skodaconnect 1.3.11

skodaconnect - A Python 3 library for interacting with Skoda Connect and Smartlink services.

Maintainers and contributors needed

Keeping up with changes made by Skoda/VAG to the API requires coders with access to various cars and the ability to reverse engineer changes and new features into this project. Contributions in the form of raised issues and pull requests are much needed in order to maintain the functionality for all different models of Skoda cars.

Contributors and maintainers will naturally drift away from the project once they either no longer own a Skoda or move away from Home Assistant. As a results, there aren't really any long-term maintainers or contributors still active. But we do what we can to keep the project alive and up to date.

For questions, further help or contributions you can join the Discord server at https://discord.gg/826X9jEtCh.

Skoda Connect

UNOFFICIAL library for communicating with Skoda Connect.

This project is a fork of https://github.com/robinostlund/volkswagencarnet, modified to support Skoda Connect, mimicking the MySkoda mobile app.

This is an API library for Skoda connected cars. The library is reverse engineered by intercepting HTTP requests from MySkoda app, there is no official API. Use at your own risk. If the Skoda API changes, this library may stop working without warning.

While it might work for other use-cases, the primary purpose for this library is to be consumed by the https://github.com/skodaconnect/homeassistant-skodaconnect project.

Information

Retrieve statistics about your Skoda from the Skoda Connect online service.

• Support for Skoda Connect services
• Support for SmartLink
• All (native) Skoda cars supported though newer cars (Skoda Enyaq iV) use newer API that's under development
• If your Skoda car don't work with the MySkoda app it won't work with this integration

Breaking changes

• From version 1.1.0 and onwards there has been changes to token handling, login procedure and overall mode streamlined code. Logins should now be significantly faster and reliable.

• From version 1.0.40 and onwards there has been changes to Skoda API and this might break the integration for some cars.

• From version 1.0.30 and onwards there might be breaking changes for the combustion heating/climatisation.

• Parking Heater is the auxiliary/parking heater for non-PHEV vehicles. This uses the "legacy" remotestandheizung API function. Heating is what it sounds like and ventilation is used to ventilate/cool the car.

• Auxiliary Heater is the auxiliary/parking heater for PHEV vehicles. This uses the climater API function, same as electric climatisation.

Installation

[venv-python3] user@localhost:~
$ pip install skodaconnect

Example

For an extensive example, please use the code found in example/example.py. When logged in the library will automatically create a vehicle object for every car registered to the account. Initially no data is fetched at all. Use the doLogin method and it will signin with the credentials used for the class constructor. Method get_vehicles will fetch vehicle basic information and create Vehicle class objects for all associated vehicles in account. To update all available data use the update_all method of the Connect class. This will call the update function for all registered vehicles, which in turn will fetch data from all available API endpoints.

Attributes

The Vehicle class contains all of the attributes with values fetched from the API. To access a single attribute, please see and use the example/example.py. This will print all available methods, variables and properties as well as a list of supported attributes for discovered car.

Methods

Vehicle, in the following example the car object is an object of Vehicle class:

car.set_charger(action = "start")                          # action = "start" or "stop"
car.set_charger_current(value=<int/str>                    # value = integer 1-255 or Maximum/Reduced (For PHEV: 252=Reduced and 254=Maximum)
car.set_charge_limit(value=<int>)                          # value = integer 0-100 in 10 increments. Valid values is PHEV: 0-50, EV: 50-100.
car.set_battery_climatisation(mode = False)                # mode = False or True
car.set_climatisation(mode = "auxilliary", spin="1234")    # mode = "auxilliary", "electric", "off". SPIN only needed for aux heating
car.set_climatisation_temp(temperature = 22)               # temperature = integer from 16 to 30
car.set_window_heating(action = "start")                   # action = "start" or "stop"
 - car.set_window_heating(action = "enabled")              # action = "enabled/disabled", enable/disable window heating for climatisation
car.set_lock(action = "unlock", spin = "1234")             # action = "unlock" or "lock". spin = SPIN, needed for both
car.set_plug_autounlock(setting = "on")                    # setting = "on"/"off". Enable/disable auto unlock of plug when charged
car.set_pheater(mode = "heating", spin = "1234")           # action = "heating", "ventilation" or "off". spin = SPIN, not needed for off
car.set_charge_limit(limit = 30)                           # limit = 0,10,20,30,40,50
car.set_timer_active(id = 1, action = "on"}                # id = 1, 2, 3, action = "on" or "off".
car.set_timer_schedule(id = 1,  schedule = dict)           # id = 1, 2, 3, see example for full information about schedule variable
car.set_refresh()                                          # Takes no arguments, will trigger force update

Connection:

session = aiohttp.ClientSession(headers={'Connection': 'keep-alive'})   # Create a aiohttp session object
conn = Connection(session, username, password, fulldebug)               #
conn.doLogin()                                                         # Attempt a login, returns true/false, variable conn.
conn.get_vehicles()                                                     # Attempts to fetch all vehicles associated to account.
conn.update_all()                                                       # Calls update for all vehicle objects.
conn.logout()                                                           # Logout from API, call for revoke of tokens.
conn.terminate()                                                        # Terminate session, calls logout().
conn.get<method>                                                        # The get methods calls on API endpoints and returns data. See example.
conn.set<method>                                                        # The set methods calls on API endpoints to set config for vehicle.

Refrain from using methods starting with _, they are intended for internal use only.
