[Ovmsdev] Polling keeps car awake (VW e-Up at least)

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

As mentioned previously, another thing to check would be the 12v reading:

metric list v.b.12v.voltage

See if there is any difference in that between the car awake vs sleeping (probably safest to do this test with no car module loaded, so no polling at all).

Regards, Mark.
