This custom component allows Home Assistant users to integrate and control their Lynk & Co vehicles directly from Home Assistant. It provides the functionality for multiple users to control pre climate and sensor monitoring. An experimental service to start and stop the engine is included as well as lock and unlock doors, and monitor various vehicle statuses like battery level, fuel level, and climate control status, enhancing the smart home experience with vehicle management. This has been tested on european models only.

Before installing this component, make sure you have:
- Home Assistant running.
- Access to your Lynk & Co account credentials.
- Your vehicle's VIN.
- Navigate to HACS in Home Assistant.
- Go to "Integrations".
- Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select "Custom repositories".
- Enter the URL of this GitHub repository.
- Select "Integration" in the "Category" dropdown.
- Click "Add".
- Find the Lynk & Co integration in the HACS Integrations section and click "Install".
- Restart Home Assistant.
Configure this integration through the Home Assistant UI.
- Navigate to Configuration > Integrations in Home Assistant.
- Click on "Add Integration" and search for "Lynk & Co".
- Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your vehicle details and complete the setup.
Options can be configured through the Options Flow in the Home Assistant UI:
- Navigate to Configuration > Integrations.
- Find the Lynk & Co integration and click "Configure".
- Adjust settings such as scan interval and experimental features:
- Enable or disable experimental features.
- Configure the scan interval (in minutes) to control how frequently your vehicle's data is updated.
- Set the start and end times for "dark hours" to limit automatic data updates during certain hours.
The device will auto-update once every other hour by default and is configurable in the options flow to update every 1-24 hours. The system seems to be more stable with longer intervals, use force_update_data service to update when needed instead. The device will also update itself when expecting a new state after a service has been called.
This component offers various services to interact with your vehicle, including:
start_climate/stop_climate: Starts or stops the climate control system.lock_doors/unlock_doors: Locks or unlocks the doors.start_flash_lights/stop_flash_lights: Activates or deactivates hazard lights.start_honk/stop_honk: Activates or deactivates honk.start_honk_flash: Activates honk and hazard lights.start_engine/stop_engine: Starts or stops the engine. (Note: This feature is experimental and is not documented by Lynk & Co.)force_update_data: Forcing update data from the vehicle, bypassing night limit.refresh_tokens: Refreshes authentication tokens, this should not be needed, handled automatically.
- start_engine / stop_engine: This service allows you to remotely start or stop your vehicle's engine. It's an experimental feature not officially supported by the Lynk & Co app. Use with caution, as it may not always perform as expected. My observations are that the EV engine will be started and climate will be set to your latest configuration in the car. This has not been tested without sufficient EV battery.
The integration creates entities for comprehensive monitoring and control of the Lynk & Co vehicle, including both sensors and binary sensors.
Sensors provide detailed information about various aspects of the vehicle's status and environment. These include:
- Lynk & Co Odometer: Measures the total distance the vehicle has traveled in kilometers.
- Lynk & Co Battery: Shows the current battery charge level as a percentage.
- Lynk & Co Fuel Level: Displays the current fuel level in liters.
- Lynk & Co Fuel Level Status: Indicates the status of the fuel level.
- Lynk & Co Fuel Distance: Reports the estimated distance (in kilometers) that can be traveled with the remaining fuel.
- Lynk & Co Time Until Charged: Provides the estimated time (in minutes) until the battery is fully charged.
- Lynk & Co Battery Distance: Shows the estimated distance (in kilometers) that can be traveled on battery power alone.
- Lynk & Co Interior Temperature: Reports the temperature inside the vehicle in degrees Celsius.
- Lynk & Co Exterior Temperature: Displays the temperature outside the vehicle in degrees Celsius.
- Lynk & Co Charger Connection Status: Indicates whether the charger is connected or disconnected.
- Lynk & Co Charge State: Shows the current charging state of the vehicle.
- Lynk & Co Address: Displays the vehicle's current address in a human-readable format.
- Lynk & Co Address Raw: Provides the vehicle's current address in a format that includes raw data, potentially useful for integration with mapping services.
- Lynk & Co Door Lock Status: Indicates the current lock status of the vehicle's doors.
- Lynk & Co Last Updated by Car: Timestamp of the last update received from the vehicle.
Binary sensors indicate specific vehicle states that have a true or false condition. These include:
- Pre Climate Active: Indicates whether the pre-climate control system is active, ensuring the vehicle's interior is at a comfortable temperature before you enter. It uses the icon
mdi:air-conditionerto visually represent this feature in the Home Assistant UI. - Vehicle is Running: Shows if the vehicle's engine is currently running. This sensor is on if car is running either normally or by start engine service.
For a comprehensive list of all entities, including detailed descriptions and additional sensors, please refer to Detailed Entities Information.
- 2FA Code Issues: Ensure the code is entered correctly and within its validity period. Generate a new code if issues persist.
- Connection Issues: Check that your vehicle is in an area with good cellular reception and that your Lynk & Co account is active and not facing any service disruptions.
