if they are ok with not having the perfect images for the app, then yes that might be the case, as this is the only issue for Homey to not accept this app.
Just a heads-up: for Community Apps, we’re not too strict about following the guidelines to the letter—that’s mainly for apps built by official partners.
You can find all the guidelines for publishing your app to the Homey App Store here. If you need help creating assets, feel free to request assistance from our in-house icon designer here.
We would love to see the App pop-up in the Homey App Store.
This was the input from Homey but I have done a request for the images now
Reviewer
Dear Kjetil Vetlejord,
Thank you for submitting your app XPENG Car Manager for review.
Unfortunately, your app has not passed the certification process, due to the following:
— Your app’s images do not represent your app very well and it won’t look appealing in the Homey App Store. Please make sure your images are visually appealing and represent your app, consider using images similar to those used on the Xpeng website. Some good examples to maybe use are:
— Your driver icon seems like a drawing of a car. Please provide a unique driver image that depicts the device it supports. Check out our App Store Guidelines for more information: Guidelines | Homey Apps SDK
If you do not have suitable icons for your app or drivers we can provide a handmade icon for you. You can request an icon by creating an issue in the Homey Vectors repository. Please include as much information about your app as possible and include pictures of the devices.
Once you have solved these issues, you can submit a new version for certification again.
This looks really awesome! However, installation instructions from Homey community store describes enabeling SSH. It seems that is not an option on the Homey’s from before 2023. So it looks like I’m stuck. If it makes it into Homey App Store with support for the 2019 homeys, it would be fantastic! Had my Xpeng for a year and have waited for integration!
Also - i can see it’s all about charging. How about adding possibility to control functions like pre-heating, or mabe both trigger “Combo’s” (coming in XOS 5.4.5) and also have starting combos trigger things in Homey? That would be really powerful! Then one could make a lot of things happen. Making a “empty” combo, and have homey perform actions when run? Like open garage door and such?
You can use Homey Community Space for Pro 201x models.
But, the Xpeng app is not published yet.
AFAIK the idea was to have both community stores publish the same apps.
It took me some time to connect my car so here is a quick guide:
1: Create an account https://enode.com/
2: Ask for Production upgrade
3: Create "new client in the dashboard
4: Get API “Client ID” & “Client Secret”
5: Make a bat file: Remember to Insert client ID and Secret
@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:," %%a in ('curl https://oauth.production.enode.io/oauth2/token ^
-X POST ^
-u {YOUR_CLIENT_ID}:{YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET} ^
-d "grant_type=client_credentials"') do set "access_token=%%~a"
echo %access_token%
curl https://enode-api.production.enode.io/users/1ab23cd4/link ^
-X POST ^
-H "Authorization: Bearer %access_token%" ^
-H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
-d "{ \"vendorType\": \"vehicle\", \"scopes\": [ \"vehicle:read:data\", \"vehicle:read:location\", \"vehicle:control:charging\" ], \"language\": \"en-US\", \"redirectUri\": \"https://localhost:3000\" }"
6: Copy the URL in the response to your browser and follow the UI to login to you XPENG account.
7: Now go to homey and add new device XPENG Car manager
Insert YOUR_CLIENT_ID & YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
Thanks for this @Kongedam I was about to post a homeyscript to do this but you made it easy for most people so lets see if this is good enough I would like to make this included in the app but I haven’t yet figured out how to do this in one go.
@Kjetil_Vert when I’m trying to add my car in Homey (after creating the Enode account), it says that it failed to generate vehicle link. I’m kind of noob on this level and have never used Enode before, I followed the instructions but have probably missed something… You think you could help me find out what? Thanks.
Is it just me or is the update time really slow/bad?
I have set the refresh interval to 1 min in the app. But it don’t fetch the new data. I compared it with real data from postman there battery level is 96% but in the app it is 94% and last update 31 min ago.
Any ideas what could be the cause of this?
Does the authentication need to be refreshed with new bearer token? @Kjetil_Vert
Had my Xpeng for a year and have waited for integration!
