You can use https://github.com/DurgNomis-drol/ha_toyota instead, many of the same data (and more) are present.

As I am not into python programming, this is kind of a workaround; I assume that some small python code could extend the tojota code to a custom Home Assistant AddOn.

As the output is json, it can be imported into Splunk, Humio, Power BI, E(LK), DataDog Logs etc etc  - pretty easy. Most of these just require a collector application/agent on the server. 


Prerequisites

A Linux sever running python 3.6+

An (apache) web server

Pulling https://github.com/calmjm/tojota to the linux server

Changing the tojota code

I will not go into setting up the https://github.com/calmjm/tojota as such, but as the code does make date-marked files, I am changing the code to make a static filename instead. This must be done every time a new version is pulled from guthub.

These lines are mine (replacing existing lines):

odometer_file = odometer_path / 'odometer.json'

parking_file = parking_path / 'parking.json'

remote_control_file = remote_control_path / 'remote_control.json'

making sure is a static file each time, that is just being overwritten.

I am running this code from cron to get the data from MyT:

tojota.sh
#!/bin/bash

cd /home/bnp
source /home/bnp/tojota/bin/activate
export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8
cd /home/bnp/tojota
python tojota.py

https://github.com/calmjm/tojota also downloads Trips, but I have found no usage for the currently in Home Assistant..

Exposing data for the HA Rest service

I am making the files available on the local apache server; same server where Home Assitant runs:

➜  tojota git:(master) ✗ cd /var/www/html/mytoyota 
➜  mytoyota ls -l
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  45 May  4 19:35 odometer.json -> /home/bnp/tojota/cache/odometer/odometer.json
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  43 May  5 07:26 parking.json -> /home/bnp/tojota/cache/parking/parking.json
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  57 May  4 19:35 remote_control.json -> /home/bnp/tojota/cache/remote_control/remote_control.json
➜  mytoyota 

Output of code

The output looks like this:

➜  odometer git:(master) ✗ cat odometer.json 
[{"type":"mileage","value":34938,"unit":"km"},{"type":"Fuel","value":77.0}]

Getting the GPS Data on a Device

Taken from https://community.home-assistant.io/t/create-a-device-tracker-from-sensor-template-gps-coordinates-from-rest-api/93993

In known_devices.yaml I create the car:

rav4:
  hide_if_away: false
  icon: mdi:car
  name: Toyota Rav4
  track: true


And an automation set the lat and lon onto the device:

alias: Update Car Tracker
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: state_changed
    event_data:
      entity_id: sensor.toyota_rav4_parking
condition: []
action:
  - service: device_tracker.see
    data:
      dev_id: rav4
      gps:
        - '{{ state_attr(''sensor.toyota_rav4_parking'', ''lat'') }}'
        - '{{ state_attr(''sensor.toyota_rav4_parking'', ''lon'') }}'
mode: single
