Home Assistant integration for Audi · VW · Škoda · SEAT · CUPRA · Porsche · VW US/CA.

What's new in this release / Was ist neu in diesem Release

Every fix below was cross-checked against how the leading open-source VW / Škoda
libraries handle the same code path before it shipped.

Fixed

• Climate no longer shows "off" while the car is actively heating or cooling. On
  VW / SEAT / CUPRA the climate entity read Off during pre-conditioning (so a
  heat_cool automation never fired) because the backend sends the state in
  lowercase and the entity compared case-sensitively. It now matches the
  climatisation switch exactly.
• A remote command can no longer be sent to the car twice. On a multi-vehicle /
  portal account a slow refresh could blow the 60-second command lock, after which
  the physical command (charging / unlock / aux-heating) was re-sent unlocked.
  The lock now guards only acquiring the turn and never re-sends on timeout, and the
  follow-up refresh runs outside the command so a portal hiccup can't be reported as
  a failed button press.
• Parked location stops going stale on Škoda / SEAT / CUPRA. The 24-hour guard
  against showing an ancient parked position was silently skipped for these brands, so
  a location could read as "current" indefinitely once the backend stopped serving it.
• Aux-heating now honours your duration / temperature sliders instead of always
  falling back to 30 min / 21 °C.
• The Škoda official channel can no longer push the odometer backwards. A staler
  rate-limited reading could overwrite a fresher mileage; it now never regresses.
• No more false red tyre-pressure warning. A car reporting an
  "unavailable / unknown / not-supported" tyre status lit the tyre problem sensor red
  with no actual fault. Absent-telemetry statuses no longer trigger a warning; a real
  low-pressure fault still does.
• Škoda "charged energy" total no longer spikes the Energy Dashboard. The lifetime
  figure could drop and be read as a meter reset (phantom kWh). It is now clamped so it
  never goes backwards. Interim — a true lifetime total is coming.

Added

• SEAT / CUPRA trip-statistics sensors now appear. Last-trip distance, average
  speed and consumption, and lifetime distance were already fetched every poll but
  never shown for these two brands. Thanks @indigomejor for flagging the trip-stats
  gap (#1309 / #1310).
• The Škoda official public-API channel now surfaces much more. When the official
  channel is your source it now also shows charge rate / type / completion time,
  battery-care and plug auto-unlock state, climate-ready time and window heating,
  lights / sunroof / bonnet, AdBlue range, the secondary engine on plug-in hybrids,
  and the car image — plus the auxiliary-heating status and active-ventilation state
  that previously read "unknown" on Škoda.

Security

• Parking city no longer leaks in a diagnostics download. The diagnostics file (the
  one you are steered to attach to a GitHub issue) redacted the parking address but left
  the parking city in cleartext. It is now redacted with the rest of the location data.
