Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone is currently working on a **Homey integration for the BYD Seal U** , specifically for reading the **State of Charge (SoC)**. I’m using Homey to control my charging setup and would like to charge the car more efficiently. The challenge is that the BYD Seal U does **not expose SoC via AC charging** , and as far as I know there is **no Homey app or API** available for BYD vehicles. My goal would be: - read SoC from the car - use SoC‑based triggers in flows - avoid charging to 100% - combine SoC with dynamic tariffs / PV surplus - make charging more efficient overall Is anyone already working on: - a BYD Seal U integration? - a general BYD API connector? - reverse‑engineering the BYD app endpoints? - an OBD‑based workaround that works during AC charging? Any pointers, experiments, or early projects would be very welcome. Thanks! ---

I waited so long for a Homey app for MG SAIC, but then I gave it a try myself using Claude AI Pro and now Ive built the app myself through vibe coding just by asking it to create a Homey app based on the Home Assistant integration ---

Hi Jeroen, did you ever get an answer to your question, and have you made any progress in your search for a BYD integration for Homey?" ---

I am also waiting if someone can create a BYD app.🙏 ---

Oh yes, it would be great to have the possibility to connect my BYD to Homey 👍 ---
