Did the cloud API behavior change with respect to trying to retrieve the latest vehicle speed or RPM (i.e. with aggregation=None)?
Specifically for cases when the vehicle is not currently moving\engine is turned off - i.e. I want the latest reported value.

I am querying the following URL to get the latest speed
https://api.autopi.io/logbook/storage/read/?device_id=<DEVICEID>&field=obd.speed.value&field_type=float&aggregation=none&from_utc=2020-01-01T00:00:00Z&size=1

This used to work prior to the update but now returns status=400
I haven’t tried to see what happens when the engine is actually running yet.
Is there a way I can change the above query to return the last logged value?

The behavior is the same in the Dashboard if I create a widget for speed and set Aggregation to None. It says “An error occurred while retrieving data” whereas in the past I think it just showed 0 or the last value.

Thanks!

Does the AutoPi team have a proposed features timeline going forward? I am specifically interested in the Raspberry Pi 4 support.

Also is there an ETA on when the prebuilt images for flashing will be placed on GitHub? I know it generally takes a few weeks.

We have just deployed a small fix to my.autopi.io to fix some issues with the events page datepicker.

@alexanv We are looking into this, thank you for letting us know.

@Zaf9670 Yes, RPI4 support is planned, I can’t say when it will be finished, but I can say that we do have a prototype up and running that we are currently testing :slight_smile:
