Range in Miles as well as KM

[nthbooth]

It would be lovely if the range was available in Miles as an option rather than KM.

Also thank you this plugin is awesome!

can you take a look at this beta version if miles works correctly? https://github.com/leeyuentuen/polestar_api/releases/tag/0.2.1

@nthbooth can you take a look the version above?

[nthbooth]

looks good thankyou

Did this make it into 1.4.0? I see a selectable 'unit_of_measurement' including 'mi', but changing it does not do anything... are we missing 'native_unit_of_measurement' or 'device_class' etc. required for HA to be able to convert?

you need to take a look at this page: https://polestarid.eu.polestar.com/as/authorization.oauth2?response_type=code&client_id=polmystar&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.polestar.com%2Fsign-in-callback&scope=openid%20profile%20email%20customer:attributes%20customer:attributes:write

and then go to cars, and see what there their value of. the KM/Miles, could be that polestar didn't update the value from the car

edit: i'm wrong, the value will change normally if you change your system settings from metric to imperial

Hi, I checked the Polestar page and it is correctly in Miles for range and Odometer. The only options I see in the HA Settings are Metric (Celsius, kilograms) or US Customary (Fahrenheit, pounds)... what I am looking for is Celsius and Miles which is mostly the norm in the UK. If the API is returning it in miles is there no way for this integration to override it? For example with the Nest integration when I change 'unit_of_measurement' for the entity I can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

[leeyuentuen]

the code check if it is us customary (included miles) it will convert the km into miles

[lucky81]

Which would suit most countries/people, but the UK is a bit of a confused mixture of metric and imperial. I am set to metric which is good for everything else (Celsius, kg) except for distance which should be miles. Is there no other way to prevent that conversion / override it - like the way the Nest integration just lets me choose?

[leeyuentuen]

maybe rollback as before from this issue?

As far as I can tell, if you were setting 'native_unit_of_measurement' to the unit returned by the API, then HA would do the conversion / you would not need the conversion code. If I select the (range or Odometer) entity, and then go into settings, then I can change 'Unit of Measurement' from 'KM' to 'Mi', but when I save nothing happens... the same action in the Nest integration allows me to switch units - I think this works as it knows that native unit, so can apply the conversion within HA (rather than within your code).

i have open an issue, i'll take a look on it

Thank you so much.
