OVMS Home Assistant Documentation Overview

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to integrating Open Vehicle Monitoring System (OVMS) with Home Assistant. It covers:

  • Step-by-step instructions for setting up OVMS modules to communicate with Home Assistant using MQTT protocols, with accurate data usage expectations and performance metrics.
  • Multiple implementation approaches, including the automated integration method (with HACS) and manual YAML configuration options to suit different user preferences.
  • Detailed security implementation guidance for establishing secure TLS/SSL connections between OVMS, MQTT brokers, and Home Assistant.
  • Practical optimization strategies to minimize data usage while maintaining functionality, with specific recommendations for both V2 and V3 protocols.
  • Troubleshooting resources and configuration examples to help users resolve common integration challenges.
