[RELEASE] Nissan Leaf integration leaf2mqtt

⚙️ Custom Apps and Drivers
1

Hello everyone,

I created a driver to get my Nissan Leaf battery level.
Plenty of growth possibilities, but better start simple.

The easy way requires some knowledge and possibility to run containers. The leaf2mqtt container polls the car and populates a topic on an mqtt bus. The driver gets the data from the mqtt bus.

Installation

Hope it helps others

Jean.

v2 code update

Due to mqtt connection losses, I made a couple changes:

  • auto reconnect
  • keepalive publishing a timestamp to mqtt

I’m very surprised to find this article, with no one replying to it. I just bought a Nissan leaf and was looking for something that can do exactly what you are saying your custom app does. Thank you very much!

I’m probably a bit off from trying to implement this, especially since I’m not sure what those containers are you mentioned.

But again, thank you very much for your post!

Thanks for the message @IT_Guy I hope you manage to get it all running.
I took the opportunity to update the driver based on experience with a flakey mqtt server.
I published v3 in github.
Seem like there's still some work needed though.
