Domoticz-Renault-Plugin

A domoticz python plugin for the My Renault API

Please provide feedback about functionality and bugs

Ideas:

• Allow charging controlled by this plugin
• Something with the location API
• When solar power is high, charge (do some anti ping pong)
• ... your idea here, open an issue for it

How to charge idea:

• Whenever someone leaves a place where they were charging the car goes to unplugged (maybe not if you replug within the refresh)
• whenever the car changes to unplugged, apply always charging, it won't matter anyway
• whenever getting a plugged state again, evaluate distance
• if distance=home then apply the home switch button to use schedule or always charging
• if distance=away, stay on always charging. or apply a second button... don't enable that one by default
• if the home switch button is toggled, then evaluate if still home and still plugged and apply it

install

history

0.2.8 fix of chargemode encoding

• variable names of chargemode reading have changed
• hvac encoding was reverted

0.2.7 encoding of HVAC control

• when renault messed around with hvac encoding as int instead of str

0.2.6 better exception handling

• handle bad login situation
• reorder API calls for better view on debug output

0.2.5 introduction of HVAC control

• on captur, only switch-on works, switch-off is ignored
• update refresh button states so log knows when it was used

0.2.4 split of onStart in create and calling update straight after

• implies a possible action is applied at startup already
• no need to duplicate code
• no other changes

0.2.3 added RefreshNow button

• added some more exception handling
• also cleaned geopy since not in favor of address detection concept

0.2.2 charge strategy implemented as described in README

• only send action command in case there is a delta
• Car Home is at less than 50m from Domoticz Home

0.2.1 introduction of class Action

• cleaner control over actions
• in preparation of business logic updates

0.2.0 based on collected state, able to order an action

• make stateDevice the last in line so it can combine other device values to decide on charging etc.
• renamed stuff to fit better with the plan
• overload exception detection (still need to do something with it though)
• clean out some unused stuff

0.1.9 Distance from home device

• flat earth calculation of distance from home

0.1.8 ChargeIt button

• toggles between Always and Scheduled charging
• status is now an alert and colors reflect plug and charging states

0.1.7 distance from home concept

• and some small stuff

0.1.6 Status-device + Switch-device foundations

• Status shows plugState, chargeStatus and scheduled or always charging
• Switch will toggle between scheduled and always charging
• Switch mechanism is early stages, commands have been tested
• renamed all mileage to distance

0.1.5 single car mode and timezone aware

• when only one car is available, it is chosen automatically
• process charges taking timezone into account

0.1.4 retries and efficiency

• exceptions result in 3 retries
• not using asyncio.gather uses only one TLS session instead of N parallel ones
• verify errors before processing output of account.get_vehicles()
• mark TODO items
• cosmetics

0.1.2 Very first version for public sharing

• Should be working for most people
• Please provide feedback
