onstar2mqtt

A service that utilizes the OnStarJS library to expose OnStar data to MQTT topics.

The functionality is mostly focused around EVs (specifically the Bolt EV), however PRs for other vehicle types are certainly welcome.

There is no affiliation with this project and GM, Chevrolet nor OnStar. In fact, it would be nice if they'd even respond to development requests so we wouldn't have to reverse engineer their API.

Running

Collect the following information:

  1. Generate a v4 uuid for the device ID
  2. OnStar login: username, password, PIN
  3. Your car's VIN. Easily found in the monthly OnStar diagnostic emails.
  4. MQTT server information: hostname, username, password
    1. If using TLS, define MQTT_PORT and MQTT_TLS=true

Supply these values to the ENV vars below.

docker run \
  --env ONSTAR_DEVICEID= \
  --env ONSTAR_VIN= \
  --env ONSTAR_USERNAME= \
  --env ONSTAR_PASSWORD= \
  --env ONSTAR_PIN= \
  --env MQTT_HOST= \
  --env MQTT_USERNAME \
  --env MQTT_PASSWORD \
