Hi all,
I'm in the process of integrating Tasker support in OVMS
for Android.
For those who don't know about Tasker:
"Tasker is an application for Android which performs tasks
(sets of actions) based on contexts (application,
time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined profiles
or in clickable or timer home screen widgets. "
Currently I use it to automate all kinds of things, like
turning on the lights of my house when my phone sees my access
point. But it can also be used to add additional intelligence
to our cars. For instance:
- User gets the possibility to charge by schedule. For
instance: When at a certain location, charge at 16A from
1:00 to 5:00. charge at 32A at other times.
- OVMS-triggered events: Upon charge done, have something
happen on the phone. For instance: play a song, send an
email, tweet or whatever. Also, in case you're driving and
OVMS reports a SOC below a certain value, start the app that
finds the nearest charger
- Open up variables (like temperature/SOC) for use in
Widget-tools like Zooper.
- Even more advanced ACC: Set the "charge done by" time
according to a given day/time/location.
- Log location/charge/speed/temperature data to phone/web
- Enable voice control of charging
- et cetera
My devskills aren't that advanced, so I hope there's someone
here I can team up with to get this thing going.
