I would like to be able

http://www.arachnon.de/wb/pages/en/nissan-leaf/ovms.php here.
When I use their version of the OVMS app it just crashes
repeatedly after I input my car's settings so I can't use
it. However when I use the play market version of the app,
there is no A/C button but it runs solidly and I can see my
car's information (it works). Is there a way to turn the A/C
on and off with this version of the app? Also, I'm assuming
(perhaps incorrectly) that the latest hardware already has
the features built in and no flashing is necessary.
You want to use the play store version. I'm running 3.12.4 from the
Play store and when connected to a Leaf, I see the AC button.
Bonus questions:
In the app it seems there's an ability to unlock my car and
to put it in valet mode but those features need a pin. Where
does this pin come from and do the features really work?
What is valet mode anyway?
Not all cars support lock and unlock or valet mode. We have some
code that works for lock/unlock on the Leaf but it's not yet
finished. There are no plans to support valet mode.
What is the 'Features'
section of the app for? I see that I need to set my #15 CAN
Write to 1 before I can expect the A/C control to work which
I've done but is there any info on what the rest of it does?
You don't need this for OVMS v3.
Server: 2.1.1-20121216
Car: 3.1.006
App: 3.12.4 (20180428
Update:
The remote A/C worked with homelink 1 and 2 when I got home
to charge. I don't have a model with navigation or car wings
so I don't think I have the option mentioned about when to
allow remote A/C with respect to SOC level. Is it possible
that there's a way to set this option with the OVMS?
We still support climate control with homelink 1 & 2 for old
apps. This at least lets use separate your climate control button
problem questions about how the AC works.
Which model year Leaf do you have? Older than 2013 may require extra
hardware to enable climate control when the car is asleep. 2013
through 2015 use a different remote climate control to that of 2016
& 2017. You have to set the module year configuration option to
tell the OVMS which car you have. 2018 Leafs are not yet supported.
We made a change to how the climate control is switched off recently
and this is probably in the latest firmware (which you don't have on
your OVMS). We don't have a way way to configure the remote climate
control -- the OVMS simply sends the enable command to the car and
the car does it's thing.
