I started this thought following up on my Ioniq 5 thread -
but figured it might be worth a new conversation.
Michael B talked about having some new standard metrics
(and also some consistent metric names in my i5 code: patch
coming now that I understand a bit better why those exist).
The Door Locked series is obviously a good start - the
candidate names being pretty straight forward imho.
Most cars these days would have seatbelt sensors - so
they might also be a candidate. v.sb.fl etc.
That being said, I have some issues related to
'right-hand-drive' vehicles which are quite popular in
Australia ;). For a start, there's no metric for it;
obviously some cars implementations will have a setting.
For the Hyundai this is important as it seems many
left/right settings are actually based on drive/passenger
side in the OBD bits.
Sooo.. I was considering some of the issues:
1) When it's on a diagram or in a user message, we want
left/right because that's how we want to deal with it.
2) In general scared scripts, we probably care more about
whether it is drive/passenger side rather than left/right!
Could we have some metric alias's for left/right metrics
that would be drive/passenger that would allow
* Setting via either metric
* Reading via either metric
* Adding events based on either metric.
For eg
v.d.l.fl links to
* v.d.l.fd (front driver) for Left-hand drive and
* v.d.l.fp (front passenter) for Right-hand drive cars.
I mean we could set both metrics.. but would that work?
Thoughts on this?
