Well, as predicted, they closed the loophole so the app is broken again… As mentioned earlier, as soon as someone finds a solution, it’ll be fixed within a few days. I’ll keep monitoring GitHub for possible solutions, but I’m not actively going to research for another fix, because this loophole was such a stupid security failure on their side, a clear result of the migration to their new system.

Hi

This is for information purposes only.

It is possible to retrieve the data listed below via Enode if you have an ABRP Premium subscription and their API key (ABRP API Documentation), along with the user\_token, which can be found in the ABRP mobile app.

I have implemented this myself using HomeyScript and a scheduled job that runs every 10 minutes.

id5\_soc  
id5\_range  
id5\_charging  
id5\_dcfc  
id5\_power  
id5\_charge\_target  
id5\_speed  
id5\_odometer  
id5\_heading  
id5\_lat  
id5\_lon  
id5\_elevation  
id5\_connected  
id5\_ext\_temp  
id5\_last\_updated  
id5\_data\_age\_min

The values provide information about the vehicle’s state of charge, range, charging status, charging power, driving data, GPS position, external temperature, and data freshness.

Would you be willing to share an example of your script?

Thanks for this. So a premium ABRP account is required for this to work. Also it looks like you aren’t able to start and stop charging which was the main benefit of the original app for me.

Looking at Enode documentation it seems to depend on a specific car model which capabilities are available:

> **[Enode Developers](https://developers.enode.com/brands/learn/VOLKSWAGEN)**

For my ID.3 starting/stopping charge is available, but of course, I need to try the script to confirm it as working:

I tried to add my car (VW ID.4) by ABRP, but that generates a connection error (verbindingsfout, invalid oauth scope). Any idea what went wrong? I do have a premium account.

Its a bit confusing for users to understend Renes HomeyScript for all.

You need to add to HomeyScript files (codes)

1. abrp\_setup.js
2. abrp\_telemetri.js

Add this: (abrp\_setup.js)

```auto

Create API: [Go into this link](https://abetterrouteplanner.com/home/app/api-keys/telemetry)

User token you will find:

1. Open the ABRP App on your phone ( **!! This does not work on the Web** )
2. Log in if you haven’t already
3. Navigate to your car settings
4. Click **“Edit Car Connection Details”**
5. Under **“Generic”** as the car connection type, click **“Link”**
6. This will create and display your User Token
7. Copy the User Token for use in Homey

You need to run your first HomeyScript ONCE

A BONUS for estimate GOM:

```auto
// =============================================================================
// Estimated max range at 100% (Based on ABRP variables)
// =============================================================================

async function main() {
    // Fetch all logic variables from Homey
    const varsObj = await Homey.logic.getVariables();
    const vars = Object.values(varsObj);

    // Find the specific variables updated by the ABRP script
    const socVar = vars.find(v => v.name === "id5_soc");
    const rangeVar = vars.find(v => v.name === "id5_range");

    // Check that the variables actually exist in the system
    if (!socVar || !rangeVar) {
        console.error("Cannot find the variables 'id5_soc' or 'id5_range'. Make sure abrp_setup.js has been run.");
        return false;
    }

    // Extract the current values
    const currentSoc = socVar.value;
    const currentRange = rangeVar.value;

    if (currentSoc == null || currentRange == null) {
        console.error("Missing values for either battery or range. Check that the telemetry script is fetching data.");
        return false;
    }

    if (currentSoc <= 0) {
        console.error("Battery percentage is 0. Cannot divide by zero.");
        return 0;
    }

    // Perform the calculation and round to the nearest whole kilometer
    const estimatedMaxRange = Math.round((currentRange / currentSoc) * 100);

    // Log to the console for troubleshooting
    console.log(`Current battery: ${currentSoc}%`);
    console.log(`Current range: ${currentRange} km`);
    console.log(`Estimated range at 100%: ${estimatedMaxRange} km`);

    // Return the value so it becomes available as a Tag/Token in Flows
    return estimatedMaxRange;
}

Hi,

I’m using the Volkswagen Homey app (v1.1.32) with a VW ID.4.

I’ve noticed that vehicle data can sometimes be more than 10 hours old in Homey, even though the polling interval is set to 10 minutes.

If I use “Wake vehicle and update data” in the official Volkswagen app, the data is refreshed almost immediately and Homey also gets updated data afterwards.

Has anyone found a way to:

- Force a vehicle refresh from Homey?
- Wake the vehicle through a Flow card or HomeyScript?
- Improve plug-in and charging detection when the vehicle is sleeping?

I can see Flow triggers such as:

- Plug connected/disconnected
- Charging started/stopped
- Timestamp updated

but I cannot find any action card for refreshing vehicle data.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ik asked Volkswagen why they stopped granting access to third party software like the Homey App and they answered:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/e/5ecd5ae11d8088e4bb4068aaf9679d36429d990a.png)

So there must be a documented and standardized interface.  
I just can’t find it…

I know where to find it: behind a _very_ high paywall at Cariad 😉

I’ve had multiple conversations with Cariad, the company behind the IT infrastructure for the VAG brands, and they’re willing to provide API access… as long as someone is willing to pay for it.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: at Homey, we don’t pay for API access. Our partnerships are built around mutual benefit for both parties, and that’s how we prefer to work.

I can’t share exact numbers, but let’s just say the pricing is measured in multiple euros per vehicle, per month. Excluding set-up and maintenance fees. That adds up very quickly when you’re talking about a smart home integration with thousands of users.

Everything is a business I guess..

It is just sad that those of us who pay for VW online services to use their App need somehow to pay again for the same data to be available in a different platform. Somehow something feels incorrect here.

@Doekse have you maybe tried talking to VW directly if they would be willing to make an official Homey App for this integration?

Does the mobile app use some kind of CAPTCHA? There are captcha solver services which only cost a few euros for 1000 solves (usually you only need to solve the captcha once, since the official mobile app usually also only logs in once). However, bypassing a CAPTCHA like this is usually against the company’s (Volkswagen) ToS though.

@Doekse Wouldn’t it be possible to claim that in order for VW to follow the EU Data Act we should be able to get this integration without extra cost, since we are already paying for the online services for the vehicle?

AFAIK the EU laws (GDPR) only require companies to provide an export of all data on request by the user, and to provide an option for the user to request deletion of their data, but a (free) API is not required as far as I know.
