There is ms_v_env_temp for the ambient temperature, but that's normally meant for the outside temperature I think.

You can add a metric for that, i.e. ms_v_env_cabintemp / "v.e.cabintemp".

"awake" = Vehicle/bus awake (switched on)

"on" = "Ignition" state (drivable)

Normal process is using Github pull requests. You push your commits to you repository, then create a pull request. We check your changes and merge them into the
master.

You should coordinate your work with Tom Parker ("carrott"), the main developer of the Nissan Leaf adaption. To do so you can also add his repository and send
pull requests to him (and vice versa).

See Github docs for details, it's simple.

Regards,
Michael
