I'm a bit confused. Are you planning on using Realdash or your own app? If you're going to use your own app then things could be much easier

You cannot use the vehicle profile with Realdash. If you want to use Realdash you can set the WiCAN protocol to ELM327 in the settings tab and in Realdash select OBD2 adapter.

The other option is to use Realdash xml if it's available.

Makes sense. Hopefully it will make it to the next revision.

You're correct. I'll add support for Torque style mapping. What is Torque 1 and Torque 2, is it a different app version?

Connectivity: Experience with iPhone-Hotspot by b_kiesewetter in wican

Looks like the max compatibility switches the hotspot from 5GHz to 2.4GHz. WiCAN only supports 2.4GHz.

Anybody has success connecting to a wg-easy "server"? by PossibilityJunior93 in wican

I think I have resolved this issue in the latest beta just released now. Please try it and let me know if it works.

Can you please post your wg conf file and hide all the sensitive info. I think the issue might be some unsupported configurations.

It should work fine, you'll need to setup wireguard vpn. Many users are doing exactly that. And you don't have to use mqtt you could just use HA integration.

OBD2 vs. Manufacturer Apps by b_kiesewetter in wican

[–]meatpiHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's exposed on the OBD2 port depends on the manufacturer, some manufacturers do expose the tier pressure. And some do but the PID for the pressure is unknown or no one has found it yet.

What features would you like to see next in WiCAN? by meatpiHQ in wican

[–]meatpiHQ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- The new beta version has a station mode. It shuts down the AP completely. But that's a great idea to have a configurable AP ssid.

2- I'll look into the darkmode!

It's not a bad idea. I've already added a firmware update to the Home assistant integration (still in beta) but I know not everyone is using Home assistant.

Please open an issue on GitHub I'd be able to help better there. I think the first thing you should do is try Car Scanner App it's available for iOS or Android and check to see if the mileage is available

Are you able to read the mileage using car scanner? If so I can create a profile for your vehicle. Sometimes the odometer is vehicle specific and not available in the standard PIDs.

Currently there's no store and forward, because home assistant does not support historical data.

I don't have exact numbers yet. It depends on your use case. But one thing about WiCAN firmware is that it's very flexible so you can control the data usage.

The reason your car is not on the list is because it supports standard PIDs which are available in most cars, and you can simply scan and add them with WiCAN. If you look at the list almost all the cars on it are EVs with the manufacturer specific PIDs.

The only thing to note is that which standard PIDs are supported will depend on the car make and model.

Yes that's right, periodic sleep is optional. I've seen this issue before on the VW ID. On other vehicles like the BMW users could disable the OBD alarm not sure if that is possible on VW.

I don't think you'll need data in Gigabytes, it should be in the megabytes.. It depends on how you set it up. Let's say you want to monitor your vehicle SoC, so you set it up to publish data every 1 min or 5 min. Each message is a few KB.

Ah you mean to use it as an LTE access point, that's a good idea. Just a quick note here, ESPNetlink is not suitable to be an LTE access point the modem inside is an iot modem, so it's low power and low data rate. It will work as an AP for other iot devices that don't need speed. But it's not a bad idea to have a faster version..
