Open tung256 opened 3 weeks ago

tung256 commented 3 weeks ago

i got v3.48 for my obd wican image Enable HA Discovery is greyed out. i cannot select Enable image

these are my settings image image

in HA, i dont see any new devices image

what i really want is to have WiCAN send me a notification if any door is opened as seen in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWluBx78IR4 would that ever be possible?

Hey @tung256 so v3.48 works really well with the new HA integration, MQTT discovery is not supported in this version. MQTT itself is still supported without the discovery. If you decide to use the new integration you should disable MQTT. And reduce the cycle time to 10000 (10 sec) you can change the cycle time later. The new integration detects the sensors automatically, and its using HTTP instead of MQTT.

If you decide to keep using MQTT you have to disable MQTT ELM327 logging and keep that disabled. And you should add the sensors manually.

So if I understand correctly you want to check the car door is opened? Do you know if your car broadcasts the car door state on the CAN bus, if so what is the CAN ID of the message.

@tung256 The integration will automatically find the sensors you don't need to enable the discovery.

The discovery is disabled in this firmware version.
