Test ID.7

[pahenning]

Great work, the brand new ID.7 is now part of my FHEM smarthome.

Feature suggestion: Currently, a single user/password combination for the car is accepted. If different users operate the car, quite a few data items are not available in case the weconnect-mqtt login is under another user name.

It should be possible to provide credentials for different users, and then switch the weconnect-mqtt login according to the person currently operating the car.

Hey, I‘d rather prefer VW fixing this. For legacy cars it works charmingly with different users…

Seems like VW is fixing this in some kind of way, they announced a "new experience" (rough translation below):

Demnächst können nicht nur Hauptnutzer, sondern auch angemeldete Gastnutzer zum Beispiel die Personalisierungsfunktion mit Sitzeinstellungen oder Klimaanlage nutzen oder den Batterieladestand des ID. in der Volkswagen App auf ihrem Mobiltelefon einsehen – auch wenn sie sich nicht im Fahrzeug befinden (Remote Zugriff). Darüber hinaus werden die Remote Dienste sowohl für Hauptnutzer als auch für Gastnutzer verfügbar sein, unabhängig davon, wer zuletzt im Fahrzeug angemeldet war.

which translates to:

In the future, also guest user can use seat and climate control or see the battery level. Main users will be able to use that, even when they haven't been the last one using the car.

Yes, I've read this as well. Seems they listened to me ;-))

Is it fixed now? I think the change was rolled out.

[pahenning]

The change is in effect - but we did not really have the chance to test for differences. I'll post an amendment here as soon as I see a difference.

OK, it seems that rather trivial data (odometer value and SOC) can be obtained by the main user also when a "guest user" is logged into the vehicle. However, no systematic difference discovered so far.
