[APP][Pro] Volvo on Call - Connected technology that makes your life easier

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 :wink:

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?:blush:

Is there a way to show the Volvo at the Energy Dashboard?

That is a question for Athom I guess, see no mentions of a car device type in relation to Homey Energy in the docs.

Ok. Thanks for answering.

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?
