It is the car. This setting (ms_v_charge_timerstart) is paired with ms_v_charge_timermode to indicate the car is in timer mode (ie; will start charging at a specific time of day, rather than immediately on plug-in).

For car’s that don’t have charge timers, we could directly support them within OVMS. Not too hard to do (if ms_v_charge_timermode AND ms_v_charge_pilot AND ms_v_charge_timerstart is now, then start charge). But, we would need a command to be able to remotely set this timer mode.

Is it the car or the OVMS system that actually starts the charge?  Just wondering if we have a car dependency here.

p.s. to Geir...  It's kind of fitting that an email about time would arrive 11 minutes prior to its time stamp.  Is your PC's clock set right?

My notes have it as a Tesla Roadster message:

(gmthour*60)-1, with special case midnight gmthour=24

N.B. Empirical values for TimerLSB and TimerMSB (a GMT+0800 car in Hong Kong) are:
1439 (0x059F) for midnight GMT, 59 (0x003B) for 1am GMT, up to 1379 (0x0563) for 11pm GMT.

Kind of ugly, and never properly declared/used. It is sent back to the server/apps, but I don’t think it was ever used.

I’m happy for it to be the number of minutes after midnight (UTC) when timed charge should start.

Regards, Mark.

Hi, 

What is the format of ms_v_charge_timerstart? I can’t find any info about it anywhere...

Best regards,
Geir
