There is an app to get data from your car via the OBD2 interface, the app is called Torque. There is a binding for Home Assistant for it, which seems quite easy. Unfortunately, I do not understand how it works and how to transfer is to an openHAB binding.
Can some explain to me what the HA binding does? I thought torque is sending some data via csv, but I cannot verify it.
I neither use HA nor Torque - just had a look to the description and the source code for HA plugin.
As far as I understand who that works together is:
- install the app
- configure the app to distribute data to HA ( that’s done via setting of an URL to upload data to HA )
- the Torque plugin for HA will provide this URL which accepts requests from the the app which reads out the data
- the HA binding provides the URL and stores the data in the HA internally
Thanks, that also what I understood.
Do you know a binding that does something similiar (so also interacts with another application or service by getting data via the API? So that I have something I can built on when I want to make a binding for OpenHAB?
I think most bindings do active download of data while this one passive receives data that is pushed to it.
Have a look to [webhook] New, very simple binding for listening incomming http requests this binding creates things as a web-hook.
As a step before I would use a webserver/apache setup to debug what really is being uploaded.
