<html><head></head><body>Hi Mark,<br><br>I have my own home automation running at home. I want to push the current values (SoC, odometer, ...) once my car is in the driveway and OVMS is booked into my WiFi. My home automation has a TCP server running were I process the data further. <br><br>I don't want to the OVMS Server functionality as I'm not a Linux guy, don't want the data in the internet and no SIM use on the OVMS. <br><br>So does the canlog_tcpclient.cpp take care of the concurrency etc. correctly? I will do the same in my code. Or should I start a separate task from the vehicle task for every push?<br><br>thx<br>Soko<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 23 August 2020 16:37:46 CEST, Mark Webb-Johnson <mark@webb-johnson.net> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
