I test it with a Peugeot e-208, but it works with other PSA vehicles (Citroen, Opel, Vauxhall, DS).
With this app you will be able to:
- get the status of the car (battery level for electric vehicle, position ... )
- start and stop the charge
- set a charge threshold to limit the battery level to a certain percentage
- set a stop hour to charge your vehicle only on off-peak hours
- control air conditioning
- control lights and horn if your vehicle is compatible
- lock and unlock doors
- get consumption statistics
- visualize your trips on a map or in a table
- get the list of car charging
- visualize battery charging curve
- visualize altitude trip curve
- get car charging CO2 emission
- get car charging price
- send live data to ABetterRoutePlanner
The official API is documented here but it is not totally up to date, and contains some errors.
- Installation on Linux or Windows
- Installation as Home Assistant addon
- Installation in Docker
- Installation on Raspberry Pi with docker-compose (external Tutorial)
2.1 Get the car state
http://localhost:5000/get_vehicleinfo/YOURVIN
2.2 Get the car state from cache to avoid to use PSA API too much
http://localhost:5000/get_vehicleinfo/YOURVIN?from_cache=1
2.2 Stop charge
http://localhost:5000/charge_now/YOURVIN/0
2.3 Set hour to stop the charge to 6 am
http://localhost:5000/charge_control?vin=YOURVIN&hour=6&minute=0
2.4 Change car charge threshold to 80%
http://localhost:5000/charge_control?vin=YOURVIN&percentage=80
2.5 See the dashboard (only if record is enabled)
http://localhost:5000
2.6 Refresh car state (ask car to send its state):
http://localhost:5000/wakeup/YOURVIN
2.7 Start (1)/Stop (0) preconditioning
http://localhost:5000/preconditioning/YOURVIN/1 or 0
2.8 Change charge hour (for example: set it to 22h30)
http://localhost:5000/charge_hour?vin=YOURVIN&hour=22&minute=30
2.9 Honk the horn
http://localhost:5000/horn/YOURVIN/count
2.10 Flash the lights (Duration is always roughly 10 seconds, regardless of set duration)
http://localhost:5000/lights/YOURVIN/duration
2.11 Lock (1)/Unlock (0) the doors
http://localhost:5000/lock_door/YOURVIN/1 or 0
You can add the -r argument to record the position of the vehicle and retrieve this information in a dashboard.
python3 psa-car-controller -f config.json -c charge_config.json -r
You will be able to visualize your trips, your consumption and some statistics:
- You have to add an API key from https://home.openweathermap.org/ in your config file, to be able to see your consumption vs exterior temperature.
- You have to add an API key from https://co2signal.com/ to have your CO2 emission by KM (in France the key isn't needed).
The dashboard can give you the price by kilometer and price by kw that you pay. You just have to set the price in the config file.
After a successful launch of the app, a config.ini file will be created. In this file you can set the price you pay for electricity in the following format "0.15".
If you have a special price during the night you can set "night price", "night hour start" and "night hour end". Hours need to be in the following format "23h12".
You can modify a price manually in the dashboard. It can be useful if you use public charge point.
