> [@Zakarias\_Mortensen](#): > > But one question, if my car (s90 2018) is supported by some of the connected vehicle endpoints, can I then add it to the current app I think everything should work except location and energy related stuff (battery percentage if hybrid). Volvo’s developer site is down today, but I recall there were some endpoints I skipped since it stated it doesnt work on Android based cars - maybe can add them now (start car I believe is one that I recall from top of head). Then again we don’t know what works and what doesnt work until we test it, and I cant do any testing myself since I don’t own a Volvo car. ---

Hi. To me its a shot in the foot to remove a function BEFORE you have a replacement ready to take over. I control my Volvo depending on many things. vehicle location, weather, my own location. If im home sick or whatever. Now I can control start stop via app and if I forget to stop it it will drain my battery very fast. Damn I’m mad at Volvo now. ---

Tjena. Du kan testa hur mycket du vill på min bil. Bara jag får tillbaka funktionerna att förvärma bilen via Homey 😉 ---

Cheers, I’ll test later today. I’d be happy to test out the app as well. ---

i totally agree. I have implemented a rather extreme solution involving AI to analyse if my car needs preheating or not so this is very disappointing since I almost took my cars functionality via the API for granted. ---

Can’t you connect your vehicle with connected vehicle with the API provided from volvo developer site? Then you can use “climitization start” as a flow card in your flows to start the pre heating on your volvo?😊 ---

Great work Richard! Hopefully I will get it to work with the new API and your updated app. Never got passed the “timeout” issue… ---

Just to report back regarding using the app with a s90 from 2018, it works fine as long as you get the API-key from Volvo (that Aldin sent earlier in this thread). Can start my heater just fine, cheers! ---

Hi, I just installed this app. In the opening post of this thread I see that the charging related actions are only available for PHEVs. I would like if I could use those for my Volvo EX40. Is there any chance this will be possible in the future? ---

Problem solved! It seams that Homey does not work so well a iPv6 networks. After disabling iPv6 on my router, I could add my vehicle. And solved some other problems as well. ---

**Hello,** I’m using Homey in combination with a Volvo EX30 and an Easee charger via E-Flux. Both devices are recognized separately, but in the new Energy view, the “Electric Vehicle” tile is not displayed. The EX30 device has `vehicleType: ELECTRIC`, but it doesn’t seem to be registered with the class `electric_vehicle`. Additionally, there is no automatic link between the EX30 and the charger. Would you consider: - Registering the EX30 as an `electric_vehicle` with energy and charging status capabilities. - (If possible) Linking the Easee charger and the EX30 within the app. This would allow Homey to correctly display the EV in the new Energy tab. Thank you in advance! ---

Thanks Richard for your excellent work! For my Volvo V70 (2014) I was happily using your app with the depreciated API. Recently I switched to the ‘new’ API (connected vehicle) and your app is working again. Great. Are there any plans to add retrieving the **odometer** value from your app? From the Volvo developer portal I can retrieve it successfully using the related JSON file. Same for some other GET/POST actions (like lights and sounds). If not, has anyone a working Homeyscript for this? I have tried, but only get authorization errors 401 (although I’m using the same API-key and Bearier on the Volvo Developer Portal successfully). Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! ---

> [@Hempie412](#): > > Registering the EX30 as an `electric_vehicle` with energy and charging status capabilities. Just released a test version where this should be fixed. I also deleted the since 3 months deprecated Volvo On Call device type. I’ll see if I get some time and review whats new over at Volvo’s devloper site. ---

@Richard_B great app, thanks for all the work.
