I'm a new owner of a 2013 Leaf SV. I've only had it for 10 days and love it so far. Last night around midnight before going to bed, the remote climate control was running and I did not request to have it started. I did not have the climate control timer enabled either. I park indoors so I really don't have a need for the timer and I have never enabled it from day 1. I do use the iPhone LEAF application a lot, primarily to check the SoC. I have had used the remote climate control about 3 times to warm up my car a few minutes before riding when I'm parked outdoors (away from home).
Coincidentally I had sent a request last night around 9:25pm before heading home and it did work, i.e. heating was on when I arrived to my car. Upon arriving home I put the car to charge. Around midnight before going to bed I checked the SoC through the iPhone app and even though I rarely check the 'climate' tab, I noticed it showed the option to "turn the climate control off" instead of "off". That concerned me, I was wondering if the app status was not up to date, but just to be sure I walked down to the garage and sure enough the climate was on. I unplugged the charger since it was already around 90% charged and that turned off the climate control. I had no idea how long it had been on. My suspicion is that I had mistakenly clicked on the option to turn climate control on instead of requesting an update and hoping it had only been on for a few minutes.
This morning after checking the climate control history (see below), it shows that it was turned off at 12:10am which is around the time I walked downstairs, but it shows that it was turned on at 10:09PM, which is what puzzles me. I'm pretty sure I did not mistakenly sent a request around that time. That was about 5-10 minutes after I arrived home and started charging. It almost seems as if it had resumed/queued up my earlier request to turn on the climate control on, although when I started charging I would have heard the climate turned on.
Has anyone have had a similar experience? If this doesn't reoccur I would blame this in user error (me), although it's possible there's a bug in the app. I'm using the latest version available (v2.2.2)
(1) Request I sent through iPhone app
(2) I'm assuming this is when I started the car before heading home
(3) This is the mysterious request to turn it on:
(4) This is when I walked down to the garage, the climate control was definitely on, even though it was slightly over the 2hr window after it was presumably turned on
