# Volvo2Mqtt
This component establishes a connection between the newer AAOS Volvo cars and Home Assistant via MQTT.
Maybe this component works also with other Volvo cars. Please try out the native Volvo [integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/volvooncall/) before using this component! If the native component doesn't work for your car, try this mqtt bridge.
## Confirmed working with
- Volvo XC40 BEV (2023)
Please let me know if your car works with this addon so I can expand the list!
