Renault

The Renault integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] connects your Renault, Dacia, or Alpine vehicle to Home Assistant through the My Renault cloud service. It uses the same account as the My Renault app on your phone.

For example, you can:

• See the battery level, range, charge state, and mileage of your vehicle on your dashboard.
• Get notified when charging is complete.
• Pre-heat or pre-cool the cabin before you leave in the morning.
• Start or stop charging, or set battery charge limits, based on your energy prices.
• Track the location of your vehicle.

Supported devices

The integration works with vehicles that are linked to a My Renault account. The features available depend on the vehicle model, and some features require a subscription. The following models are known to work:

• Renault: 4 E-Tech, 5 E-Tech, Arkana E-Tech, Austral, Captur II, Clio V, Espace VI, Master E-Tech, Megane IV, Megane E-Tech, Rafale, Scenic E-Tech, Symbioz, Twingo III Z.E., Zoe
• Dacia: Bigster, Duster III, Sandero III, Spring
• Alpine: A290

Other models linked to a My Renault account may also work. In that case, the integration uses a default set of features and writes a message to the log.

Prerequisites

• A My Renault account with your vehicle linked to it. If you can see your vehicle in the My Renault app, the integration can access it.
• The email address and password you use to sign in to the My Renault app.
• For remote control features, such as starting the air conditioning or charging, your vehicle might need an active subscription, such as the Pack EV Remote Control or the Pack Smart Navigation.

Configuration

To add the Renault hub to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

If your email address is linked to more than one Kamereon account, Home Assistant asks you to select the account your vehicles are assigned to. If there is only one account, it is selected automatically.

Each vehicle linked to the account is added as a device, named after its registration number.

To change the locale, email address, or password later, go to Settings > Devices & services, select Renault, then select the three dots menu next to the entry, and select Reconfigure. You must select the same Kamereon account.

Renault automation examples

The Renault integration lets you react to the state of your vehicle and control it from your automations. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Automation: Get notified when charging is complete

Send a notification to your phone when your vehicle finishes charging. Replace the entity IDs in the example with the entity IDs of your vehicle and phone.

• Trigger: State: Charge state changes to Charge ended
  • Target: Your vehicle’s Charge state sensor
• Action: Send a notification message
  • Target: My Device (notify.my_device)

alias: "Notify when the car has finished charging"
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: sensor.reg_number_charge_state
    to: "charge_ended"
actions:
  - action: notify.send_message
    target:
      entity_id: notify.my_device
    data:
      message: "Your car has finished charging."

Automation: Pre-heat the cabin on weekday mornings

Start the air conditioning at 19°C at 7:30 on weekdays, so the cabin is comfortable when you leave. To find the vehicle ID for the YAML example, select the vehicle in the UI editor first, then switch to YAML mode.

• Trigger: Time
  • At time: 07:30:00
  • Days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
• Action: Start A/C
  • Vehicle: Your vehicle
  • Temperature: 19

alias: "Pre-heat the car on weekday mornings"
triggers:
  - trigger: time
    at: "07:30:00"
    weekday:
      - mon
      - tue
      - wed
      - thu
      - fri
actions:
  - action: renault.ac_start
    data:
      vehicle: abcde1234567890abcde1234567890ab
      temperature: 19

Data updates

The Renault integration pollsData polling is the process of querying a device or service at regular intervals to check for updates or retrieve data. By defining a custom polling interval, you can control how frequently your system checks for new data, which can help optimize performance and reduce unnecessary network traffic. [Learn more] the Renault servers for data. The vehicle data is split into several groups, such as battery, location, and air conditioning. The integration makes on average one request per minute, so each value is updated every N minutes, where N is the total number of data groups across all your vehicles. For example, if your vehicle supports 6 groups, each value is updated every 6 minutes. With 2 such vehicles on the same account, each value is updated every 12 minutes.

This keeps the integration within the request limits of the Renault servers. If the servers still report that too many requests were made, the integration pauses updates for 15 minutes and keeps showing the last known values.

When you change a charge limit, Home Assistant shows the new value right away, before the Renault servers confirm it.

Known limitations

• The integration depends on the Renault servers and on an internet connection. It cannot connect to the vehicle directly.
• Some features require a subscription, such as the Pack EV Remote Control or the Pack Smart Navigation.
• Not all features are available on all models. For example, the horn, lights, and tire pressure are not available on many recent vehicles, and some electric vehicles cannot stop charging remotely.
• Two-factor authentication on the My Renault account is not supported.
• A vehicle that you add to your My Renault account later only appears in Home Assistant after you reload the integration.
• The Start air conditioner button always uses 21°C. To use another temperature, use the Start A/C action.

Troubleshooting

Reporting an issue

When you report an issue, include a debug log and the diagnostics data:

1. Turn on debug logging for the Renault integration.
2. Reload the integration, and wait until the issue occurs again.
3. Turn off debug logging. The debug log file downloads automatically.
4. Download the diagnostics data of the integration or the vehicle.

Removing the integration

This integration follows standard integration removal. No extra steps are required.

To remove an integration instance from Home Assistant

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services and select the integration card.
2. From the list of devices, select the integration instance you want to remove.
3. Next to the entry, select the three dots menu. Then, select Delete.

Removing a vehicle you no longer own

When you remove a vehicle from your My Renault account, it stays in Home Assistant. To remove it:

1. Go to Settings > Devices & services and select Renault.
2. Select the three dots menu next to the entry, and select Reload.
3. Select the vehicle, then select the three dots menu and select Delete.

You can only delete a vehicle that is no longer linked to your account.
