Integrating Your Car with Home Assistant: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Join me, at Hive Mind Automation as I delve into integrating the new Polestar 2 with Home Assistant in this comprehensive tutorial. I'll guide you through installing a custom component via HACS and configuring it to bring vital sensor data from your vehicle right into your smart home system.
➡️ Whether you're aiming to boost your smart home's functionality or you're intrigued by the possibilities of connected car technologies, this video is loaded with insightful information. I cover everything from adding a custom repository in HACS and logging into the Polestar API, to accessing and utilizing various sensor data like battery charge levels and average energy consumption.
I'll also explore how this data can lead to practical automations that enhance both efficiency and convenience.

Well explained vids mate, great channel............ subbed!

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Thanks for the sub! Glad you like the videos.

[@leicaman]

My Subaru plug-in hybrid is similar, but does allow the car to lock. More experimentation coming. Looking to get a Polestar in the future!

[@HiveMindAutomation]

I've not had a lot of time to investigate further. the phone app allows locking, unlocking, and climate pre-conditioning, but I'm guessing there's a bunch of additional security around that.

Very interested in content like yours, and subscribed! Having said that, the scrolling text in the background is too distracting for me to actually watch the video - have to simply listen to it. 😅 Any chance you could remove that in future videos?

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Maybe just a simple animated GIF?
