    Yeah... it's dying slowly, lol... but as of yet I've not found anything that does the recurring scheduled tasks it's capable of.... so still running it.

    So I have to again ask, anyone still running VisibleTesla on macOS High Sierra (such that it actually runs)? I’ve chosen on my MacBook Air to not upgrade OS now for over a year just so I can continue to run VT as I’ve not found anything that allows me to keep my data local plus not have to store any credentials on some server.

    Reason I ask is that after not having been able to get any streaming data for over a year-and-a-half I started recently seeing some streaming data show up. This first happened about two weeks ago, started seeing a few intermittent data points (odometer and GPS coordinates show up) when I exported the charge cycles (main thing I use VT to collect). Since about last weekend it appears I am consistently getting streaming data. This isn’t just for the charge cycles, but it will recognize vehicle in motion and consistently log streaming data over a drive cycle. That’s obviously being triggered off my set preferences for logging frequency based upon distance since last point as I’m getting data even if I have VT set to be in sleep mode.

    Just curious if anyone else, I guess either on MacOS or Windows platforms have also noticed streaming data to have suddenly start reappearing.

    I was using it for 4 years but on Windows mostly and switched over to TeslaMate, so can't help you with current behavior.
    But I found an alternate open source product.
    It can run locally on Mac/Windows in Dockers. So password stays on your local machine.
    A little more involved than VT but many more data points recorded!
    Latest thread on this tool here: TeslaMate update

    BELOW in yellow (no strikethrough on this forum) IS NOT TRUE ANYMORE,
    Sorry... just found out Google Cloud's instance won't work anymore!
    Haven't had time to check why, but latest posts in mentionned thread, are offering other Cloud options or Pi4 if you prefer.
    I'm now running it in the GoogleCloud after following this step-by-step guide that one of this forum member created and discussed in mentionned thread:
    How to setup and run TeslaMate for free on Google Cloud - TeslaEV.co.uk

    So password is in the Cloud...but my Cloud
