CarConnectivity works on Cupra Formentor plug-in

[MantovaniMatteo]

Hi @tillsteinbach,
I give you a feedback.
I try to test CarConnectivity using connector pip install carconnectivity-connector-seatcupra.
Seems works without problem and this is the screenshot:

Thank you for your work!!!

Tomorrow, if I have time, I will try to do some more tests.

If you need more information or tests that I can do, tell me!

[tillsteinbach]

Great, thank you for the feedback. I have now temporary access to a seat car and will also start implementing more features.

[Arjanwa]

I also tried to add my Cupra Formentor. When starting carconnectivity-cli I'm getting some errors. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I've also included the webui plugin. In the webui the car is vissible and I can see the status of doors and lights. So I think the authentication is working fine.

[tillsteinbach]

this is a bug, will fix with next release.

[felix2702]

Works for Cupra Leon e-hybrid 2025!

[tillsteinbach]

Alpha 2 is now online adding connection status, odometer and first commands.
I would be in particular interested in results from testing starting/stopping charging and climatization. I don't want to try it out on the vehicle a user gave me access to.

[tillsteinbach]

Alpha 3 now also fetches the cars image and displays it in the webui

[Pulpyyyy]

Hello
Will try climate and charge in few days, but i can already report images and display are OK.
Great work !

[MantovaniMatteo]

Hi @tillsteinbach,
Can you help me understand if I am using CarConnectivity correctly? I'll tell you my steps:

Inside the CarConnectivity-main\examples folder I inserted my carConnectivity.json:

Inside carConnectivity.json:

Then I wrote:

python all_cars.py carConnectivity.json

receiving this error:

Carconnectivity-cli works

Another question, where I find SECRET_KEY? I've insert the value present in your carConnectivity.json inside CarConnectivity-plugin-webui-main\test\integration_test.

Thank you

[tillsteinbach]

The SECRET_KEY is not necessary, it just helps that your session is valid after a restart and you do not need to login again. You can use any value there. Just take the one from my example and change a few digits.

[MantovaniMatteo]

Using this file:

and then insert:
carconnectivity-cli carConnectivity.json

I can see the web interface and all the car properties:

[Arjanwa]

Alpha3 now shows a photo of the car instead of the image so that's working.
I'm trying to test climatization and/or charging but can you help me with the command? I do not see any options available in the webui. I tried the following command but not sure if this is right.

carconnectivity-cli .\carconnectivity.json set /garage/VSSZZXXXXXXX/climatization/commands/start-stop start
2025-02-23T20:23:51+0100:carconnectivity.connectors.seatcupra:ERROR:connector:Could not start/stop air conditioning (404: {"timestamp":"2025-02-23T19:23:50.895974799Z","path":"/vehicles/VSSZZXXXXXXX/climatisation/requests/start","status":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"No static resource vehicles/VSSZZXXXXXXX/climatisation/requests/start.","requestId":"3b5f9903"})

[Arjanwa]

Also tried starting charging. That gives the following error.

id /garage/VSSZZXXXXXXX/charging/commands/start-stop cannot be set: Could not start/stop charging (400: {"code":"bad-request","message":"Instantiation of [simple type, class com.sdc.ola.charging.start.infrastructure.rest.v0.dto.StartRequest] value failed for JSON property maxChargeCurrentAC due to missing (therefore NULL) value for creator parameter maxChargeCurrentAc which is a non-nullable type\n at [Source: REDACTED (StreamReadFeature.INCLUDE_SOURCE_IN_LOCATION disabled); line: 1, column: 2] (through reference chain: com.sdc.ola.charging.start.infrastructure.rest.v0.dto.StartRequest["maxChargeCurrentAC"])","rootMessage":null,"timestamp":"2025-02-23T20:11:38.289695869Z"})

[tillsteinbach]

Yes sorry v0.1a5 I also tried something different for the charging command

[Arjanwa]

Thanks, climatization is now working! Start and stop succesful. Charging is not working yet, i'm now seeing the following error: 2025-02-23T21:55:17+0100:carconnectivity.connectors.seatcupra:ERROR:connector:Could not start/stop charging (500: {"code":"repository-exception","message":"Repository exception","rootMessage":null,"timestamp":"2025-02-23T20:55:16.363212288Z"})

[tillsteinbach]

hmmm, stopping is probably working. I cannot figure out what it might be expecting to get as a parameter when starting charging

[Arjanwa]

Stopping charging is indeed working.

