Nissan's official mobile app for their LEAF electric car doesn't have a widget for quickly checking the car's battery charge status on your phone's home screen, so for a fun side project I decided to make my own using free tools like GitHub Actions, Appium, Tailscale, and Apple Shortcuts.

If you're running Home Assistant and your LEAF is from before 2019, you may be able to replace the scraping part with the Nissan Leaf integration https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nissan_leaf/. Their iOS app also has support for custom widgets https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/integrations/ios-wi... which might suffice for what you're trying to achieve.

It's unfortunate that newer cars are not supported.

Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I do have a model year newer than 2018.
