For a while now, I’ve been looking for Skoda Connect integration for Home Assistant, but have not found one and have not had time to actually implement it myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, now GitHub user named lendy007 has created one based on volkswagen car net. Heres the link for lendy007s repository https:\/\/github.com\/lendy007\/homeassistant-skodaconnect<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integration can also be installed through HACS -plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usage before Home Assistant intergration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using the Skodas own MySKODA app (previously Skoda Connect) can be really a pain in the ass. It’s very slow and unreliable piece of s***. Gets things done, but not as simple as it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, to start combustion heating you have to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. start the app <\/li>
  2. select vehicle <\/li>
  3. scroll to Auxiliary Heater <\/li>
  4. tap the Auxialary Heater<\/li>
  5. tap start heating<\/li>
  6. tap start button<\/li>
  7. enter s-pin or fingerprint<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That’s seven steps to start heating! Way too much to be honest. Only good thing is that the app has also departure planner so you can actually schedule your heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Usage after Home Assistant integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Starting a heating is now much easier, just tap Heating -button from Home Assistant interface. Basically just two steps: open Home Assistant and press the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also, now you can also check all kind of information of the car in Home Assistnat interface, including fuel level, last trip stats, door\/window\/trunk statuses and even outside temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The integration even has a device tracker entity for the car, so you can check the location of the car in real-time and do automations according it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Possible automations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve not yet added any automatios for this integration, but something that I will add sooner or later:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Notify me about low fuel before leaving home<\/li>
    • Notification if door or window is opened when security mode is set on<\/li>
    • Maybe even scheduled heating could be set up automatically instead of manually entrying it from MySKODA application<\/li>
    • Integration to Google Home that I can actually tell Google to start car heating \ud83d\ude42<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
