Home Assistant addon for connecting AAOS Volvos

Volvo2Mqtt

This component establishes a connection between the newer AAOS Volvo cars and Home Assistant via MQTT.
Maybe this component works also with other Volvo cars. Please try out the native Volvo integration before using this component! If the native component doesn't work for your car, try this mqtt bridge.

Home Assistant thread can be found here.

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 volvo2Mqtt, either via Docker, or via HA addon (take a look at the "Setup" section below)

2. Fill in your settings and start volvo2Mqtt

3. Your log will show the following lines
   Waiting for otp code... Please check your mailbox and post your otp code to the following mqtt topic "volvoAAOS2mqtt/otp_code". Retry 0/15
Waiting for otp code... Please check your mailbox and post your otp code to the following mqtt topic "volvoAAOS2mqtt/otp_code". Retry 1/15
etc ...

4. Now, open your mailbox and copy your OTP Code

5. Open HomeAssistant and search for the entity ID text.volvo_otp

6. Paste your OTP into the text entity and press Enter
   6a. (optional) If your OTP cannot be safed, try to paste your OTP code via MQTT to the following topic: volvoAAOS2mqtt/otp_code

   OTP Post Script

   1. Safe the following script in your script section
   2. Go to https://yourHAUrl/developer-tools/service
   3. Search for "Post Volvo OTP"
   4. Tick "OTP" and fill in your OTP
   5. Run this service
   

        alias: Post Volvo OTP
        sequence:
          - service: mqtt.publish
            metadata: {}
            data:
              topic: volvoAAOS2mqtt/otp_code
              payload: "{{ otp }}"
        mode: single
        fields:
          otp:
            selector:
              text: null
            name: OTP
            description: Volvo OTP
   

7. If everything has worked, your addon is now authenticated. In the future, OTP authentication only needs to be done when updating, not when restarting the container.

Setup

Docker:

Just install this addon with the following command. Please note to fill in your settings inside the environment variables.

docker run -d --pull=always -e CONF_updateInterval=300 -e CONF_babelLocale='de' -e CONF_mqtt='@json {"broker": "", "username": "", "password": "", "port": 1883}' -e CONF_volvoData='@json {"username": "", "password": "", "vin": "", "vccapikey": ["key1", "key2"], "odometerMultiplier": 1, "averageSpeedDivider": 1, "averageFuelConsumptionMultiplier": 1}' -e TZ='Europe/Berlin' --name volvo2mqtt ghcr.io/dielee/volvo2mqtt:latest

HA Add-On:

Here is what every option means:
