Before I decide how to do this I would like to explore the other way: My home automation is polling the data from OVMS.
I have had a look to the HTTP API. But it seems this is an API for the server on the internet and not for OVMS itself, correct?
Next option: My home automation does a simple HTTP-GET to OVMS and reads data like this. Is there a way to read metrics like this? I have found the config->webserver site. I could point it to an own dir like /store/data. Now I could write/update one file there from my vehicle-module called "current" with all the data I need. Then simply to a http-get to 192.168.4.1/current and I get the data of the file. Is it easy - and most important: allowed - to write/update into a file in OVMS.
I think I see another way for you to do this. Your original ask was: On 2020-08-23 09:00, Soko wrote:
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.
This might help, here's what I'm doing. I setup a mqtt server on a public server (I found mosquitto easy to setup and use). I configured my modules to talk to it using the V3 server settings. At this point my vehicle metrics are available via the mqtt server. Next I wrote a persistent daemon using the python paho-mqtt module. It subscribes to some vehicle metrics and posts nagios passive results. I've attached a screen grab of the current state of one of my cars. Craig
