Receive reminders to plug in and charge your Tesla.
I have terrible memory and have forgotten to plug in my car to charge over night several times. Usually it's not a big deal at all (first-world problems), but it's still a minor annoyance. So I decided to create a Windows service, and then a mobile app to remind me to plug in to charge.
Basically the app takes the following steps:
- Check if it's time to charge (configured between monitoring start and end times)
- Check if vehicle is at the designated charging location (configured within settings screen)
- Check if vehicle is currently disconnected from charger
- Push notification to device to remind user to plug in (based on configured frequency)
I found this site very handy for generating C# models based on JSON results, and recommend its use whenever JSON structure changes - http://json2csharp.com/
If you're interested in helping test the app or contributing to its development, please inquire via [email protected].
