[Ovmsdev] indirect TPMS in app

[Michael Balzer]

Sharkcow,

as we don't have a new capabilities message scheme yet, conditional 
blocks are the way it works right now in the App.

The meanings of standard metrics and message data fields should not be 
changed. Introducing custom metrics and a custom MP record is a possible 
solution.

But having custom solutions for common things like this is a PITA. Maybe 
we can work something out to convert the readings into the standard metrics?

For example: if you get a "health percentage", we could introduce a 
configuration for the "100%" health pressure level, so we can get an 
absolute value from that.

Regards,
Michael
