Problems with CLI after install about weconnect-cli HOT 18 CLOSED

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python --version
Python 2.7.16

Looks like I need to change the default version of Python?

from weconnect-cli.

Sorted, I needed:

sudo pip3 install weconnect-cli

from weconnect-cli.

what does python --version say?

from weconnect-cli.

exactly! You installed for python3 and your default version is python2

from weconnect-cli.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python --version
Python 3.7.3
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ weconnect-cli
bash: weconnect-cli: command not found

from weconnect-cli.

Hmmm, do you have maybe even more versions installed?

You could try: python -m pip install weconnect-cli

from weconnect-cli.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python -m pip install weconnect-cli

This is a default RPi installation so there are several versions of Python

from weconnect-cli.

hmmm, this is confusing me. I have to think what else could be going wrong here, sorry!

from weconnect-cli.

You could also try python -m weconnect_cli for now

from weconnect-cli.

sometimes you just need root rights ;)

Thanks for your help

from weconnect-cli.

Yes, the permissions must be more restricted:
chmod og-rw .netrc
you don't want anyone else than yourself to be able to read the passwords

If you just want to read data from the car you just have to subscribe to that topic. You get the data published every time it changes. If you want to know which topics are available you can subscribe to weconnect/0/mqtt/topics or add the --list-topics parameter when starting.
You only have to publish something to a topic when you want to change a setting or control e.g. the climatization.

Usually your broker will store the value and send it to you on subscribe.

What you can also do is add Parameter --republish-on-update but that causes all values to be sent after each update. So in my opinion it is the less preferred way.
