The home aquarium has interesting side effects. I have finally found time and Home Assistant installed on a Raspi to automate and control various things here in the house. Quite simply a la If/Then/Else principle, just with all the “intelligent” components in the house on a platform. Actually I wanted to pair my cameras with my light control. By chance I came across the fact that the platform I have chosen for this also has one. In practice, that means that I can query all VOC sensors via HA, monitor and react to status changes. This allows exciting automations (a few ideas about which can be argued over): I have not yet completely implemented anything of it but only the VOC sensors put together on one side of the admin interface, see photo in the appendix. Prio currently has the house control but there is a lot of potential to deal with my gadget game drive for a while 🙂 P.S Home Assistant is free, there are clients also for iOS/Android PP.S.Eit and other models for other car manufacturers.

Collision alarm / Phantom braking
Hello, I’ve been talking about this car again for 1.5 years now I’ve been doing a S60T5 – current mileage: 15.000km. I’ve been having trouble getting rid of that car again and again. I’ve been getting rid of this car again and again. I’ve been getting rid of this car again and again. I’ve been getting rid of this car again. I’ve been getting rid of this car again. I’ve been getting rid of this car again for a few weeks. I’ve had a new construction site on the A1 in the range of 58239 swords and the right lane is “slogged” with truck. I’ve been able to speed up the car again with trouble. I’ve been driving the car again the next day prophylactically the assistance system collision avoidance and there was no event. I’ve been getting rid of a car again, what happened to be a car crash alarm with me.

Four years in the XC60 T8 – my conclusion
So, after almost four years with my XC60 T8 + Polestar my Volvo time ends for the first time, I switch to another brand and will shortly drive a BEV. Like the last time I would like to write down my impressions for the XC60 over the 4 years in unsorted order. Context: My XC60 is MJ20, mineral white, R-design with 21″, air suspension, nappa leather seats and other stuff, BLP was 95k. MJ20 was still without a 180 kmh limit, before I had an XC90 Inscription D5 MJ17 Unfortunately, Volvo does not have a suitable follow-up car on offer for me, plus unexplainable shifts in price/quality, which have moved a possible leasing rate too much in the wrong direction. I will shortly drive (somehow through pressure of the fleet management of my AG) a Skoda Enyaq Coupe RS, also in white again… My first BEV ever and my first VAG vehicle since 15 years P.S. I still have a 4xuga mat for a rubber compartment and a rubber compartment (some rubber compartment as well as well as well as a rubber compartment).

Rtti and internet connection
I haven’t had an internet connection for some time now, nor does the Rtti function work anymore. I checked all settings and found no error. If I remove the sim card, the message does not come “sim card”. Today I was at the dealer who started a new update. But had not succeeded either. Does anyone else have an idea? Or found the same problem and a solution.

Card update, what am I doing wrong?
Hello, there’s a card update for my V60. I downloaded the whole thing at home and pulled it onto a USB stick (ExFat). Supposedly this works with the update automatically when I start the Navi but… not with me :-)( I also find no option for manual installation. What am I doing wrong? Greeting and thank Tommy

Switch to a V60 T6 plugin hybrid with questions
Hello Volvo Forum! I’m about to switch from my Audi A6 to a Volvo V60 Plugin Hybrid T6. The 180 km/h limitation was the biggest problem for me at first, but think that the fun of the e-drive makes up for the limit again There are 2 annual cars to choose from, but also a relatively new model from this year. What deters me now are possible patronages of the V60. I.e. a speed limit is recognized, then the car automatically throttles down to this speed. Can this be or is there only one warning in such cases? What I have read is: There is an optical warning and in current models still an acoustic warning, which can be deactivated however. Ok? I’ve already driven the V60 test, but there are always new questions on the case of someone tips/comments for/against a change to the V60 has: I’m open for all thanks!

Replacement wheel instead of pump and glue
Hello, I would like to put a spare wheel in my car instead of pump and glue. But I don’t want a mini spare wheel. Here are some photos. Can you put a normal wheel in? Is this so easy or do I have to buy another styrofoam so I can set it up? Thank you.

Paint roof box
Hello, I didn’t know in which category I should open the topic. It’s about a roof box that I want to paint. It has a golden color. We don’t like it. I did an experiment, but that went into my pants. I had a primer and a paint spray. See appendix. The paint went off very easily. e.g. with my fingernail. Photo also in the attachment. With my garage neighbor we found that it was grinding. By hand was not enough. He was sanded and primed for testing with his device. Here the paint didn’t go off. Errors occurred when grinding. I ran off the black color with the grinding machine and wanted to start again. Have also read. That the color is only up to 50 degrees suitable. That is achieved quickly in the sun. I needed a professional advice. With what should I prime and paint? However, should not cost much. The color can be grey or black. High gloss or matt. The whole should be heat resistant and the color should not go off easily.

Volvo Sensus System from 2019
Hello Volvo driver, I didn’t regret having switched to Volvo a few years ago, but I corrected the error now. But I would still have a few questions though I have searched the web already, but did not find a real answer. So my Fzg. is a V60 T5 from 2019 I have two questions about the Sensus system. How does the WiFi own Volvo Hotspot function work? I connected my phone with it but it says it can’t be connected. How can I update the Navi card material – and how and where do I see which one is currently installed? I had already contacted a Volvo dealer, and he also confirmed that you can download this on the Volvo homepage car. There is no way to get there for the V60 2 series. And in the Fzg. is only that the file is too large and the button is grayed out anyway….except Baltic & Finland. Thank you for any help and answers – Greeting Tom
