Additional attributes (for evcc)

[arboeh]

As mentioned in #17 a climate state sensor unfortunately isn't given by the API.
Would it possible to get the following attributes (optional for evcc):

• status: # optional charge status (A..F)
• wakeup: # optional vehicle wake up command
• maxcurrent: # set charger max current (A)
• limitsoc: # optional in-vehicle limit soc, read-only (%)

Greets from Germany!

• status: what is A, what is F? Is it based on a current value? If so, you can create a helper to do the mapping for you.
• wakup: There is no wake up command available in the API. Also, what exactly is meant with "waking up the car"?
• maxcurrent: There is no way to set the max current via the API.
• limitsoc: There is an endpoint to get the target soc, but it doesn't work (I'm not allowed to use the scope required for that endpoint). The endpoint is also not supported for the EX30.

Could you write out in detail the goal you're trying to achieve with this?

• status: what is A, what is F? Is it based on a current value? If so, you can create a helper to do the mapping for you.

Has to be IEC 62196 Typ 2 charging status:

• Status A: standby
• Status B: vehicle detected
• Status C: ready (charging)
• Status D: with ventilation
• Status E: no power (shut off)
• Status F: error

EVCC can handle these optional attributes.

• wakup: There is no wake up command available in the API. Also, what exactly is meant with "waking up the car"?

Guess this is to "wakeup" the car after a longer unused period of time

• maxcurrent: There is no way to set the max current via the API.
• limitsoc: There is an endpoint to get the target soc, but it doesn't work (I'm not allowed to use the scope required for that endpoint). The endpoint is also not supported for the EX30.

EVCC can handle these optional parameters, if defined a custom template. These attributes are optional, so would be nice to have. See also: https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/devices/vehicles#generic-support

Maybe I'm missing the point somehow, but what is this integration exactly missing for you to use evcc?

For status you can create a helper sensor based on the existing integration sensors Charging connection status and Charging status. The other settings are optional or not available in the Volvo API. Doesn't maxcurrent refer to the charger instead of the vehicle?

You're also linking to the custom vehicle configuration of evcc, but there is also a dedicated Volvo configuration. Can you use this one? Just add an extra API key in the Volvo developer portal.

As I wrote: Nice to have. Integration is great as it is.
The attributes would possibly add value, especially for the use with EVCC, although I'm not sure about that. ☺️
