Isn't 2.9 bar a bit much? IIRC the recommended pressure is 2.55 bar (37 psi) all round, 2.8 bar (41 psi) at the rear when loaded. I know you don't have the best weather in the UK but I hope you don't have to drive on winter tyres in August. :P (as winter tyres usually need a bit more pressure)

Thanks, wattmatters. Mine seems to be working for the last few trips now too. In the beginning it drifted a bit and lost a few km (~6% at the moment). I'll keep an eye on it. There isn't much configuration that could be wrong.

I case it helps anyone else, I'd like to share an automation that I'm quite happy with. It uses the MG and Ohme integrations. Background: 1. My parking space, and thus my Ohme Home Pro charger, are in a communal garage. I have therefore configured the charger to require approval when plugged...

@wattmatters, I saw "Monthly km" on your dashboard. Have you implemented this using a utility meter helper? I have done this on my end and found that it always loses a few kilometres compared to the odometer. Have you noticed the same?

David1978, I'm pretty sure there's some confusion here between the following two concepts. Firstly, what you're looking at is the charge limit slider. The lowest the charge can be limited to is (and has always been, AFAIK) 40%. Secondly, it is recommended to keep the battery between 20-80%. Now...

Thank you @wattmatters! I will try to set this up in the next few days. I have tried to set it up via an SQL sensor that queries the historical values, but I still need to familiarise myself with "value templates" and such. I like your approach better :)

Thanks for the feedback nanomad. Up and running now! I really like how the plugin checks for car starts with the SAIC server to adjust the polling rates. Great job! Maybe it could be a potential hack to remotely run the AC every few days to charge the 12V battery. Not sure if charging only...

Thanks, @wattmatters and @gredie, that's a weight off my mind! It might not even be the HV relays I'm hearing, so more potential cycles. But if the plugin has a way to minimize it when idle, that sounds fantastic. I'll give it a try then! (First Home Assistant steps here.)

Hi from Spain. I've just joined and I'm really pleased to see that we have such an active MG4 community. I'm really interested in this home assistant plug-in, but I'm a little concerned about my car's high-voltage relays. I can hear them switching each time I refresh the app, so I'm wondering...
