Hello guys,

This topic can be used for support questions, feature suggestions and bug reports related to the Skoda App for Homey.

The app itself can be found in the Homey store on the following locations:

  • Stable version: not yet available
  • Test version: Skoda | Homey (use at your own risk)

This app makes uses of the GitHub - tillsteinbach/CarConnectivity-connector-skoda: Connector for MySkoda for CarConnectivity · GitHub library for the connectivity.

I’ve developed this app in a full open-source mindset, the source code is available under a GPL-license, meaning that everyone is allowed to use it provided that they release their source code under a GPL-compliant license. You can find the source code of the application in my GitLab repository at:

Any issues which are found in the app, or features which I’m still considering to be adopted, can be found in the GitLab issue tracker at:

Anyone is free to contribute towards the app, you can simply fork the repository on GitLab and create a merge request with your changes, I’ll review them and most likely include them as part of the app.

If you want, you can buy me a beer, or send me a donation using:

I really hope you enjoy the app, and any feedback is always welcome! I try to respond to all requests as soon as possible, but be aware that I have a regular job too, which might imply that sometimes it takes a bit longer then on other times.

This is my first python-based Homey app, so it might not work as expected yet. I’ll tune it based on feedback from the users.

Wow, very promising work. Login was handled promptly!

I have question about how data is updated, will a Homey flow wake up car like the mobile app does and cause “to many requests”?

Or is data only what is updated on Skoda servers from last car wake up?

@KennyMoens I sent you a beer!

Hey @Morgan

The app relies on the CarConnectivy python library for that. I do a manual sync with the api, and then listen for changes.

As this comes from the Skoda servers, I am assuming it works like the official app. Based on my tests it did not wake up the car for the data fields.

I didn’t test the button to start climatization fully yet. That obviously wakes the car.

Kind regards

What can be implemented more?

Car position? That would be very useful.

Hey,

I am still digging deeper in the library to see what is supported.

Anything the library exposes should be possible to expose to homey too.

First want to get some basic stuff stable so that I can release a first stable version.

Kind regards
