    If you want to compare a state code encoded as a string, you can
    simply compare the std::string returned by AsString() with hard
    coded strings, e.g.<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    <tt>    std::string charge_state =
      StdMetrics.ms_v_charge_state->AsString();</tt><tt><br clear="none">
    </tt><tt>    if (charge_state == "charging")</tt><tt><br clear="none">
    </tt><tt>        …</tt><tt><br clear="none">
    </tt><br clear="none">
    If you'd rather use the old numeric state codes, there are utility
    functions in the ovms_utils module for encoding / decoding them.<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    As Mark wrote, you get the float value by the AsFloat() method and
    can compare that directly to a float literal. We haven't added
    comparison operators to the metrics classes yet, just assignment
    (and that needs casts in many cases). If you'd like to add more
    operators/types, go ahead.<br clear="none">

    And if you want to customize standard notifications, you can do so

    If you want to add vehicle specific notifications, take a look at
    the Twizy module (rt_notify).<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    You can simply send a notification from any command output by
    issuing MyNotify.NotifyCommand() (att: stack intensive) or send any
    string by MyNotify.NotifyString(). There are also varargs versions
    with "f" suffix acting like printf.<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    For building strings from command methods, there is the StringWriter
    class, that's a std::string that can be used as an OvmsWriter.
    Example:<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    <tt>    StringWriter buf(200);</tt><tt><br clear="none">
    </tt><tt>    CommandStat(COMMAND_RESULT_NORMAL, &buf);</tt><tt><br clear="none">
    </tt><tt>    MyNotify.NotifyString("info", "charge.sufficient",
      buf.c_str());</tt><br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    Best practice is to send notifications from within an event handler
    (e.g. Ticker1), so they run asynchronously in the event task context
    instead of blocking something.<br clear="none">
