[Ovmsdev] Tom's Hologram instructions

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Tom,

I’ve been working with a new OVMS user (roadster) provisioning for the first time with Hologram. These are the instructions for first-time setup:

Plugin the OVMS module to your car, and make sure the LEDs are illuminated. Wait a minute or so, for it to startup. If you are in an area of good cellular coverage, you should see two green blinks as confirmation the GSM network is connected. Using the Hologram console, send an SMS message as follows:

AP OVMS - OVMS M IP api.openvehicles.com hologram - - <vehicleid> <serverpass> - - - - <vehicletype>

(replacing <vehicleid>, <serverpass>, and <vehicletype>, appropriately). Please triple check these settings before you send them; ensure they correctly match the vehicle you setup under your account on the openvehicles.com <http://openvehicles.com/> server)

For Hologram users, that is a free message, and you won’t get any confirmation.

Within a few seconds, you should see the module go through it’s reset LED sequence, and end up with one green blink as confirmation that your car is connected to the openvehicles.com <http://openvehicles.com/> server correctly.

Can you update those (or something similar) on your page. We can then widely publish this as the go-to guide for Hologram on OVMS.

Thanks, Mark.
