MySkoda Integration for Skoda vehicles compatible with MySkoda-App.

MySkoda integration using the API that the MySkoda App uses.

Status: This project is a new implementation of a relatively new API. Consider this code alpha.

Contributions are welcomed, both as issues, but more as pull requests :)

Please join our Discord and help development by providing feedback and details about the vehicles you are using.

Sending updates

To make sure updates end up in the car the way intended by the you, we throttle all equal changes to the car for 30s. Simply put: You can change a setting in the car once every 30s, but you can change multiple settings in sequence.

So:

• If you change the seat-heating to on, you can immediately change the window-heating to on as well.
• If you change the seat-heating to on, you cannot turn it back off again for 30s

The requests will silently be ignored by HomeAssistant, so make sure you wait at least 30s before sending another request

Installation

You can manually install this integration as an custom_component under Home Assistant or install it using HACS (Home Assistant Community Store).

Manual installation

1. Download the myskoda repository or folder.
2. Copy the custom_components/myskoda folder from the downloaded files.
3. Paste the myskoda folder into your Home Assistant's custom components directory:
   • Path: <home_assistant_folder>/custom_components/myskoda
4. Restart Home Assistant to load the new integration.

HACS installation

The myskoda repository is also compatible with HACS (Home Assistant Community Store), making installation and updates easier.

1. Install HACS (if not already installed):
   • Follow instructions here: HACS Installation Guide
2. Add myskoda Repository to HACS:
   • In Home Assistant, go to HACS > Settings tab.
   • Select Custom Repositories and add the repository URL https://github.com/skodaconnect/homeassistant-myskoda.
3. Install myskoda from HACS:
   • After adding the repository, find and install myskoda under the HACS integrations.
4. Restart Home Assistant.

Following these steps should successfully install the myskoda integration for use with your Home Assistant setup.

For more guidance on HACS, you can refer to the HACS Getting Started Guide.

Enable debug logging

For comprehensive debug logging you can add this to your <config dir>/configuration.yaml:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    myskoda: debug
    myskoda.mqtt: debug
    myskoda.rest_api: debug
    custom_components.myskoda: debug
    custom_components.myskoda.climate: debug
    custom_components.myskoda.lock: debug
    custom_components.myskoda.device_tracker: debug
    custom_components.myskoda.switch: debug
    custom_components.myskoda.binary_sensor: debug
    custom_components.myskoda.sensor: debug
    custom_components.myskoda.number: debug
    custom_components.myskoda.image: debug

Pick any of the subjects from the example. If you want to enable full debugging, you only need myskoda and custom_components.myskoda.

• myskoda: Set the debug level for the MySkoda library. This handles all the communication with MySkoda.

• myskoda.mqtt: Set the debug level for the MQTT class of the MySkoda library. This handles the push-messages sent from MySkoda to the integration, notifying of changes to/in the car.

• myskoda.rest_api: Set the debug level for the REST API of the MySkoda library. This handles all the pull-messages the integration fetches from MySkoda.

• custom_components.myskoda: Set debug level for the custom component. The communication between hass and library.

• custom_components.myskoda.XYZ Sets debug level for individual entity types in the custom component.

Customize polling interval

This integration does not poll at a set interval, instead when the last update has been a while, we request new information from MySkoda. The reason for this is that cars emit a lot of events when they are operating, and we use these events to partially update the car information.

When the car is quiet for a period we call the POLLING INTERVAL, we will request a full update of the car.

By default, this POLLING INTERVAL is set to 30 minutes. You can tune this to anything between 1 and 1440 minutes (1 day) by filling in the desired value in Integrations > MySkoda > Hubs > Select your account > Configure

Disabling polling

You can disable polling completely and use automations to update the data from MySkoda. In order to do this, disable polling in the integration, and call the following action:

action: homeassistant.update_entity
target:
  entity_id: device_tracker.skoda_4ever

S-PIN

For some operations, such as locking and unlocking doors, it is required to fill in the S-PIN that you have set for privileged access to your car via the App. This integration does not support setting the S-PIN yet. Fill in the required S-PIN in Settings > Integrations > MySkoda > Configuration > S-PIN and after a few seconds you will have the options available in HomeAssistant.

Read-only mode

The opposite to S-PIN is read-only mode. In this mode, all buttons, switches and other functionality that allows you to change settings remotely are disabled. In order not to accidentally delete data, we do not delete the entities

Also, if you disable read-only mode, the buttons, switches, etc will become available again.

Fixture generation

The Generate Fixtures button allows users to generate car-related fixtures directly from the Home Assistant UI without requiring the use of myskoda[cli].

When pressed, the button triggers the fixture generation process, and the generated fixtures are logged at the Info level in the Home Assistant Core log. Upon successful completion, a notification is displayed in the UI to inform the user that the fixtures have been successfully generated.

This feature simplifies the process of creating fixtures by providing a user-friendly interface for initiating the operation.

Diagnostics

In addition to Generate Fixtures feature which generates the vehicle fixtures into Home Assitant Core log, the Diagnostics feature allows you to directly download diagnostic data for sharing in issue reports. Providing diagnostics data when reporting an issue helps developers diagnose and resolve your problem more efficiently.

You can download the diagnostics data as a text file from the device page or the integrations dashboard.

Diagnostics file include:

• Home Assistant version and details
• List of installed components and their versions
• MySkoda integration version and details
• Anonymized vehicle fixtures from the MySkoda API. (fixtures can be found under the data key in the diagnostics response)

Note: Vehicle fixtures are responses from all available MySkoda API endpoints always returned in both raw and serialized format.
