carconnectivity 0.8.1

Library for retrieving information from car connectivity services

CarConnectivity

CarConnectivity will become the successor of WeConnect-python in 2025 with similar functionality but support for other brands beyond Volkswagen!

Python API to connect to various car services. If you are not a developer and ended up here you probably want to check out a project using this library (see below).

Projects in which the library is used

• CarConnectivity-cli: A commandline interface to interact with your Vehicles
• CarConnectivity-MQTT: A MQTT Client that provides Vehicle data to the MQTT Broker of your choice (e.g. your home automation solution such as ioBroker, FHEM or Home Assistant)

Supported Car Brands

CarConenctivity uses a connector plugin architecture to enable access to the services of various brands. Currently known connector plugins are:

Brand	Connector	Maintainer
Skoda	CarConnectivity-connector-skoda	tillsteinbach
Volkswagen	CarConnectivity-connector-volkswagen	tillsteinbach
Volkswagen (North America only)	CarConnectivity-connector-volkswagen-na	zackcornelius

Audi	CarConnectivity-connector-audi	acfischer42
Tronity	CarConnectivity-connector-tronity	tillsteinbach

If you know of a connector not listed here let me know and I will add it to the list. If you are a python developer and willing to implement a connector for a brand not listed here, let me know and I try to support you as good as possible

Configuration

In your carconnectivity.json configuration add a section for the connectors you like to use like this:

{
    "carConnectivity": {
        "connectors": [
            {
                "type": "volkswagen",
                "config": {
                    "username": "[e-mail]",
                    "password": "testpassword123"
                }
            },
            {
                "type": "skoda",
                "config": {
                    "username": "[e-mail]",
                    "password": "testpassword123"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

The detailed configuration options of the connectors can be found in their README files.
