Automatic OBD-II Indigo Plugin (discontinued)

That sounds like a great idea! You should be able to see the json responses in the device variables, right? Do you need me to expose them some other way?

I will double check my directions on the required Google API access. Very sorry about that!

Thanks for the great plugin! Glad we got this figured out.

I think it would be a lot easier to setup indigo triggers if the fuel level (or whatever we are interested in, maybe battery voltage too) is directly exposed as a device state (just like location, ETA, or currentMilesFromHome)...

I currently use the following script as an Server Action Execute Script for a trigger of Type Automatic OBD-II Event, Event: Approaching Home.

Code: Select all

car = indigo.devices["Automatic OBD Audi"]
indigo.server.speak("The car is almost home at " + car.states["location"])

One way you can create a trigger based on your fuel would be to create a Trigger on Device State Changed for your device. Choose the State: vehicle, Has Any Change. Then in Condition, you could script something like:

Code: Select all

import json
car = indigo.devices["Automatic OBD Honda"]
myVechicleJson = json.loads(car.states["vehicle"])
indigo.server.log(myVehicleJson["fuel_level_percent"])

# code to return true if fuel level is below 10%

Except, ugh, it looks like the Condition has to be Applescript and not Python??!?!?!?!! So, you'd have to do that in the Action instead of the Condition (or figure out the Applescript equivalent), and then code your action in Python. That kinda stinks.

I'll work on breaking out the useful Vehicle attributes into States.

v1.0.5 - Plugin has been updated to include fuelLevelPercent, batteryVoltage, and activeDtcs as States for the Device.

Sweet, this is perfect - thanks man!

By the way, I'm getting a fair amount of exception notices in my log - I assume this is just some intermittent bad data coming in from automatic, but any way to not show these messages?

Shouldn’t be any exceptions. I’ll look into it.

I'll turn on debugging so you get more info

Looks like its an issue with null data from the check engine light?

v1.0.7 released. Should fix the exception.

[dgarozzo]

The problem wasn't null data - it was getting back a JSON object instead of a string. I needed to convert the JSON back to a string before setting the state.

Automatic has now 2 versions Lite and Pro. I assume Lite version would suffice?

[dgarozzo]

I’m pretty sure you’re gonna want the Pro.

How much power does it consume.
Ie when I do not run the engine for 2 weeks will it drain the battery ... will the car still start?

I’ve never had a problem with it.
