Show SoC of my Car in my VRM portal

[EdCaballer]

Hello I’m triing to show the SoC of my car in a Tile on my VRM portal like the temperature or weather forecast.

I created a Home Assistent server and here i can get de SoC of my EV Volvo

How can I add a tile with tis information?? the EV Carging Station didn’t provide this info and i like to read it in my VRM.

Thanks!!

Finaly I figured it up!! In Node-Red with the home assistant server I finaly can send The Volvo SoC to a virtual Tank device and add it to my VRM Portal!!

Why didn’t you just use the virtual electric vehicle device node?

[EdCaballer]

Becose I didn’t know that that node exists!! Where can I found it? I look for it in the virtual device options but I can’t find it!! Can you show me how to deploy that node?

Thanks!

[EdCaballer]

Please @nickdb can you explain me a little bit how to use the virtual electric vehicle device node?? Thank You!!

I also use a virtual tank sensor to display vehicle soc.

I think @nickdb is reffering to the virtual E-Drive. But that’s not an electrical car, it’s an driver board for electric motors. The virtual E-Drive doesn’t have a soc.

As far as I know, there doesn’t exist any virtual electrical car node.

Try the beta.

[grua]

Ok, I don’t use beta versions at my house

[nickdb (Nick)]

Unfortunately that is where all the cool new nodered stuffs happen. It is a fairly advanced beta now but best avoided if you don’t want to risk instability.

[EdCaballer]

Ooo I see. And it’s stable enougth for dayli use??

[EdCaballer]

And did you manage for change the oil icon for a car, a batery or something related to an EV?

[nickdb (Nick)]

Seems solid enough. Been using it for some time

[EdCaballer]

Ok, Will have a try!

[EdCaballer]

I’m in the last version of VenusOS 3.73, and when i check for update with the beta versions selected, it sais that there is no update…

[grua]

Same here..

[EdCaballer]

Perfect!!! Love this!! finaly looks like I want!! Thnk you very much @nickdb

[grua]

from where do you get these values?

[EdCaballer]

From Volvo and his api, via Home Assistant.

[EdCaballer]

@grua, do you know where I can find the diferent expected value of msg.payload for each mesurement of the virtual EV Node? For example the EVCharging Node have all this possibilities for the Status mesurement: 0 - Disconnected 1 - Connected 2 - Charging 3 - Charged 4 - Waiting for sun 5 - Waiting for RFID 6 - Waiting for start 7 - Low SOC 8 - Ground test error… and until 24 diferent values, but the Virtual EV Node only accept 0 for disconected 1 for low power mode or 3 for charging any other number show “unknowed”. I’d like to have a full table of expected values for each mesurement for adapt to each node. Thank’s!!

Have you tried this btw?

BETA: Connect your Electrical Vehicle to VRM

We are currently BETA-testing a much-requested feature in VRM: Linking your electric car to VRM. In this post, I’ll explain to you what this unlocks, and how you can get started on testing. Why would I link my EV to VRM? You are probably checking both your car manufacturer’s app as well as VRM while your car is charging. Seeing the state of charge of your car in VRM saves you switching apps.VRM will offer some features that most car brand apps don’t offer, like: Being able to historically …
