CarConnectivity
CarConnectivity will become the successor of WeConnect-python in 2025 with similar functionality but support for other brands beyond Volkswagen!
Python API to connect to various car services. If you are not a developer and ended up here you probably want to check out a project using this library (see below).
Projects in which the library is used
- CarConnectivity-cli: A commandline interface to interact with your Vehicles
- CarConnectivity-MQTT: A MQTT Client that provides Vehicle data to the MQTT Broker of your choice (e.g. your home automation solution such as ioBroker, FHEM or Home Assistant)
Supported Car Brands
CarConenctivity uses a connector plugin architecture to enable access to the services of various brands. Currently known connector plugins are:
| Brand | Connector | Maintainer |
|---|---|---|
| Skoda | CarConnectivity-connector-skoda | tillsteinbach |
| Volkswagen | CarConnectivity-connector-volkswagen | tillsteinbach |
| Volkswagen (North America only) | CarConnectivity-connector-volkswagen-na | zackcornelius |
| Seat/Cupra | CarConnectivity-connector-seatcupra | tillsteinbach |
| Audi | CarConnectivity-connector-audi | acfischer42 |
| Tronity | CarConnectivity-connector-tronity | tillsteinbach |
If you know of a connector not listed here let me know and I will add it to the list. If you are a python developer and willing to implement a connector for a brand not listed here, let me know and I try to support you as good as possible
