Hi everyone,

I am new to OVMS and thinking about buying the hardware module to experiment with its features. My current EV (Honda e) is not yet supported. I have read that unsupported vehicles do still get some basic features like reading the SOH and/or SOC via OBD2. Is this true in my case?

I have a nice Home Assistant setup here which communicates with my heat pump, solar power system, etc. and would like to get the Honda’s State Of Charge from the OVMS module right into HA. Getting some other values would be nice, but SOC is the most important one. Is this currently feasible with my unsupported car? Anything I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!

I did read that, but since I am not a developer I could only provide some dumps at most. I just wanted to know if there is some baseline functionality which works with most yet unsupported vehicles. Or should I expect no functionality out of the box unless someone adds any specific support?
