# Homebridge Volkswagen ID.x plugin This is a plugin for Homebridge to allow controlling your Volkswagen ID series (ID.3, ID.4, ID.5) car through iOS' HomeKit. Uses the [`npm-vwconnectidapi`](https://github.com/adhyh/npm-vwconnectidapi) module under the hood to communicate with the Volkwagen backend. ## 405 error Login Failed If you see 405 error Login Failed in your homebridge log, you can fix it by going to http://myvolkswagen.de, login, and accept the (new) terms and conditions. You may need to login multiple times and accept T&C each time. ## Installation ``` $ npm i homebridge-vwconnectid -g ``` Homebridge plugins need to be installed globally, so the `-g` is mandatory. ## Upgrading from 1.0.5 to 1.1.x The config has slightly changed. the `locationMotionSensors` block is not used anymore. Instead, the `destinations` block is used to configure a location as a destination for navigation (if `address` is specified) and/ or as a location aware motion trigger (if `notificationRadius` is specified). Migrating from 1.0.5 to 1.1.x, if you give the locations the same name, the old location motion sensor accessory will be reused (you probably want that). ## Speed Communication between you and the backend and between the backend and the car is slow. Any changes take up to a minute or so to propagate to the car. ## Configuration First, you need a working Homebridge installation. Once you have that working, edit `~/.homebridge/config.json` and add a new accessory: ``` "accessories": [ ... { "name": "We Connect ID", "platform": "WeConnectID", "weconnect": { "username": "We Connect username", "password": "We Connect password", "vin": "VIN OF YOUR CAR" }, "options": { "logLevel": "NONE", "apiPort": 1234, "chargingAccessory": "Charging", "climatisationAccessory": "Climatisation", "remainingRangeAccessory": "Remaining km", "destinations": [ { "name": "Home", "lat": 52.123456, "lon": 5.123456, "address": { "country": "Nederland", "street": "My street 4", "zipCode": "1234 AA", "city": "My town" }, "notificationRadius": 300 }, { "name": "Work", "lat": 52.234567, "lon": 4.234567, "address": { "country": "Nederland", "street": "Cool street 75", "zipCode": "2345 BB", "city": "Your city" }, "notificationRadius": 200 } ], "settingSwitches": [ { "name": "Reduced AC", "setting": "reducedAC" }, { "name": "Plug Unlock", "setting": "autoUnlockPlug" }, { "name": "Climatization at unlock", "setting": "climatizationAtUnlock" }, { "name": "Window Heating", "setting": "climatisationWindowHeating" }, { "name": "Front Left Zone", "setting": "climatisationFrontLeft" }, { "name": "Front Right Zone", "setting": "climatisationFrontRight" } ], "eventMotionSensors": [ { "name": "Car unsafe state", "event": "statusNotSafe" } ] } }, ] ``` * The `name` will be the identifier that you can use, for example, in Siri commands; * Replace `weconnect` options with the correct values; * set `logLevel` to `NONE`, `DEBUG`, `INFO` or `ERROR`. Set to NONE if you think backend is too chatty. Defaults to ERROR. * set `apiPort` to a port number to expose the weconnect API at /status on the HB machine. * Set charging, remaining range, and climatisation accessory names. Remove these options to avoid creating the accessories alltogether. * Select setting switches to be exposed by Homekit. * You can add locations to `destinations` block. * * If a `notificationRadius` is specified a motion sensor will be created with `name` that triggers whenever the car is parked within `notificationRadius` distance around the location (GPS `lat` and `lon`). Please respect the driver's privacy if using this option. * * If an `address` block is specified a switch will be created that sends the destination to your car's navigation system. * You can add even more motion sensors to `eventMotionSensors`. These create a motion sensor with `name` that triggers on a preset event. You can choose from the following list of events: Events: * 'statusNotSafe' - car is parked and doors remain unlocked or windows opened for >5 minutes. * 'locked' - Indicates lock state * 'parked' - Car is parked. Emits parking position as argument. * 'notParked' - Car is on the move. * 'chargePurposeReached' - Target state of charge reached. * 'chargingStarted' - Charging started. * 'chargingStopped' - Charging stopped. * 'noExternalPower' - Plug is connected and external power does not become available (charging cannot be started). * 'climatisationStopped' - Climatisation stopped. * 'climatisationStarted' - Climatisation started. * 'climatisationCoolingStarted' - Climatisation started cooling. * 'climatisationHeatingStarted' - Climatisation started heating. * 'climatisationTemperatureUpdated' - Target climatisation temperature changed. * 'backendError' - Backend connection error state. Motion detected = error. ## Charging accessory * Creates a switch for charging start and stop. * The switch contains a Lightbulb service to (visually) indicate current state of charge in percent. It can also be used to set the target charge percentage of the battery (>= 50%). * Contains a BatteryLevel service, so you can ask siri as well * Creates a motion sensor that triggers when the target charge level is reached ## Motion sensors * One motion sensor is created that triggers whenever your car is parked and remains in an unsafe state (windows open, doors unlocked) for >5 minutes. ## Climatisation * Set climatisation temperature * Set climatisation on and off. Setting the temperature doesn't automatically trigger on/ off state. ## Changelog * 1.1.4: * * Fix status update bug due to VW backend update * * Add RESTful api for various uses * 1.1.3: * * Bugfix error messages when other driver is using the car, and some other minor logging changes. * * Log lost/ made connection with backend only once * * Added `backendError` motion sensor to indicate connection state with Volkswagen server. * * Fixed `NoExternalPower` event * 1.1.2: * * Bugfix parked event * * Less verbose error messages when VW backend is unavailable * * Most event motion sensors keep their state as long as the state doesn't change. Only `chargePurposeReached`, all `-Started` and `-Stopped`, and `climatisationTemperatureUpdated` trigger, then switch off again after 10 seconds. * 1.1.1: Bugfix location motion sensor * 1.1.0: * * Added switches to send a destination to your car's navigation system. * * Added light sensor (lux) that indicates the remaining range in km. * * Added 'locked' event (motion sensor) that changes state with door (un)lock. * * 'noExternalPower' event triggers when plug is connected and external power does not become available (charging cannot be started). * * Prettified backend & plugin log messages. * 1.0.5: Bugfix events. * 1.0.4: Add setting switches for climatisation and charging. Set charging 'brightness' for target battery level.
