BTW, what year is your F-150?
2013 Limited, Ford is the best selling truck in the U.S., sorta suprised you did not support it.
Is there a way to increase that? 10 sec is a long time compared to real time.
BTW, We do have a plethora of F-150s already running mojio’s with lots of success, including the 2013 year.
Accelerometer, Battery, Fuel Efficiency (depending on year), GPS/Location, Heading (depending on year), RPM, Speed, Service Bulletins, Recalls, Towing, Odometer (depending on year).
Since we are a cellular based device we have actually throttled back the frequency, and are trying to strike a balance between that and costs.
Keep in mind our business model is not really geared towards high-frequency data collection and aggregation from OBD devices. But it is fantastic for something like a geo-fence around your house where you want to trigger a scene…
I now have a mojio binding, let me know if anyone is interested.

That’s great news!
Perhaps the developer could use Java’s BigDecimal for any representation and computation of decimal numbers, to eliminate the false precision caused by standard IEEE floating point’s inability to exactly represent all numbers?
Also, if the binding were to offer an item in lat,lng[,alt] format (meaning altitude is an optional third value) and provide updates to Location items using PointTypes, you could track your car on a map in the classic (and other) UIs!
Then some day, you could send your car a PointType command to have it come pick you up.
Will let him know about the BigDecimal thing, but I am not sure I understand the PointTypes stuff. Do you have any examples?
Location MyTruckLoc { mojio="how to get a lat,long from the binding" }
The binding would take “how to get a lat,long from the binding” and post an update of new PointType("<actual_lat>,<actual_long>") if it’s bound to a LocationItem. If it’s instead bound to a String item, the binding would just post an update of new StringType("<actual_lat>,<actual_long>").
The point of the Location item is that the classic UI, and hopefully other and more UIs, will properly render an actual map with a pin to show where your truck is (as of openHAB 1.8 or recent builds, but your binding won’t become 1.8-specific by doing the above). That’s all you need to do.
Example from OH1.8 Classic UI (String item followed by a Location item):
Great, I will have him add that, also having him add a units flag in openhab.cfg because right now it returns things in metric and I live in backwards US.
Perhaps he could add an optional transform to the binding string, so you could append :JS(c_to_f.js) to what you currently supply, and write your own conversion in a simple line of JavaScript. Lots of other bindings do that sort of thing. More capability down the road by empowering users to transform values themselves.
Not that I’m aware of. It might make sense to add a new Map element to sitemaps:
Map [item=<itemname>]
where <itemname> could refer to a Location or a Group item. In the case of a Group item, all Location items in the group would be shown on the same map, with the <itemname>s’ labels. Just a thought. For now, I’m not aware of a non-very-complicated way.
My current setup just renders a Group of items and the Location item is in that group, so there is no specific sitemap entry.
The following items and rule would (in theory) give you the current distance between your truck and home in openHAB 1.8:
items:
Location TruckLoc { mojio="how you get lat,long from mojio" }
Number TruckDistFromHome
rule:
import org.openhab.core.library.types.*
rule DistanceFromHome
when
Item TruckLoc changed
then
var PointType home = new PointType("<homelat>,<homelong>")
var DecimalType dist = home.distanceFrom(TruckLoc.state)
// dist is meters; divide by 1609.34 for miles
TruckDistFromHome.postUpdate(dist)
end
Very cool! Your “F150 ignition” might want to be a Switch item, in cases where Mojio can remotely start the vehicle.
Is there a version that works in Europe? like a chinese copy of Mojio?
On their site I saw exclusive references to U.S-based mobile carriers. If the OBD2 gadget supports GSM and SIM cards from other carriers, you’d think it would work in Europe and elsewhere, too.
so did I, maybe @Rob_Chartier or @sipvoip can confirm this. If its just to take out the sim and replace it with another sim and then it works.
Where did you guys buy the hardware from?
I tried to go in here http://www.moj.io/ to find out where I could buy OBD that will work in europe(I can buy it from the US or China).
I would say, there is no chance to use an own api.
The moj.io stick is currently sold in Germany by a mobile operator “Deutsche Telekom”.

But it is not possible to use anything else, except the connected car app.
I got mine a few days ago, but canceled the order again, due to hidden costs and the closed source of theTelekom connected car platform.
