We Connect / myAudi / MyŠKODA / My SEAT / My Cupra - Simply stay connected
IMPORTANT:
(updated: 19-12-2024)
I’m considering to pull the support for these apps and also take them out of the Homey App Store
Every month these apps are breaking and there’s no official API neither do I have the ability to fix the issues which are there.
There’s a slight chance that Homey can have a partnership with Cariad (The vendor who’s maintaining the VAG Api’s). But if not I will take these apps down
These apps consume a lot of my time and there’s nothing in it for me to support these anymore as long as there’s no official API available
A definitive decision about this will be made after CES in January.

Q1:What is a S-PIN A1: A S-PIN is a pincode which is required to trigger certain things like lock/unlock or climatisation. This is present for most cars (< 2022). If your car doesn’t have a S-PIN you can leave it empty on the install screen. Models like the new Audi E-tron or VW ID cars don’t require a S-PIN
Hi guys.
I have seen suggestions to implement Volkswagen We Connect (Well, I would like to see the entire VAG group of VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat) with Homey. But the requirement is quite old and I would like to think that at leasts Volkswagens GTE models are quite frequently used in Europe. And with the the all new ID3 and the upcoming ID4, I can really see a need for this integration.
I am actually a bit amazed that there are just two Homey owners that are requesting this app/integration. The ID3 aren’t maybe sold in that big numbers, yet, but still. You have the Passat GTE and Golf GTE that I guess are quite popular in Athoms home country.
I wouldn’t mind reaching out to him, but I know nothing about programming, so I don’t know what to say to him. Since he is a HA user, I don’t believe that he will be interested in developing a Homey app
Yes certainly @robertklep. I apparently put it in the wrong way. The comparison is a bit harsh though (rather fitting a Mercedes engine in a Volkswagen car). At least you don’t need to start from scratch I guess, the API is tested and working, the methods how to communicate shouldn’t diff too much. Right?
Your are correct. Seems that even VW have some issues to develop or maintain their app, so I guess we will need to wait until they get this sorted first.
