Hi,

Great! Figured it's time to introduce myself as initially suggested by Michael.

My name is Jaunius Kapkan.

I have 2013 leaf for over 3 years now with 107k km and ~70 SOH.

I am familiar with low level networking and dissecting packets on wireshark. But don’t have much experience with CAN communication. I work with Bash, Python, Javascript, HTML daily, but have no problems using other languages when needed.

My goal is to make some cool stuff for my Leaf and if possible make it compatable for use with other cars. All during my spare time.

Current Projects:

Local Climate Control Timer.
- Story:
  - Built-in Timer only works if connected to the charger and only has 2 timers available.
- Features:
  - Unlimited amount of timers (as long as RAM allows it)
  - Unrestricted CC operation time
  - Ability to set all timers in GUI by implementing it as plugin
- Status:
  - Backend module done. Now Testing & working onthe frontend.
Heating Assist
- Story:
  - My PTC Heater fried so I have bought a 2x 200W 12V PTCs for 30 EUR in total (meanwhile original replacement unit is 400-800 EUR) and put them in the old heater's place. I connected them trough relay, but did not want to control them manually. So I have wired the relay switch to ext12v power output of the OVMS.
- Features:
  - Each 5 seconds script checks if the heater is on and if so it will engage the ext12v power and vice-versa.
  - Still thinking if GUI is needed for this, very limited usage for others.
- Status:
  - Initial module done. Now beta testing.

Future Development:

One of the first things after these two is to make smart charge JS module/plugin to charge battery to specific % for specific departure time. The goal here is to have the battery sitting at high SOC the least possible amount of time.

Once I believe it's safe ENOUGH for others to use these plugins/modules I will make them open source.

Meanwhile you can follow me on twitter (boring..) https://twitter.com/mjkapkan

And also I just created a youtube channel where I will be posting videos of my experience with EV & Solar projects.

PS: My initial plan was to work on the iOS app, but it seems that one needs to have a MAC for that (and I don't). I am just a Linux Lover that happens to own an iPhone :).

Feel free to reach out!

Warmly,
Jaunius
