Open Vehicle Monitoring System
Support for all vehicles via ODB2 adapter in the vehicle. More info at api.openvehicles.com.
Parameters
| Name | Description | Value | Level |
|---|---|---|---|
user | Username e.g. email address, user id, etc. | optional | |
password | Password Service account password | optional | |
vehicleid | Vehicle ID | optional | |
server | Server URL | optional | |
title | Title Will be displayed in the user interface | optional | |
capacity [kWh] | Battery capacity | optional | |
icon | Icon Will be displayed in the user interface | advanced | |
phases | Maximum number of phases Used to determine the minimum solar surplus and plan duration. | advanced | |
mode | Default charging mode Applied when a vehicle is connected. Leave empty to keep the current mode. | advanced | |
minCurrent [A] | Minimum current The minimum current per connected phase that can be used | advanced | |
maxCurrent [A] | Maximum current The maximum current per connected phase that can be used | advanced | |
maxPower [W] | Maximum charging power hint Defines the maximum charging power of the vehicle. Helps improve charge plan accuracy when the vehicle typically uses less than the offered current or supports higher single-phase current compared to three-phase. The offered current of the loadpoint is not affected. | advanced | |
identifiers | RFID identification Used to assign the vehicle to a loadpoint via RFID card. The identifier is shown on the loadpoint. Copy the value from there. Learn more. | advanced | |
priority | Priority Priority of the loadpoint or vehicle in relation to other loadpoints or vehicles for allocating surplus energy (higher values, higher priority). | advanced | |
climaterdisabled | Disable climater detection Ignore the vehicle's climater state for charge control, so charging stops at the SoC or energy limit even when the vehicle signals an active climater request. | advanced | |
cache | Cache Time interval for data refresh | advanced |
