Hi, found this app a bit too late. I guess…
I made this one after a while of frustration and having a local HA version running: Nissan Leaf Connect | Homey
Love you work on this one

Is there any plan to support non-electric vehicles in the app, for example a 2023 Nissan Qashqai?
Sorry for the late reply. I suppose I could do something, I just didn’t think there would be so much value. Currently the app mostly bring value by being able to get the battery SoC and to start the HVAC. It can also read the lock status but it cannot lock/unlock (I really would like that but haven’t had time to look into it). What functionality would you like for the Qashqai (that is currently supported in the Nissan app)?
Thanks for the detailed reply!
For a non-EV like a 2023 Qashqai, I’d be most interested in the following functionality ideally similar to what the official NissanConnect Services app already offers for Qashqai and other Nissan models:
Lock status - this is supported in the official NissanConnect Services app for Qashqai.
Remaining range / distance to empty — remote status of fuel and estimated range.
Remote horn & lights (honk/flash) — useful for finding the car; NissanConnect Services supports remote horn and light activation.
Geolocation / distance to home — the official app has a vehicle locator and can show the car’s position on a map or guide you to it.
Alright, I suppose I can add some of that. I know the HA app (that was the source of inspiration for me) has some of that for non-electric vehicles. Perhaps you can help me test it? My only problem is that I have limited time to work on this. I will let you know when I have something you can test.
That would be great, I’d be happy to help with testing.
Just let me know whenever you have something ready, and I’ll gladly test it on my Qashqai and provide detailed feedback.
Really appreciate your work on this project!

Hi! First of all, a big thank you for making this app!
I ran into some issues after installing the app. I can’t find a suitable device, and the app doesn’t give me the option to enter any login credentials. 
What am I missing here?

Hi! You add the account when you add the device. So go ahead and try to add the vehicle as a device in Homey and then you will be asked for the account details.
Edit: You should select ”Nissan EV” if you have an electric car (only ones supported by this app).

For the last two days I have noticed issues with the app. I have a flow that should stop charging when SoC is at 85% but it didn’t stop until about 95%. I also noticed that the app never detected that charging had stopped even though it stopped four hours ago. According to the log the refresh commands and status polls during this period were successful.
Later, I noticed that the car didn’t respond when trying to start the HVAC either.
Then I restarted the app and then the charging status was updated correctly, but still it was not possible to start the HVAC.
Then I tried Nissan’s app and I had problems there too. Couldn’t start climate control and couldn’t refresh battery status. No idea what’s going on, if it’s my car or if it’s Nissan servers that is the problem.
Anyone else noticed something similar the last couple of days?
OK! Thanks for your quick answer.
However, when I try to add a new device, a NissanConnect-related device does not appear. I only see the two devices shown in the picture. Is there a specific setting that needs to be enabled for this Nissan device to appear? I’m using Homey Early 2019 (v12.11.0), if that makes any difference.

Don’t use the search field, just scroll down and tap the NissanConnect app.

Aha, found it. Works like a charm! Thanks!

I think the problem I have seen the last couple of days might be related to a poor 12V battery. This week I have not driven to work and only shorter distances. This in combination with a 12V battery that might be starting to give up, and the app’s behavior to poll every 10 minutes could perhaps make the voltage to go too low for the telematic to work.
I have an idea to add two flow cards for start/stop the 10 minute battery refresh/poll instead of automatically start when the cable is plugged in. That gives the user more control of how much refresh/poll is done and helps to avoid the 12V battery drain. Any thoughts on that?
Caution! I have noticed a serious bug where in some cases the app could start hammering refresh requests every second if the server responds with e.g. 503. I would consider not using the app until this has been fixed. You can check the error log in the devices settings to see if it happened to you.

OK! I can confirm that the 503-error repetition also happened to me.
Thanks for the warning, I logged out from app. The 503 hammering issue was not seen in the logs for my Ariya.
Looking forward to next version!
I hope I will have a fix in the coming days, I’m currently testing it.
I published 0.0.6 containing a minimal fix for the refresh hammering sometimes seen in response to the 503 server error. Hopefully it will avoid that issue.
I’m also working on a complete refactoring of the error handling to make it more robust. It’s completed and I have done some testing and it seems to work fine. I also plan to add possibility for the user to use device settings to tune how the battery refresh commands will be handled.
