I’ve been using Tronity for almost exactly 3 years. With this service, you can monitor, record and analyze a lot of data from your electric car. The platform also offers an automatic logbook that is 100% tax office compliant. You not only have all trips and charges, to which you can assign different charging tariffs, in view - other fixed costs can also be recorded with it.

Tronity already had an interface for ioBroker and now an integration for Home Assistant has also been added, which grants access to the most important vehicle data. There are now Home Assistant integrations for many electric cars, but they are often somewhat cumbersome to configure. This is also the case with the integration for my Tesla Model 3, where you first have to read out a token via workarounds, etc. For Tesla drivers, there is of course also TeslaMate , which also means a higher installation effort, but of course also offers more possibilities.
How to install the Tronity integration for Home Assistant
The Tronity integration, on the other hand, is ready for use in just a few minutes:
Download the extension from the GitHub repository and unzip it
In the custom-components folder of Home Assistant, create a new folder tronity and copy the unzipped content into it. The File Browser Addon is very well suited for this, and not only for this purpose.
Then restart Home Assistant. Afterwards, add tronity: to the configuration.yaml and restart once more. Via Devices and Services, you can then activate the Tronity integration with the blue button at the bottom right.
To connect Tronity with Home Assistant, you need a Client ID, Client Secret and Vehicle ID, which you can create or read out at https://app.tronity.tech/apps .
This completes the configuration and you have new entities available in Home Assistant that begin with tronity….
For my Tesla Model 3, there are currently 8 entities that provide information about charge level, charging process, range, vehicle name and mileage. This should be sufficient for many users. For all electric car owners for whom there is no possibility of integration into Home Assistant yet, this extension from Tronity is of course most welcome.
With the help of this data, things like automatic reminders for charging or retightening wheel nuts, etc. can then be created. There are hardly any limits to the imagination here.
If you want to test Tronity via this link , your free trial period will be extended from 2 to 4 weeks!
