Well, if the Volkswagen app allows you to do this, then I can probably choose another capability that your Volkswagen app can show you instead. So, - Can you see the charging power in the Volkswagen app? - Can you toggle charging in the Volkswagen app? - What other capabilities do you see besides charging power? ---

Hello. In the native Volkswagen app, I can: Change charging power from 5A to MAX, current is 13A. I can toggle charging on/off. Thanks! ---

This app is great, works perfectly with my e-golf! One question: I don’t see the start/stop charging option yet, is it still in testing? Would really love to have this functionality. ---

Status code 5xx means Volkswagen is undergoing maintenance or experiencing an overload. It has nothing to do with the app update, as the section where I submit requests to Volkswagen remains unchanged 🙂 It’s probably just a matter of patience until they get their systems up and running again! ---

Hi. Thanks for making this app, I have missed the connection to my car since the VW-connect app was depreciated. I have started to migrate my flows to this new app, but there are some useful cards/tags that is missing from the old app. For ex: - Is vehicle home yes/no - Estimated max range Is that possible to add (maybe Martijnpoppen can guide you if you cannot “find” them) ---

Hi, please post any feature requests here, thanks! > **[Bloemendaal/app.bloemendaal.volkswagen](https://github.com/Bloemendaal/app.bloemendaal.volkswagen/issues)** > > Homey app that adds support for Volkswagen cars in Europe - Bloemendaal/app.bloemendaal.volkswagen Also, I don’t think I’m going to add is vehicle home, since that’s an opinion based on what you consider home. You can use the distance from home to determine if you consider your vehicle home. For me, that’d be always within 20m of the Homey, but for someone in a narrow street in Amsterdam with limited parking space, home might be within 500m of the Homey. But within 500m for me can also be at my parents place. So you can implement your own comparison logic based on the meters from home. ---

That’s strange
 I think some capabilities did not register properly. It should work for the ID.4. Can you try to reboot the app to trigger the capability registration again? Settings \> Apps \> Volkswagen \> App settings \> Reboot app ---

Just tried to reboot the app, but I can’t find the capability unfortenantely. I’m not sure if it would help to reinstall the device, but I would like to avoid that since it will mess up my flows. For info, on the old VW-connect device, I can see the latitude and longitud capabilities, so the car did have them before (they just don’t update anymore in that app, since it is depreciated). ---

I just tried change the language to english and rebooted the Homey, and now the distance from home capability showed up. So I tried to change back to Swedish to see if the language was the problem, but it was still there. So I cannot say what he fix was, because I tried reboot the Homey yesterday without changing language, without any success. Anyway, it is solved and thanks for making this excellent app! ---

Good to hear! Tomorrow, I finally have a full day to fix some of these issues. I’ll try to link this to the repair function so you can retrigger the initialise function. I think the issue is that if the car didn’t provide the information when the app/homey boots, it’ll never try to re-initialise these missing capabilities đŸ€” I’m also going to add an optional feature in the settings to start logging so when you create a diagnostics report, you can share the output of your car so I can better understand why these seemingly random issues pop up. ---

Hi Bloemendaal, congratulations with this app, great work. I have a Skoda Elroq and noticed the app uses the same ‘VAG’ network/server, but I cannot connect with your app. I would love to work together on trying to modify and maintaining an app for Skoda, let me know if you are ok with that. (I published my first app today đŸ€© while I bought my Homey Pro 1 month ago) ---

Hi, thanx for making the app. I was looking for this when Martijn Poppen stopped the development of the other app. I have an id 4 and the app works great. I also was looking for a variable for when the car is parked. I only found ‘vehicle active’. I assume that it means ignition on/off? ---

Hi everyone! Here’s a little update: **Currently [in testing](https://homey.app/a/app.bloemendaal.volkswagen/test):** - Optional logging setting for everyone that experienced issues. You can now go to device → advanced settings → enable logging. After enabling logging, you can go to apps → Volkswagen → send diagnostic report to share the Volkswagen responses with me. This helps me understand why some features work for me and not for you. @Olex @KoenvdL - Fixed an issue where locking/unlocking doesn’t work on vehicles that should support it. - Internal improvements where multiple capabilities failed to register if one of them was giving an invalid response. Every polling interval the app now checks if a new capability should exist based on the latest response. E.g. when the car still reports that you were driving while adding the device, multiple capabilities disappeared. Thanks for reporting this @Westberg! - Fixed an issue where updating the max current AC in flows without explicitly providing the auto lock charging cable caused the flow to crash. Those values must either both be present or both be absent. Picking the unchanged option now uses the device’s capabilities to fill in the missing properties. - Fixed an issue where the update max. charging current would show you all options instead of only the options that your vehicle supports. It should now match the options you see in your app (either maximum/reduced or 5A/10A/13A/32A). - Added the `max_charging_current` capability. If your vehicle only supports the maximum and reduced options, it’ll show you 16A or 6A. **Next up:** - I created the `is_parked` capability based on the code of Martijns app as @Raymond and @Fiek requested. After the features currently on testing are released, I’ll push this feature to testing. Because of the big refactor I want to make sure everything still works as expected before pushing this release to everyone, but feel free to review and install the app in advance based on [this branch](https://github.com/Bloemendaal/app.bloemendaal.volkswagen/pull/10). I expect to release it somewhere after Christmas. Lastly, @Rob_Hagemann and I started talking about the Skoda app. Somewhere after Christmas we’ll have our first call/attempt to get this working! 🚀 Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄 ---

Hi Jasper! I only want to publish and maintain high quality apps. Since I don’t own a Cupra car, I cannot test my app and thus not guarantee that high standard. So unless you’re a developer willing to maintain a modified version of the Volkswagen app, I’m afraid I can’t help you.
