My Home Automation Dashboard

ajdthomson · May 4th, 2021, 19:10

Hi, thought you might be interested in my home automation dashboard. Since I got my new XC60 T8, I have built some integrations (I work in IT) so at a glance on my dashboard in my living room I can see
- Current fuel level
- Current battery level
- Most recent trip MPG (last one was all electric!)
- Last 10 trips average MPG
- How many charging points are available at my very near public charging point where I currently enjoy free charges!

Cool for geeks and great what can be achieved with just a small bit of programming.

Are you scraping the information or is there an API for the data?

There is an undocumented API that the app uses... the main endpoint is https://vocapi.wirelesscar.net/customerapi/rest/v3.0/vehicles/{VIN}/status and you just have to authenticate using Basic auth with your VOC credentials and set a few other headers which are easily figured out by inspecting the VOC app traffic.

For those that don't want to write their own S/W from scratch, it's worth mentioning that there is a VOC integration available in Home Assistant.
