EV car power management

[PIFOUKIA]

Thanks @Manfred for your github package

But I have a problem, I think that none of my cron are running, (exact configuration of your picture) and I added a cron for telegram alert for charging Receive charging alerts on your phone ( and smart watch ) but no telegram message (but i correctly tested my token and ID with a text command from a web brother) !

Is there a special action to activate cron system on autopi ? Because none of the event you created appears in the event log

Thanks

Hi,

There is nothing special on cron jobs.
does anything work on my.autopi.io (Dashboard, Loggers) ?
Try reboot the dongle.

[PIFOUKIA]

The rpi temp is working but none of my jobs. I will try to physically disconect the autopi to check if it is better

But it’s a pain because I fixed it on the insolator of the under dash. Then I have to remove it

@Manfred, I see that your cron_autostart is : “on the first day of every months at 01h00” but does it mean that I have to wait march 1st 01h00 for my job to start ? It could explain why it is not actually working ?

My rpi temperature is working but with " * * * * * " which means “every minutes all the time”.

[Manfred]

You don´t need the autostart cronjob. The funtion my_autostart.autostart is only needed ONE time for creating the shelve variables. Call it manually is also OK. The monthly thing I checked only, because there is no cron-only-on-startup-option.
Maybe you need a reboot to activate your new cron jobs -> ask the autopi guys…

I found the problem ==> When I opened your .py files with notepad and copy/paste on the custom code, a problem appears because in all your file there is at each line a 4 blank character indent and it creates an error. I suppressed manually on each line on autostart.py and now one script is working (I have a postpone 30 min which appears every minutes)

Could you upload script without this indent ? because I suppressed it on the 3 files but I still have no event in the events log then may be I didn’t correctly modify the indent…

$ my_autostart.test

‘my_autostart’ virtual returned False: unexpected indent (my_autostart.py,line 2)$ my_autostart.test

Hello everyone.
For this code to work it is necessary to create the file ManfredsPowerEvent.slv right?
Where and how can I create it?
Any help?

Thanks everyone.

[Manfred]

Hi Joaquim,

it is done by the autostart cronjob. The funtion my_autostart.autostart is only needed ONE time for creating the shelve variables. Call it manually is also OK.

[Joaquim_Lopes]

Ok. But cronjob is every run on start? It initialize every time that autopi recovery off sleep?

[Manfred]

That´s fine, read the code comments…

[Joaquim_Lopes]

Ok. Thanks.
Can you explain the webpage? How can i view the data? Cant understand.

Thanks

[Manfred]

I think you mean this:

Charge status and location on personal website

Hi all, I wanted to get a quick possibility to see the charge status of my Hyundai Kona 2019. Now i have a weblink on my mobile phone showing this: [screenshot_mobile] I can see the status on my personal (hidden) website, without any password and stuff. Very simple view, optimized for mobile phone. It is updated every half hour by dongle. A personal website with php-support is required for this! code can be found here:

Every line of the code have a extra TAB in the begiun of the line. Just try to correct by may be do some thing wrong. This code dont work for me. Every time give me timeout.

.

The “my_powervent” is working.

Can you may be give me a help?

Thanks.

[Manfred]

Hi,

as you are the 2nd guy with problems, I updated the python files on my github (no leading tabs).

try the sub-programs instead of main “poll” program like this:
my_eventgen.get_bms $timeout=60

good luck
Manfred

[Joaquim_Lopes]

Hello.

After cheking every sub program indidualy with seams that is working. I will try and give feedback.

Thanks.

[Joaquim_Lopes]

Hello.
Just try and its working. After run individually every sub program, after that the code run ok.
Can anyone help me how can i integrate in a web page for visualization?

Thanks.

Hi Manfred.
Do you have the option that recharge the 12v battery when the kona is off enabled?? I think that the slow_charging event is keeping my autopi awake using your power settings

Thanks.
Octavio.

[Manfred]

Hi Octavio,

please see the my power settings at github:

Manfred2801/autopi

And yes, I have the “Aux-Battery-Saver+” enabled (it is imortant!). See this post:

12v battery dead for second time

I never had issues with that, but I was afraid of having it. The last 2 weeks my car (Hyundai Kona 2019) was parked at the airport and never used. It woke up exactly every 24 hours for exactly 20 min to charge the aux battery. I have enabled the “Aux-Battery-Saver+” in the settings of the Hyundai (read the manual). The results are OK, but it seems that 20min charging is not enough. The Aux_Bat_SOC increased about 4% during charge, but lost more during rest of 24h. So I got from 92% to 61% in …

[tavius]

Yes. I have the power setting as you said in github. But the pi is awake. And in the event log I see de battery/discharging and battery/charging_slow events…

[Manfred]

my powersettings only work when using scripts my_powerevent and cronjob.
I also get the “charging_slow” events, doesn´t matter.

good luck
Manfred
