The new GreenCharge App has an interesting feature where they use the badge icon as an indication of %SOC. The example picture below represents a 75% SOC.
It is an interesting approach, that I'm not sure if we should adopt. Hence, discussion:
1. I personally don't like badge icons. They scream 'attend to me! clean me up!' and my OCD kicks in ;-) I like to keep inbox=0. There would be no way to 'clear' such a badge icon.
2. I'm not sure if this violates Apple's user interface guidelines and/or would be enough to get rejected from the App store. More research would be needed on this.
3. Implementation wise, it is trivial. At the server level, if SOC != lastSOC then send a PUSH notification with a new badge number = SOC%. This would only work for non-paranoid mode cars. If we wanted this to work with paranoid-mode cars, we would need to do it at the car module level with a new message type (unencrypted SOC).
4. Easy to make it opt in/out - just enable/disable badge icons in the iPhone preferences (Settings/Notifications/OpenVehicles).
Thoughts?
Only set the badge if SOC goes <10%? We already have the SoC warning, but you could make two? - High threshold: 10% - Low threshold: 5% If you go below 10% you get the SoC at the badge, if it goes below 5% all alarm bells go off. Wido
Mark.
