NissanConnect [JAPAN] for Home Assistant

An unofficial integration for interacting with Nissan Connect Japan EV vehicles. Based on the work of mitchellrj, tobiaswk and dan-r. I have no affiliation with Nissan besides owning one of their cars.

If you find any bugs or would like to request a feature, please open an issue.

Tested Vehicles

This integration has been tested with the following vehicles:

• Nissan Leaf (2012)
• Any other EVvehicle that works using app should work. ICE-cars have a separate app, and I'm not sure if it works.

Only for Japan!

The API for NissanConnect app for use in Japan. Underlying authentication method and API paths are different compared to US and EU versions. Japanese app uses username and password for sign-in, vs OAUTH in EU.

Update Time

Terminology used for this integration:

• Polling - the car is woken up and new status is reported
• Update - data is fetched from Nissan but the car is not woken up

Following the model of leaf2mqtt, this integration can be set to use a different update time when plugged in. When HVAC is turned on the update time drops to once per minute.

To prevent excessive 12v battery drain when plugged in but not charging for extended periods of time, the interval reverts to the standard update interval after 4 consecutive updates show the car as plugged in but not charging. This logic was added to give the benefit of quicker response times on the charging status binary sensor, which can be especially useful when charging with load-balanced or 'smart' chargers.
