The Volvo integration is used to integrate your Volvo vehicle.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
lock | Lock | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (contact) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
device_tracker | Presence (as an occupancy sensor) |
What people report
Volvo uses the cloud API for cars with Volvo On Call (2010-2024) or Google built-in. It cannot provide live updates or tire pressure.

Limitations from the docs
- The official Volvo app has access to a more feature-rich API. As a result, this integration cannot provide live updates, display tire pressure values, start air purifying, schedule climatization, show climatization status, and so on.
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
