Charging start / stop

[jamisi]

Hello, thank you for the module. I can connect all_cars,py to the car and I receive information. Can you please give an example how to start / stop the Volkswagen charging? Thanks.

I added an example here: https://github.com/tillsteinbach/CarConnectivity/blob/main/examples/start_stop_charging.py

please note that I also made it a bit easier to work with commands. So the example will work only with recent git version until the next release.

Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I only had time to test the program now. Unfortunately, the program did not go through, and I received the following error messages:

read CarConnectivity configuration

Traceback (most recent call last):

In the input I have the config.json, which I can connect and get data with all_cars.py. Also I added the VIN-code and start -command. Please advice. Thanks.

did you update everything to the latest version?

Hi, I updated this version carconnectivity-connector-volkswagen 0.7.2.It is working now. I had to remove the older version, before it stated to work. Thanks.

Is starting/stopping charging supposed to work on a Seat Mii? I use the Home Assistant Addon v0.2.12 and using the switch does nothing, the protocol contains no errors.