[MantovaniMatteo]

Hi,
I try some commands but I have every time the same answer:

Also for charging I have id not found.

For the test I've used v0.1a5 and insert S-PIN ("account": .......)

[tillsteinbach]

First try to find out the available topics with the list and list -s command. If there are no topics, try to debug your configuration by setting loglevel to debug and check if everything starts up nicely.

[MantovaniMatteo]

Hi tillsteinbach,
using list command regarding climatization I see only this topics:

/garage/VSSZZXXXXXXX/climatization/state
/garage/VSSZZXXXXXXX/climatization/settings/target_temperature

Setting the log level to debug I don't see errors and everything seems fine but nothing appears with /commands/start-stop.
Maybe it is not implemented yet for the cupra formentor?

[tillsteinbach]

• Did you use list -s, the -s option gives the topics you can change
• can you have a look in the capabilities if it has "climatisation"?

[MantovaniMatteo]

I've installed the version v0.1a6 and now I'll see many topics also many /commands/start-stop!

Wow!!!

I can't test it now, but I will tomorrow!

Thank you for your work!!!

[MantovaniMatteo]

Hi tillsteinbach,
I try this command:
carconnectivity-cli car.json set /garage/VSSZZXXXXXXX/doors/commands/lock-unlock lock

but I've this error:

I have also insert "spin": "xxx" inside config file

[MantovaniMatteo]

It seems that now nothing works anymore!!!
Also the command:

carconnectivity-cli car.json get /garage/VSSZZZKM3RR115362/model

does not work anymore!

[MantovaniMatteo]

this is the message:

2025-02-25T22:54:08+0100:carconnectivity-cli:CRITICAL:carconnectivity_cli_base:There was a problem when communicating with one or multiple services: Connection error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='render.seat.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /SEA/RENDER/PRD/render/fast/H4sIAAAAAAAA_-2cLvGBgAA (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000002C20977C650>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11002] getaddrinfo failed'))
There was a problem when communicating with one or multiple services

[MantovaniMatteo]

Could it be that the server temporarily blocked me if I made a lot of requests?

But from app MyCupra the Lock/Unlock car works!

[tillsteinbach]

The error you get for the renderings seems unrelated.
https://github.com/tillsteinbach/CarConnectivity-connector-seatcupra/releases/tag/v0.1a11 is my last try for tonight. We are already pretty close with the secToken though.

[tillsteinbach]

Does it work now?

[MantovaniMatteo]

I have a question, when I run the MQTT plugin and all the information arrives, how many requests I make to the Seat/Cupra server? Because I seem to remember that you should not exceed about 1000 requests per day.

[tillsteinbach]

about 8-10, you should be fine with an interval of 300seconds, maybe 180s would be also fine. I'm not allowing less than 180s to not cause too much load on the servers.

[MantovaniMatteo]

ok perfect! If I wanted to change the interval at different times of the day how could I do it? For example at night I would set an interval of 600sec and during the day 180sec

[tillsteinbach]

I have not yet implemented the possibility to change the interval, once implemented you can send a new interval to interval_writetopic and it will change after the next update.

[tillsteinbach]

with https://github.com/tillsteinbach/CarConnectivity-connector-seatcupra/releases/tag/v0.1a12 interval can be changed

[MantovaniMatteo]

I tried now to install carconnectivity and all the plugins on Home assistant (Raspberry) from the shell terminal. Everything is installed without problems. Then I ran the MQTT plugin by writing the command carconnectivity-cli /config/car.json always in the terminal. the MQTT plugin works even if the interval set in the configuration file is not respected. I put 6min in the config and instead the data is refreshed after 9 min.

Ok, surely my solution is not correct to integrate carconnectivity on Home assistant, but I do not have the knowledge to do an integration.

However, in my opinion the system is very valid to be integrated.

[MantovaniMatteo]

Running the plugin MQTT from my laptop instead Home assistant the refresh time is similar to interval setted inside config:
