Due to API changes it might be that currently not all functionality is given. Please open a issue to report the topics you are missing.
Due to time limitations this project is not actively maintained anymore. It will continue to work as long as Audi does not change the API again. However, I'm open to someone else taking the lead. If you would like to become a maintainer, please contact me.
The audiconnect component provides an integration with the Audi Connect cloud service. It adds presence detection, sensors such as range, mileage, and fuel level, and provides car actions such as locking/unlocking and setting the pre-heater.
Note: Certain functions require special permissions from Audi, such as position update via GPS.
Credit for initial API discovery go to the guys at the ioBroker VW-Connect forum, who were able to figure out how the API and the PIN hashing works. Also some implementation credit to davidgiga1993 of the original AudiAPI Python package, on which some of this code is loosely based.
There are two ways this integration can be installed into Home Assistant.
The easiest and recommended way is to install the integration using HACS, which makes future updates easy to track and install.
Alternatively, installation can be done manually by copying the files in this repository into the custom_components directory in the Home Assistant configuration directory:
- Open the configuration directory of your Home Assistant installation.
- If you do not have a
custom_componentsdirectory, create it. - In the
custom_componentsdirectory, create a new directory calledaudiconnect. - Copy all files from the
custom_components/audiconnect/directory in this repository into theaudiconnectdirectory. - Restart Home Assistant.
- Add the integration to Home Assistant (see Configuration).
Configuration is done through the Home Assistant UI.
To add the integration, go to Settings ➤ Devices & Services ➤ Integrations, click ➕ Add Integration, and search for "Audi Connect".
username
- (string)(Required) The username associated with your Audi Connect account.
password
- (string)(Required) The password for your Audi Connect account.
S-PIN
- (string)(Optional) The S-PIN for your Audi Connect account.
region
- (Required) The region where your Audi Connect account is registered.
- 'DE' for Europe (or leave unset)
- 'US' for United States of America
- 'CA' for Canada
- 'CN' for China
scan_interval
- (number)(Optional) The frequency in minutes for how often to fetch status data from Audi Connect. (Optional. Default is 15 minutes, can be no more frequent than 15 min.)
Find configuration options under Settings ➤ Devices & Services ➤ Integrations ➤ Audi Connect ➤ Configure:
- Cloud Update at Startup (
bool): Toggle cloud updates at integration startup. Ideal for development or frequent HA restarts. - Active Polling at Scan Interval (
bool): Enable or disable active polling. - Scan Interval (
int): Defines polling frequency in minutes (minimum 15). Effective only if "Active Polling at Scan Interval" is enabled.
Note: A Home Assistant restart is required for changes to take effect.
audiconnect.refresh_vehicle_data
Normal updates retrieve data from the Audi Connect cloud service, and don't interact directly with the vehicle. This service triggers an update request from the vehicle itself. When data is retrieved successfully, Home Assistant is automatically updated. The service requires a vehicle identification number (VIN) as a parameter.
vin: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the Audi you want to control.
audiconnect.refresh_cloud_data
This service triggers an update request from the cloud.
- Functionality: Updates data for all vehicles from the online source, mirroring the action performed at integration startup or during scheduled refresh intervals.
- Behavior: Does not force a vehicle-side data refresh. Consequently, if vehicles haven't recently pushed updates, retrieved data might be outdated.
- Note: This service replicates the function of active polling without scheduling, offering a more granular control over data refresh moments.
- IMPORTANT: This service has no built in usage limits. Excessive use may result in a temporary suspension of your account.

audiconnect.execute_vehicle_action
This service allows you to perform actions on your Audi vehicle, specified by the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the desired action.
vin: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the Audi you want to control.action: The specific action to perform on the vehicle. Available actions include:lock: Lock the vehicle.unlock: Unlock the vehicle.start_climatisation: Start the vehicle's climatisation system. (Legacy)stop_climatisation: Stop the vehicle's climatisation system.start_charger: Start charging the vehicle.start_timed_charger: Start the vehicle's charger with a timer.stop_charger: Stop charging the vehicle.start_preheater: Start the vehicle's preheater system.stop_preheater: Stop the vehicle's preheater system.start_window_heating: Start heating the vehicle's windows.stop_window_heating: Stop heating the vehicle's windows.
To initiate the lock action for a vehicle with VIN WAUZZZ4G7EN123456, use the following service call:
service: audiconnect.execute_vehicle_action
data:
vin: "WAUZZZ4G7EN123456"
action: "lock"- Certain action require the S-PIN to be set in the configuration.
- When the action is successfully performed, an update request is automatically triggered.
audiconnect.start_climate_control
This service allows you to start the climate control with options for temperature, glass surface heating, and auto seat comfort.
vin: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the Audi you want to control.temp_f(optional): Desired temperature in Fahrenheit. Default is70.temp_c(optional): Desired temperature in Celsius. Default is21.glass_heating(optional): Enable (True) or disable (False) glass heating. Default isFalse.seat_fl(optional): Enable (True) or disable (False) the front-left seat heater. Default isFalse.seat_fr(optional): Enable (True) or disable (False) the front-right seat heater. Default isFalse.seat_rl(optional): Enable (True) or disable (False) the rear-left seat heater. Default isFalse.seat_rr(optional): Enable (True) or disable (False) the rear-right seat heater. Default isFalse.
To start the climate control for a vehicle with VIN WAUZZZ4G7EN123456 with a temperature of 72°F, enable glass heating, and activate both front seat heaters, use the following service call:
service: audiconnect.start_climate_control
data:
vin: "WAUZZZ4G7EN123456"
temp_f: 72
glass_heating: True
seat_fl: True
seat_fr: True- The
temp_fandtemp_cparameters are mutually exclusive. If both are provided,temp_ftakes precedence. - If neither
temp_fnortemp_cis provided, the system defaults to 70°F or 21°C. - Certain action require the S-PIN to be set in the configuration.
- When the action is successfully performed, an update request is automatically triggered.
Below is an example Dashboard (Lovelace) card illustrating some of the sensors this Home Assistant addon provides.
The card requires the following front end mods:
These mods can (like this integration) be installed using HACS.
The card uses the following code in ui-lovelace.yaml (or wherever your Dashboard is configured).
