Connected Cars (Volkswagen Australia)

Parameters

Name	Description	Level
`deviceToken`	Device Token Obtained via Connected Cars device registration. See https://github.com/brettch/evcc-connected-cars for scripts to perform device registration.	optional
`domain`	API Domain The API domain to use for Connected Cars. Each country typically has a unique domain. It can be found by logging into the Connected Cars GraphiQL tool (https://api.connectedcars.io/graphql/graphiql/), logging into the relevant country, and viewing the domain it uses (minus the leading "api."). Default: `au1.connectedcars.io`	optional
`namespace`	Organization Namespace The namespace is used to identify the organization within Connected Cars. It can be found by logging into the Connected Cars GraphiQL tool (https://api.connectedcars.io/graphql/graphiql/), logging into the relevant country, and viewing the "X-Organization-Namespace" header it sets for you. Default: `vwaustralia:app`	optional
`vin`	Vehicle Identification Number If you own multiple vehicles from the same manufacturer Example: `W...`	optional
`title`	Title Will be displayed in the user interface	optional
`capacity` [kWh]	Battery capacity Example: `50`	optional
`icon`	Icon Will be displayed in the user interface Default: `car`	advanced
`phases`	Maximum number of phases The maximum number of phases which can be used Example: `3`	advanced
`mode`	Default charging mode Used when a vehicle is connected. Possible values are Off, Now, MinPV and PV, or empty if none should be set	advanced
`minCurrent` [A]	Minimum amperage The minimum amperage per connected phase that can be used Example: `6`	advanced
`maxCurrent` [A]	Maximum amperage The maximum amperage per connected phase that can be used Example: `16`	advanced
`maxPower` [W]	Maximum charging power hint Defines the maximum charging power of the vehicle. Helps improve charge plan accuracy when the vehicle typically uses less than the offered current or supports higher single-phase current compared to three-phase. The offered current of the loadpoint is not affected. Example: `10000`	advanced
`identifiers`	Identification Mostly this can be added later, see: https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/features/vehicle	advanced
`priority`	Priority Priority of the loadpoint or vehicle in relation to other loadpoints or vehicles for allocating pv energy	advanced
`cache`	Cache Time interval for data refresh Default: `15m` Example: `5m`	advanced
