Domoticz plugin to read my VW ID.3 battery percentage and distance left.

Uses: Python API for the Volkswagen WeConnect Services URL: https://github.com/tillsteinbach/WeConnect-python

Setup We-connect API on Raspberry Pi:

apt install python3-pip pip3 install weconnect-cli

When you get this error: "externally-managed-environment" pip3 install weconnect-cli --break-system-packages

Test: weconnect-cli --username 'email' --password 'my_password'

setup:

• go to domoticz/plugins
• git clone https://github.com/Andreotti100/We-connect
• restart domoticz
• add We-connect at the hardware section

Or: Download plugin.py and place it in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/we-connect Make sure chmod is 644 Restart Domoticz

Known issue: The check for the right VIN is not working for some reason!

The timer component in the weconnect-cli API failes at converting the date/time if it is called from Domoticz. Maybe it has to do with my region notation. So, I changed some code. Open /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/weconnect/elements/timer.py Go to line 97
