[Ovmsdev] Roadster info missing?

Greg,

During drive, all temperatures should be updated. Perhaps if they had some diagnostic screen on, that could be suppressed, but I don’t know how. From what I have seen, they are continually transmitted on the CAN bus.

After the car is parked, the temperature subsystem goes to sleep and stops transmitting. This is the same as the normal vehicle sleep mechanism, where the coolant pump stops. OVMS will display that as the temperatures going gray on the Apps. If you tap the trunk of the car (in the App), you can wake it up and the temperatures will start updating again (until car goes back to sleep).

Regards, Mark.
