Yes I would like the batterystatusupdated timestamp. I think its usefull.
Another idea is to have a channel (for a switch for example) to make a poll to the MyRenault App from inside an openhab-rule. to promptly update the informations.
In my Usecase:
Now that we have 2 cars and only one wallbox, I’d like to know which of the car is plugged to the charger.
With the automated polling I will receive this information after at least 5 minutes (in my case), that could be to long.
I have a workaround for this, but its also a little complicated.
I disable the car Thing with an HttpPutRequest - wait for 1 second - and enable the car thing again with the HttpPutRequest.
So a Channel to poll the car and update the informations will be very usefull.
If my wallbox recognize a plugged car, I can poll the cars and receive the information which is plugged within a few seconds and dont have to wait until the next automatic poll is done.
Now to the locate function. Yes, you are right, thats a way and I receive the GPS data and are able to locate my car on a map.
But this “new” functionality is not to locate the car on a map. If this functionality is used, you can turn on the cars horn or light.
- I think it’s there to find the car in a crowded parking spot.
If you need any help for testing, let me know.
