The Open Vehicle Monitoring System - allows a user to connect to the CAN bus in a vehicle so that the user can view and monitor several parameters of vehicle operation, such as state of battery charge for an electric vehicle. The system includes hardware (a board that connects to the vehicle), a server, and mobile device software. Early work on this system was done by enthusiasts of the Tesla Roadster ; the system is also being adapted for use with the Nissan LEAF, Chevrolet Volt / Opel Ampera, Renault Twizy, Think City, Tazzari Zero, Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Kyburz and has a Generic OBDII module. OVMS has similarities to Nissan's proprietary CarWings system.
I have a Rolec homesmart charger that has been dropping offline while charging overnight (meaning it doesn't stop at the end of the cheap rate).
I also have an OVMS unit installed in the car, could the 2 be anyway related? I haven't tried unplugging the unit for multiple charges yet (I will do...
Hi.
Since a recent firmware update on OVMS my device has not been reading the data from the car and the screen on the app seems to freeze.
I have tried several factory resets and the unit works for a few minutes and displays the correct mileage and the battery state of charge. After a short...
Based on personal experience, the above recently started keeping the car alive, charging the 12V and in the case of the latest edge build, the 12V reading was 5.4kV!
Returning to the main branch resulted in correct idle and shutdown of the car's systems.
A few days ago I installed the OVMS module in my ZS EV. But every day the module shut down and is unavailable. After unplugging and reconnecting the ODBII connector it start working again.
I assume when the 12 volt battery voltage is too low, it happens.
Does someone have the same expierence...
greetings from the Netherlands,
Considering getting OVMS. I've just watched the march 29th podcast about OVMS for the ZS EV where there was a mention of new features on the verge of being released and was wondering if there's been progress made? I've checked MG EV — Open Vehicles documentation...
I've just installed OVMS module to remote monitor my MG ZS. Trying to work out how to override zombie mode which is talked about in the user documentation to get round the problem of the App not updating when the car is plugged in and locked prior to starting charge.
Can anyone help?
I've just installed OVMS module to remote monitor my MG, anyone else have experience of it? Trying to work out how to override zombie mode which is talked about in the user documentation.
Just watched the podcast from last night, thanks guys that's brilliant ?
Quick question, is there a how to video or photos showing the set up installed, location of GPS etc?
I've searched but cannot see any, apologies if I've missed them.
There are various different firmware versions that OVMS can use. This firmware is the software the OVMS device will run when it boots up.
The "factory image" is the first firmware that your OVMS has installed when it was built. It is likely to be very out of date but is known to be stable. If...
New ZS EV due anyway... (In red)
Has anybody had ovms fitted OR easy fit self (not the most technical person out there)
Is it worth getting?
Does it auto update if anything new added to app?
Thanks for help in advance.

Hello everyone, thanks for all the interest and engagement with reverse engineering and OVMS so far.
To get to the next stage (remote pre-heat and pre-cool) we really need some data from a Thai/Indian...
Hi All,
Not sure if you have seen this elsewhere, but the guys working on the MG ZS EV and OVMS have made some good progress.
At the moment we can only read stuff and not send any commands yet.
The Android app is up and running with MG ZS EV graphics, but the iOS app is being updated, but...
