2 Volkswagen cars

[Breuj]

I have installed CarConnectivity: 0.11.8, volkswagen: 0.10.3, seatcupra: 0.6, webui: 0.7.1. mqtt: 0.9.2
So far it is working fine for an ID3 and a Seat Cupra
Now I have added a 3rd connector for a Volkswagen ID4. Unfortunately I cannot start carConnectivity again.
Curiously, in principle both Volkswagen connectors are working fine but not together. So I can have the ID3 and the Cupra or the ID4 and the Cupra working but not all three together.
Here my configuration file. Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

It probably gives you an error like Invalid configuration: connector 'volkswagen' is not unique, set a 'connector_id' in configuration
Just put in the json for the Volkswagen connectors under the type line e.g.
"connector_id": "volkswagenID3" and "connector_id": "volkswagenID4". Then it can distinguish the two and should start again.

Great ! It works perfectly now. Thank you very much for your fast reply.
Still one small questions:
For the Volkswagen cars there is a MQTT-topic "carconnectivity/0/garage/WVXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/charging/settings/target_level_writetopic" which I cannot find for the Cupra.

Is it possible to add such a topic ?
Thank you very much.

[tillsteinbach]

it is implemented, so in theory it should be there. I cannot test as I don't have a cupra vehicle. Is it a BEV or a hybrid?

This Cupra is a full electric car. Attached is a list with topics the cars are listen to. Have tied to send such a command topic to the Cupra with no reaction while the ID’s are executing it directly. On the other side, there is a topic “target-temperature” for the Cupra which is not available for the ID’s.

That is very weird. I would need more debug data to find this.
For the missing target_level, maybe the charging capability is not there, or supportsTargetStateOfCharge parameter is false.

the missing target_temperature may be fixed in the newest version of the Volkswagen connector.
