Thanks Joe. Since there is only one message option for all charge notifications, if I customize it to include TIME_TO_FULL, will all the notification types use the same message?
I guess I'm a little confused on how to set it up such that only the Starting or Charging notification includes the custom TIME_TO_FULL parameter, not the other notifications (such as Disconnected, Complete, etc.) for which TIME_TO_FULL doesn't make sense.
Thanks again for your support!
Is the ETA field new code or can I use it with the existing VT version I have (0.50.07)?
EDIT: oh I see, you can simply add TIME_TO_FULL to TIME, which is an existing variable that tells the current time, to get the ETA value. Is that what you mean?
The ETA field is new code.
So I don't know if this will help anyone or not, but I thought I'd share, to perhaps make things easier and/or clearer.
If you like the information you currently get in the default charge state notifications, but want to add the "Time To Full", you can just click the little "+" next to "Charge State Becomes", uncheck "use default values" at the bottom, and then copy and paste the following into the message body field:
Time: {{TIME}}
Time To Complete Charging: {{TIME_TO_FULL}}
Charge State: {{CHARGE_STATE}}
SOC: {{SOC}}
Range: {{RATED}}
Estimated Range: {{ESTIMATED}}
Ideal Range: {{IDEAL}}
You can change the language if you like, or leave out some of the above if you want to, but the ones above are what VT had as the defaults. I just added Time at the top, followed by Time To Full.
Also, if you leave the subject blank, the same subject that VT had been using by default will be used.
Below are the last two notification messages I received in the above format:
--
Subject: Charge State: Charging
Time: 01:03:55
Time To Complete Charging: 00:40:00
Charge State: Charging
SOC: 79
Range: 202.8
Estimated Range: 229.7
Ideal Range: 261.9
Subject: Charge State: Complete
Time: 01:43:55
Time To Complete Charging: 00:00:00
Charge State: Complete
SOC: 90
Range: 228.9
Estimated Range: 259.2
Ideal Range: 295.6
