In regards to the Mac OS X menu bar, I am going to look into it in the next couple of days. I know you could pin the app to your dock, but I am not sure the ease of adding it to the menu bar. If you want help adding it to your dock I could make a small guide.
Hi Trevor, great work!
A couple of notes I did not see in the previous pages..
1) The extension shows v 1.1.7 but your last reference was to 1.1.6
2) The interior and exterior temperature showed once for me but now they do not unless I turn on the climate control.
3) Any chance that you could first show a screen showing that the car is asleep before waking it up?
Keep up the good work!
Hey.
...
2) This is actually an issue with Tesla's implementation. It stops sending temperature information after a bit once the climate control has been turned off. It is a strange decision by them, but for now developers just need to work around it. I suppose there could be a hacky fix of toggling the climate on the extension/app load, but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. I suppose a message to convey this to users wouldn't be a bad idea though.
Thank you so much. It honestly makes my day anytime someone donates. I'm happy to see people are finding the extension useful.I like the extension, much easier than getting my phone. I sent some $$$ via paypal to you.
Thanks for the heads up. I will release a small update soon to change this.Very nice job Trevor!
Just a small cosmetic comment : in metric unit, we don't use "kph". We instead use : "km/h".
How about your waiting-spin icon after login also show here to while waiting for the login page?Hey, I'm sorry your first experience with the extension wasn't a great one. That screen is essentially a loading screen. It used to show the Tesla logo until I got worried about potential copyright/trademark issues, so I removed it and forgot to put something there in the new release. If anyone has any ideas let me know. It seems that Tesla's servers are having a hiccup this morning that is causing the calls to lag, making this screen show much much longer than it normally does (.5s). In the background, the extension is asking Tesla if you're logged in. If this request takes a long time, it seems more like the extension is frozen. This is a UX issue with the extension right now. Hopfully everything will go back to normal soon, and in the meantime I will think of something to put on this screen to improve the experience.
Haha yep, this is actually what I've already implementedHow about your waiting-spin icon after login also show here to while waiting for the login page?
I made an update last night/today to both the extension and the chrome app. Now the extension ignores the browser zoom level. This hurts accessibility, but it allows users that have a default zoom of over 100% to be able to use the extension without needing to have a scroll bar. If this has negatively affected the way you use the extension, please let me know so I can figure out a different solution.
I have a 200dpi monitor and the extension seems a little small (I've only just loaded it, so not sure what it looked like in the previous version). I generally run my browser tabs at 150% or 180%.
Maybe you could use the default zoom unless it causes the extension to exceed the window, in which case either do what you do now or scale to fit?
Also noticed that I can't read the version number at the bottom RH corner of the splash screen/login screen (just shows "V1." with the rest truncated) - maybe a related issue?
This is a strange bug, but my guess is that it is more on Tesla's end than mine. Essentially the way the extension/app works with their API is you have to make the request for the action, so in this case you say "Tesla, tell my car to charge to X%". Tesla just replies with "OK" or "No". If you want the updated data, you have to ask "Hey Tesla, let me know the current charge status now". What I do is wait a few seconds after making the request for action, but sometimes the state on their server is a little bizarre when shifting between states. My guess is that if you kept the app/extension open it would fix itself on the auto refresh in the next 5 minutes. I might be wrong and if it is occuring every time please take a few screenshots and I will take a deeper look.If the car is currently charging and you change the percentage it will charge to, the remaining time doesn't update until you close the app and start it again.
Yes, nitpicky, I know.
Would you mind taking a screenshot of the issue? Unfortunatly, the way chrome extension windows work is that the max height is 600px of whatever the browser says 600px is. What I did in the update that you quoted was to make everything scale to that 600px window automatically, so what you're seeing is most likely the max size it can go
