Home Assistant Renault 5 Card

[Topolino65]

After many, many hours of testing and code compiling, I have completed a Renault 5 dashboard card for Home Assistant which now runs totally independently and leverages the API directly, just like the My Renault and Kelec apps do. Unlike the mobile apps however, whenever data is unavailable from the Renault server it falls back to cached data since the last communication and automatically updates it when the link is restored, which sets it apart. It also automatically refreshes your token so it does not expire and keeps you logged in to the server, with numerous automations, scripts and warnings if it detects an issue. Vehicle status now displays, Battery SOC, Available Energy Levels, Charging Plug Status, Charger Status, Charging Rate, Time Remaining for a charge, Charger Flap Status, HVAC Status. Also it now shows Preconditioning values you set in the My Renault app or in the car itself such as Target Temp, Steering Wheel/Seats Heat on/off. Min & Max Charge Levels, Stat & End Time of charge desired.

The "Remote Control section allows you to start/stop HVAC, beep the horn or flash the lights, just like the mobile apps. In addition there is a "Last Charge" section that shows all the data captured from your most recent charge, whether at home or on a public charger. A sensor update facility, test charge function and multiple error trapping features are also included, as well as 21 colour variant images to match your exact car and trim level. Finally I have included a VERY comprehensive installation guide AND a full user manual as well. I would really like Epenet's feedback and maybe he can use some of my code to add to the functionality of his offical integration, which does not inlcude all the endpoints I have running.

Why don't you contribute to this repo to add the new/missing endpoints?

Hi Epenet, Thanks for your reply. I would love to help and/or work with you. Not that familiar with GitHub. Most of my code relies on shell scripts that for the most part try to bypass CLI prompts or authentication problems, to keep you logged in to the API, so that you can retireve the endpoints and feed RAW sensors without swamping the server and cause rate limiting (I have set polling intervals to account for that). The problem is the shell scripts are not foolproof and I am sure there is a better way to do this, as you have mastered with your integration. I am guessing you use a much more robust method to combat that. probably beyond the scope of my knowledge of python. Would be happy for you to take a look at my code and scripts and modifiy them as necessary or use them in your integration. Would love to build my own integration but I honestly would not know where to start and it would seem easier if I could offer some help (albeit limited) so yours would comprehensively be the best option for anyone wanting to display their Renault 5 and exploiting all the end points. If you have the time look at the user guide in the ZIP file as it explains better what the card can do. Were that same functionality to be made possible in the integration it would be brilliant. You will also see from my installation readme, that it is way too clunky for most people to install, so if you could use some elements of my code for your own purposes, that would be helpful to you, then that would seem a better solution. ....Regards...Rod
