 (python3 main.py)
3. The script logs in using your credentials from settings.json and an e-mail to your VOLVO ID mail should be generated
4. Now, open your mailbox and copy your OTP Code
5. Paste the OTP code to the prompt on the command line
6. Now the script should be running and you can send the process to the background by typing ^Z bg and close the terminal

NOTE: Needs to be run with python3. If you get error messages on startup this is typically, because some library is not installed. Check the error message, copy the name of the library and do pip3 install NAME_OF_LIBRARY

evcc setup

evcc.yaml: This example assumes that the service is running on 192.168.0.1 port 8182. Your VIN is used to distingiush different cars, in case that you have multiple cars registered with your VOLVO ID. So please replace "YOUR_VIN" with the correct VIN, even if you have only one car.

TODOs

• URL and PORT is currently hardcoded in main.py - Please change it there to your needs.
• Cleanup code and configs from mqtt code
• Check needed libraries to add them to the README

NOTE: This is the first version, currently tested with my car. Working so far, but still in ALPHA status
