Thanks for adding this functionality and also adding this guide. This solves the problem I was having and struggling to solve with custom code. Basically, to create a âpingâ event for a known PID value and start/stop trips based on the response.
Since adding the trigger to the PID, trip logging is way more reliable than trying to use voltage, or GPS movement to trigger it.
thanks for this, just what I needed. A quick question
The instructions state
Important: The PID must be named âRPMâ or else the rpm_motor_event trigger will skip checking the value.
In the community library I am using the PID is named RPMx. Is that a problem ? I cannot rename it.
Thanks
I actually have the same issue: the system doesnât allow to rename âRPMâ a library signal, thus the name of the logger cannot be RPM.
Is there a special way to rename it? Can we use rpm_engine_event instead, without renaming, even if weâre using an electric vehicle?
Update01: using a different name doesnât work, as mentioned above. Iâm waiting for somebodyâs feedback how to rename the signal to RPM.
Cheers
Hi @Chris_Neave and @therussian,
Weâve just pushed a hotfix for the Cloud, so it should be possible to rename them now in our local library.
Let me know if it works.

Hi Peter,
the cloud modification actually works now, Iâm able to rename the signal to RPM: I still need to check if the event logger is coherent with the movement of the vehicle.
Update01: it works like a charm, motor events are updated and work consistently.
Tomorrow Iâm testing trip trigger w/ motor event rather than power event (in that way I can separate driving sessions from charging sessions).
Peter, great many thanks - will test it in a couple of hours. Hope it âJust worksâ
Apologies for the delay, Ionic and I live in different cities.
It just worked - thanks
Is there any mechanism to edit the main post to add the clarification (edit the PID NAME) For future users ?
Hi Chris,
The original PID was created by another user, who âownsâ the right to change the PID. The best solution is to add your new PID to the community library also.

@Peter - thanks, I will do that once I get my head around that - Is there any review mechanism around adding PIDs ?
Hi @Chris_Neave,
At the moment there is no review mechanism, which is also why we recommend that you use the PIDâs in the library only after testing them.

Does anyone have an idea on why I might not be seeing vehicle/communication/disconnected events anymore?
I verified that the logger still has âcommunication_eventâ as the trigger, and that the command itself returns âERROR: No data received from vehicle within timeoutâ when the car is off.
Iâm still getting âvehicle/communication/establishedâ as expected but it doesnât seem to be logging a disconnected event when the logger is no longer active. Just be sure I removed the trigger from one logger and set it up on another, rebooted and re-synced, but still seems the same. It seems to have started around 2/8.
Edit: Issue above seems to have been resolved by reloading AutoPi core and re-syncing.
Hey everyone,
thanks for the nice guide. It worked very well for my Ioniq EV but now that I want to use it with my e-Niro as well, I canât. System says I canât have 2 âRPMâ PIDs but if I delete the one that I made and am currently sharing with the public, that would get changed or deleted. Is there a workaround for this?
PIDs are not the same, if that helps?
