Retreiving API data in Home Assistant

[lits101]

Hi all,

I'm trying to make an API call to the proxy from Home Assistant, to pull through live info like SoC, but I'm having trouble with the config. I'm using the rest integration, and my demo config is below.

`rest.yaml

• resource: "http://192.168.10.251:8080/api/1/vehicles/VIN/vehicle_data?endpoints=charge_state"
  scan_interval: 60
  sensor:
  • name: "VIN SoC Limit"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.charge_limit_soc | float }}"
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    unique_id: vin_soc_limit
    `

The above doesn't work - I get a timeout error. Has anyone else figured out how to do this?

Yes and no. I never actually got it to pull data. All I managed to do was keep my car awake 24/7. I gave up in the end, realising that it wasn't the best idea.
