# VolvoOnCall Binding
This binding integrates the Volvo On Call (opens new window) compatible vehicles. The integration happens through the WirelessCar Remote API.
# Supported Things
All cars compatible with Volvo On Call shall be supported by this binding.
# Discovery
Once a VocApi Bridge has been created with according credential, vehicles connected to this account will automatically be detected.
# Binding Configuration
The binding has no configuration options itself, all configuration is done at 'Things' level.
# Bridge Configuration
The 'VolvoOnCall API' bridge uses the owner's email address and password in order to access the VOC Remote API. This is the same email address and password as used in the VolvoOnCall smartphone app, that allows to remotely control your car(s).
| Parameter | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| username | Username from the VolvoOnCall app (email address) | yes |
| password | Password from the VolvoOnCall app | yes |
Once the bridge created, you will be able to launch discovery of the vehicles attached to it.
# Thing Configuration
The 'VolvoOnCall API' bridge uses the owner's email address and password in order to access the VOC Remote API.
| Parameter | Name | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| vin | Vin | Vehicle Identification Number of the car | yes |
| refreshinterval | Refresj Interval | Interval in minutes to refresh the data (default=10) | yes |
# Channels
All numeric channels use the UoM feature (opens new window). This means you can easily change the desired unit e.g. miles/h instead of km/h just in your item definition.
#####Thing properties Some of the channels are only available for specific cars and models.
Following channels are currently available:

if(null === actions) {
logInfo("actions", "Actions not found, check thing ID")
return
} else {
actions.openCarCommand()
}
Example 1b: If Thing has been created using script
val actions = getActions("volvooncall","volvooncall:vehicle:bridgeId:thingId")
if(null === actions) {
logInfo("actions", "Actions not found, check thing ID")
return
} else {
actions.openCarCommand()
}
