Volvo Cars Adapter for ioBroker

This adapter connects your Volvo car to ioBroker using the Volvo Connected Vehicle API and Energy API v2.

Supported Features

• 🔋 Battery charge level, electric range, charging status (PHEV / BEV)
• ⛽ Fuel level, odometer, trip statistics
• 🚪 Door, window, and lock status
• 📍 GPS location
• 🔧 Diagnostics (service warnings, brake fluid, oil, tyres, lights)
• 🔑 Remote commands (lock/unlock, honk, flash, climatization)
• 🔄 Automatic data refresh at configurable intervals
• 🔐 Token persistence — survives adapter restarts without re-login

Setup Guide

1. Get a VCC API Key

1. Go to developer.volvocars.com and sign in (Google or GitHub account).
2. Create a new Application.
3. Copy the VCC API Key (Primary).

2. Configure the Adapter

1. Open the adapter settings in ioBroker.
2. Enter your Volvo ID email and password (the same credentials you use in the Volvo Cars app).
3. Paste the VCC API Key.
4. Set the update interval (default: 5 minutes).

3. Login with OTP

The Volvo API uses a two-factor authentication flow with a one-time password (OTP):

1. Click "Start Login (Send OTP)" in the adapter settings.
2. Check your email for the OTP code from Volvo.
3. Enter the code and click "Submit OTP".
4. The adapter will store the refresh token so you won't need to repeat this unless the token expires (typically weeks/months).

Note: If the refresh token expires, the adapter will show a warning in the log. Simply repeat the OTP login from the adapter settings.
