ABRP Updates

[chriscatuk]

I could successfully setup an automation in Home Assistant to send an update to ABRP each Time the last_update date changes.

Below is my first attempt, it worked already:

# based on https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/7396339/SWTK5a8w
alias: ABRP updates
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.smart_last_update
action:
  - action: rest_command.abrp
    data:
      token: 99999999-aaaa-aaaa-bbbb-eeeeeeeeee # generated for each car in ABRP app
      api_key: 8888888-2222-44444-bbbb-333333333 # obtained from contact@iternio.com , see https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/7396339/SWTK5a8w
      utc: "{{ as_timestamp(states('sensor.smart_last_update')) | int }}"
      soc: "{{ states('sensor.smart_battery', rounded=False, with_unit=False) | default('') }}"
      soh: 100
      power: >
            {% if states('sensor.smart_charging_power', rounded=False, with_unit=False) | default(0) | float > 0 %}
                -{{ states('sensor.smart_charging_power', rounded=False, with_unit=False) }}
            {% endif %}
      speed: ""
      lat: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'latitude') | default('') }}"
      lon: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'longitude') | default('') }}"
      elevation: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'altitude').value | default('') }}")
      is_charging: >
        {% if states('sensor.smart_charging_status') == 'charging' or
        states('sensor.smart_charging_status') == 'DC charging' %}
            1
        {% else %}
            0
        {% endif %}
      is_dcfc: |
        {% if states('sensor.smart_charging_status') == 'DC charging' %}
            1
        {% else %}
            0
        {% endif %}

      is_parked: "{{ states('sensor.smart_electric_park_brake_status') | default(0) }}"
      ext_temp: "{{ states('sensor.smart_exterior_temperature', rounded=False, with_unit=False) | default('') }}"
      odometer: "{{ states('sensor.smart_odometer', rounded=False, with_unit=False) | default('') }}"
      est_battery_range: "{{ states('sensor.smart_range', rounded=False, with_unit=False) | default('') }}"

then in my configuration.yaml this is the rest_command:

rest_command:
  abrp:
    url: https://api.iternio.com/1/tlm/send?token={{ token }}&tlm={"utc":"{{ utc }}","soc":"{{ soc }}","soh":"{{ soh }}","power":"{{ power }}","speed":"{{ speed }}","lat":"{{ lat }}","lon":"{{ lon }}","is_charging":"{{ is_charging }}","is_dcfc":"{{ is_dcfc }}","is_parked":"{{ is_parked }}","elevation":"{{ elevation }}","ext_temp":"{{ ext_temp }}","odometer":"{{ odometer }}","est_battery_range":"{{ est_battery_range }}"}
    method: post
    headers:
      Authorization: "APIKEY {{ api_key }}"

Do you think of a way to integrate it directly in this integration? Or a Readme maybe to share the way of doing it each of us?

edit: updated the Values with my latest more elaborated version

Possible improvements:

1. Unavailable values

I don't know why the location is regularly "unavailable" but it sends null for latitude and longitude. We always have a latitude and longitude in the API response from Smart. Which is why I don't understand why it would not always be available. Is there something better than

      lat: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'latitude') | default('') }}"
      lon: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'longitude') | default('') }}"

to get a reliable location?

Edit 27th Aug: I updated the way to get the utc, elevation and is_charging

[chriscatuk]

would the problem on Location unknown be due to https://github.com/DasBasti/SmartHashtag/issues/78?

[DasBasti]

yeah, I am not sure why this happens. I am looking into it but I have not found the reason why position is not updated reliably

I believe there's 2 typo's that prevented the automation to work.

action:
  - action: rest_command.abrp

elevation: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'altitude').value | default('') }}")
```yaml
action:
- service: rest_command.abrp
elevation: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'altitude').value | default('') }}"

[chriscatuk]

I believe there's 2 typo's that prevented the automation to work.

action:
  - action: rest_command.abrp

elevation: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'altitude').value | default('') }}")

action:
  - service: rest_command.abrp
elevation: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'altitude').value | default('') }}"

I agree for Elevation, I transformed what I really have on my HASS and made a typo:

      elevation: >-
        {{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'altitude').value |
        default('') }}

but for

action:
  - action: rest_command.abrp

it's a strict copy/past of the automation I'm using successfully on 2 different HASS and it works for me.

what does fail for you? or is it an improvement suggestion?

[fabbermen]

It didn't work for me, as HA see the rest command as a service, so the action needed is a service call.

Found another issue with the power: ABRP expects kW and the smart is reporting W, so I divided the value by 1000.

[chriscatuk]

I was reading 6840kW in ABRP and didn't notice how wrong it was. Thanks for noticing! And sorry for the mistake

I also wanted to test with service like you said, but the format of the YAML changed in HASS 2024.10. So this readme will need an update anyway.

I added /1000 and I'm testing. I'll share my new config in a following comment after it worked.

[chriscatuk]

this is what worked for me:

      - sensor.smart_last_update
    trigger: state

      power: >
        {% if states('sensor.smart_charging_power', rounded=False,
        with_unit=False) | default(0) | float > 0 %}

        {{ state_attr('device_tracker.smart_none', 'altitude').value |
        default('') }}
      is_charging: >
        {% if states('sensor.smart_charging_status') == 'charging' or
        states('sensor.smart_charging_status') == 'DC charging' %}
            1
        {% else %}
            0
        {% endif %}
      is_dcfc: |
        {% if states('sensor.smart_charging_status') == 'DC charging' %}
            1
        {% else %}
            0
        {% endif %}
      is_parked: "{{ states('sensor.smart_electric_park_brake_status') | default(0) }}"
      ext_temp: >-
        {{ states('sensor.smart_exterior_temperature', rounded=False,
        with_unit=False) | default('') }}
      odometer: >-
        {{ states('sensor.smart_odometer', rounded=False, with_unit=False) |
        default('') }}
      est_battery_range: >-
        {{ states('sensor.smart_range', rounded=False, with_unit=False) |
        default('') }}
mode: single

what do you think? they changed the list of actions in 2024.10. So I wonder if it's still a service for you?
