Skoda Connect 2 MQTT
This is a connector between Skoda Connect and your smart home software (best connects with Home Assistant, but should work with any MQTT-capable).
- no trip and position information right now published in MQTT
- only Skoda Connect, no VW/Seat/Audi
- only read-only operations right now; e.g. no remote safelock operation nor heating nor remote start etc.
- Python 3. Tested with 3.8.2. Newer versions will likely work, too.
- supported OS. Tested with Rapbian on a Raspi4, but any linux should work. Windows might work, too, but that is entirely untested.
- MQTT broker. SSL and authentication currently not supported yet, but will be supported in future.
- a Skoda car and a Skoda Connect account. You should avoid " and \ in your username and password; also having local characters (accents, umlauts, entirely non-latin characters) in your username (email) and/or password has not been tested at all; while it might work, your are at your own risk here.
- Create a directory writable by the user sc2mqtt is going to be executed with
- Copy the sc2mqtt.py file into this directory
- Install Python 3. Tested with Python 3.8.2, higher versions should work.
- Install following python3 modules: time, hashlib, base64, requests, pyquery, re, json, logging, asyncio, functools, paho.mqtt, pathlib, nest_asyncio. Some of them will be already available, some will be installable through your package manager software, and some you will need to install with pip3.
- Run ./sc2mqtt.py (see "Usage").
The program does not go to background, I recommend using a daemon manager. My personal choice is PM2, because it is easy to configure and to run, and everything about a user process can be configured and maintained directly by the user.
Call the sc2mqtt.py file directly. It will search for config.json in the current directory; if none found (or an invalid one), it will create a config.json.sample and exit.
Upon successful start, it will poll Skoda Connect every 60 seconds for a status update on every vehicle detected for the account and post the sensor values over MQTT.
- add more queryable content (trip data, heater, etc.)
- add MQTT authentication
- add SSL for MQTT
- make more stuff configurable
- tidy up code; it has been written for me only, so is probably difficult to read for others.
- extend funcitonality to allow "write" operations (lock/unlock, switch standby heating on/off etc.)
- extend functionality to other VAG brands (VW, Audi, Seat)
Current modus operandi: if you want to contribute, please fork the repo and create a PR - I will review and eventually merge. Creating readable code makes reviews easier and therefore faster :) Or you can buy me a coffee (click on the logo at the beginning of the page).
- original idea by https://github.com/TA2k/ioBroker.vw-connect ; some information (URLs etc.) borrowed from there, too
