I have a 2016 Leaf in New Zealand and I'm trying to get OVMS v3 climate control working. SOC works great, thanks for your work on this! I see SOH in the metrics but its always 0, not sure if I'm reading the wrong place. Climate control (homelink 1) works sometimes but is unreliable. If I...

On a related note, is there any way to get battery SOH from OVMS? Or send ODB2 codes and read the results?

I use HomeAssistant to drive HomeKit, and so anything on HomeAssitant can be made visible to Homekit. I use MQTT to expose OVMS values to HA thus HK, and so Siri gives me the car charge level now, and soon climate control, once I figure out how to unplug the TCU (can see it but can't get the...

Hi, I have LeafSpy pro working, with both dropbox and the server REST option enabled. When the app is running, my server (PHP page) is getting the info in the url and I can see the SOC and SOH etc. Great stuff. Unfortunately, when the app is running in the background on my phone, it stops...

I'm trying to read the SOC from the car while its parked and unused as part of my home automation project. I'd appreciate any help I could get at this point. I have a Raspberry Pi (the carport security camera) talking to the ODB2 port via bluetooth, using the same adapter that works fine for...

I'm pretty stoked about the software update, my 2016 30X Leaf has lost a bar and I'm looking at some pretty depressing LeafSpy stats, such as 82% SOH with only 13K miles. Please keep those updates rolling in :)

Reading those scans from Nissan, it seems clear this won't affect range, just the display on the dash and SOH readings in LeafSpy. If you have reduced range this won't help :(

I really like what you did to the headlights, how did it change the look? Can you post a picture of the whole car from the front and side if you get a chance? That is if you still have the car :)

What did you learn?

Gas cars are cheaper if gas is free. Otherwise, you have to crunch the numbers on 'cheaper'. For me, with the gas I'd use, its cheaper to have an EV and change the battery every few years. You'll have to run your own numbers based on your mileage and economy, but for many EV owners, EV is...
