Pull Data from Your Car into Home Assistant // Tasker and Torque

I guess the link was broken, it should be fixed now. I also went ahead and provided example code for creating the virtual device tracker in Home Assistant using the GPS data.

I keep getting Json format errors in tasker for the CartoHa task 🫤

None of the redirection links work..

I think it is actually OBD but you say it ODB

Thanks! I got everything done including updating to the mqtt.yaml (one of your other videos). I can see the data in MQTT Explorer but I'm missing something because I can't see any of the sensors in HA. What could cause them to be in MQTT Explorer but not HA? I have other MQTT sensors from HASS Agent. The ones from Tasker are the first ones I've tried to configure that are manually defined. Thanks and keep it up. I'm learning a lot!

Great video, been looking for something like this for a while. I feel like I skipped a chapter though. How did you get that MQTT Explorer page? All my testing from the Tasker side is successful, I have my yaml mqtt sensors configured and even adjusted to your update video where you have a sensor domain under mqtt. But still not seeing entities in my HASS.

Cant get it work on my Chevy G20 :(

I'm having a hard time understanding how to link the longitude and latitude to an entity with automatic location updates. I have edited and copied the provided yaml into the services submenu shown in your video. However, the template does not pass along the right values when testing. I'm unsure how to port the code into an automation, if I need to put it into a configuration file, etc. I can see in the template editor that the formatting is correct, but I don't know how to properly get the long and lat to show on a map nicely. Help would very much be appreciated

It's OBD, not ODB..

This is a great tutorial! and a great idea... as soon as i came accross this i jumped and oreder an OBDII connector... Unfortunately I'm not able to see the mqtt entity in Dev Tools. I might be doing something wrong. :(

Great Job .... Keep going ahead cause everyday waiting for your vidoes. Thnx A lot Bro

The most terrific HA tutorial I've seen in a long while. Wish there was a way to connect the OBDII dongle permanently without worrying for the car's battery.

Great project. Some folks have Android car decks so they can integrate Tasker and HA with the OBD2 sensor in the deck without the need of a phone.
With the advent of Bluetooth Proxies, can you do a video using the OBD2 BT connected directly to a BT proxy (ESP32) that connects to Wifi in your car (either built-in or via a hotspot) with the BT proxy configured with your DNS entry to your HA setup? And show how the BT proxy can collect the OBD2 data directly and send via MQTT please? Thanks!

Yes please, could you explain how to set up the device_tracker.see?

Hey thanks for sharing! went out and bought the device and torque Pro app, and within 10 minutes, I was up and running! I actually got it to work via the internal web service from the app, Torque reports it directly to my HA instance, and I used the Torque integration. I now have several sensors in HA without the need for parsing and mqtt...so that was easy! I do have a question: can this set up send you notifications if there is Check Engine Light on? Is there a sensor for that? thanks

love this!
I'll give it a try soon!

Hey, where can I find your guide to help create and setup the MQTT sensors for Home Assistant?

IFTTT is a great alternative for iOS

I came across this by accident when I couldn't sleep. As a HA household we are really into energy monitoring at the moment and I love the concept of this. So much so that I've ordered an ODB2 connector to give it a try.
I suspect I will be rewatching this video a few times :) Many thanks

Am I the only one who noticed he said ODBII instead of OBDII (On Board Diagnostics)

If you ever have a chance, could you explain about the Nabu Casa use case in a video with this? I'm really trying to decide whether it's worth going away from Nabu Casa to Duck DNS

There is a Home Assistant built in integration named Torque. Why didn't you use that? Torque seems to be able to send the data direct to Home assistant.

thanks, i am looking for that for a long time

the link to blog post dosent working

Thanks for the video, but somehow I didn't understand how HA gets data from MQTT? I have latitude and longitude in MQTT, but I don't know how to transfer it to a virtual device tracker. Thanks for the help.

Awsome guide! than you!
