It creates a similar HA climate entity as wattmatters has shown above.

Yes, I can start the climate control remotely from HA or from the App. One oddity is that the HA integration doesn’t show the heating/cooling running when you set it in the car. Some cons to this integration: It is not supported currently. It doesn’t check messages like the other integration so...

It has a binary_sensor for the lock status of the car and individual binary_sensors for the open/closed status of each door, window, etc.

This integration also has an instant_power sensor which shows the power to the motor or negative regeneration. I don't use it for anything as it is the value at a moment in time which isn't of much interest. Perhaps the other integration combined the two sensors into one, although I don't...

I'm using the ad-ha/mg-saic-ha: MG SAIC Custom Integration for Home Assistant. There are pros and cons to the two integrations but I'm surprised the one you are using doesn't have the charging_power sensor. Perhaps ask on the github page for that integration.

I find that what ever colour car I have it shows the dirt worse than others in the street. I’m sure it had been cleaned when I bought it 12 months ago. Is this covered under the warranty? 🙂

It might depend on which integration you are using. I have a sensor called charging_power which shows just that.

My 2 previous cars: Renault Clio 2007 - had auto wipe but it was inconsistent requiring regular intervention so generally annoying. Audi A3 2018 - had auto wipe that worked perfectly. I don’t really miss it on the MG4, it is only worth having if it works perfectly and definitely not if it...

Sitting in my local cafe in Baildon, West Yorkshire and spotted a blue ‘Left Hand Drive’ MG4 pass by. Somebody is a long way from home😃

You might find that you have Intelligent Battery Heating turned on as I think it is turned on by default. Once the ambient temperature drops below about 10 C it heats the battery whilst you are driving. As @siteguru points out, this uses a lot of kWh and severely hits efficiency, particularly...

We live on a very steep quiet hill, about 100m long. I just stick it in neutral and gently brake down the hill every couple of weeks, when I remember. Keeps the discs clean, as far as I can see.

I also prefer the updated 1 mph increments for short presses and I've become a dab hand at hitting 5, or 10, increments with carefully judged long presses. Whilst liking the fine adjustment, I usually set to round numbers for speed limits, i.e. 40 in 40 mph zone, as I find the MG4 speed...

You can set up more than one secondary account, so have the app and Home Assistant integration active at the same time. The car is bound to the main account only.

There does seem to be some conflicting information there.🤔 Try checking back later and see if the status has updated. Perhaps it’s lagging behind.

Maybe I’m missing something but doesn’t that mean your tax will run out at the end of this month, it says tax due 1st April 2025? Mine says Taxed, Tax due: 1 March 2026.

It does indeed. Also I've checked and the update period for electricity is actually 10 seconds, I've edited my previous post.

I do similar with Home Assistant to virtually eliminate clipping. Luxpower inverters have a mode called 'Charge Last' which switches the priority, after house load, to export rather than charge the batteries. In that mode only the solar generation over the inverter AC capacity goes to the...

I have an Octopus Mini which basically acts as a link between your smart meters and Octopus so that the info in the Octopus app is effectively live. For electricity it updates about every 15 secs if I remember correctly (EDIT it is actually every 10 seconds). I can't check just now as I'm not...

I understand your concern I felt the same way when I started on IOG. When I got slots outside the off peak I was checking on the usage charts in the Octopus App to try and make sure I was being charged at the off peak rate. The charts in the App show costs based on the peak rate even when it’s...

Good point👍
