September 29, 2021

Support starting immediate charge when vehicle is waiting for timer start.

User reviews

Great idea. Not so much the implementation

Got the hardware. Plugged in. Working. Connected to the server. I can use command line control but that is cumbersome and I am not e pert enough to get full functionality. The app is a great idea and provides an interface for that. Except it doesn’t work. Shame.

Must have for LEAF owners!

If you’re frustrated with CARWINGS/NissanConnect EV, OVMS is for you! Especially if you have a 2015 or older with 2G TCU that probably doesn’t work anymore. Just buy the OVMS box, set it up and connect it to your OBDII port. Has LTE & Wi-Fi support, so it will work for many years to come!

Get your exact battery percentage instantly with realistic range based on your previous driving. Start your climate control in seconds. Even works on S model with no navigation or telematics system. See the exact location of your vehicle when it’s parked or driving. Monthly cost of service including data for included SIM is just a loonie or toonie per month.

Issue with 2013 Nissan Leaf more recent update

AC ON / OFF button doesn’t show up in the app anymore. Have to use Homelink option 1 to turn ON and 2 to turn OFF.

TPMS tire pressure details are not shown anymore.

Lock and Unlock also doesn’t work!

It works, kinda…

I got my OVMS around November and installed it in my 2016 LEAF. It works well, and I went so far as to self host the server software. The android app works MUCH better than this iOS app. Not sure what’s going on, but I only have about 1/3 the capability in iOS than on android. I bought a fire tablet just so I could have a “start the heater” button.

In iOS I'm only getting a way to start and stop charging, battery status, map location, lock and unlock, and valet mode.

Also a command line where I can take the time to type “climatecontrol on” and pray it works.

Really hope the iOS version gets an update to bring feature parody to android.

Nissan Leaf Upgrade!

I’m very happy with my purchase and will gladly support the OVMS project. I just finished setting up the module in my vehicle with GSM and it works like a charm.

REMEMBER LEAF USERS: If you want Remote Climate + Lock/Unlock set Vehicle > Features > Can Write to :1 from :0 in the app to enable this feature after unplugging your 2G TCU. This will get you back on track to be able to get your car nice and toasty with a simple command.

Coming from iOS development I will be glad to support the project with whatever skills I possess to help users take advantage of this software!
