Here's another newb question. Am I correct in assuming that if I want to check if I remembered to plug my car in at night at, say, 11pm.....That if the car is "asleep" (which mine seems to usually be), I will have to wake it up in order to successfully query it in order to find out that it's plugged in? I think this is true, but I'm being very careful to not wake the car unless absolutely necessary to avoid unwanted vampires.
This is also another of the reasons why I write to a real database instead of just a flat file, I can use code logic to go backwards in time to the last time the car was driven and check if the GPS matches my garage when the car went into park, then check if the car was plugged in. You can do the same on a flat file but it'll be resource heavy and slow to query through all that data.
