link updated , it was embedded to to copy,

I have created a module based on the volvo2mqtt but than made it dedicated for EVCC as Diele from volvo2mqtt does not want to include any changes for EVCC.

The new module is already running in production with multiple community members and running stable for more than a week.

Added features VS volvo2mqtt:

Fixed car detection status now exposed to the API and EVCC
No Constant live poll Only poll when connected and charging based on EVCC API. Update poll interval based on connection and SOC (high interval when charging, low interval when connected but not charging, super low interval when not connected)
Only pull data interesting for EVCC from API to increase security (No more exposing coordinates of the car and exposing unlock to thiefs)
Request minimal Oauth scope in auth session to improve security
Handle all credentials encrypted at all times
Application is Multi threaded to increase flexibility
Volvo4Evcc is using a super light weight web instance to host the JSON response meaning no MQTT or extra broker is needed.
Direct EVCC Yaml integration
Auto application restarts and start-up via crontab no matter if app is started already

Added weather module to enhance solar charging in EVCC

@andig Let me know if you need anything else

Interesting PR. I'm not sure we want to add more Volvo integrations. For time being I'd be happy that this integration is possible using custom vehicles, even if we don't provide a template for it.

Thank you for the PR and your interest in evcc!

Ok understood for now,

@andig Do we at least have a possibility that you can mention the solution in the evcc wiki so the community can decide / has a chance to migrate to the better supported solution. The one you currently support already say they are not interested in any EVCC related changes and dont want to have anything to do with evcc. Where i will support evcc as primary app.

I don't think it fits the current wiki usage (@naltatis) but https://github.com/evcc-io/evcc/discussions/categories/lösungen should be a good place for sharing your solution?
