Personally, I agree. The same would have been true using MQTT(S) which has an advantage of possibly having multiple subscribers. So the discussion is I think about doing it, and not doing it in a stupid way. Using querystrings while encrypted is not really best practice as it’s usually logged by webservers.

Hi

If we would implement this, whether the feature will be active or not, the app would require the “internet connection” right. During the last discussions about this subject, the teams decided always against this. But I like your idea of a custom URL, which would kill the argument about GDPR because then, none of the authors could be hold responsible for any data breach 😉

Since I sometimes make long trips (1800km round trip this summer!) with my trusty Renault Zoe Q90, the possibility to send the real-time data collected by CanZE to an external server, as in the case of ABRP, would be a real plus.

As I said on GitHub, if the user has the possibility to control how the request is forged (with, for example, a system of variables/placeholders in the URL), and if the destination server supports HTTPS, I don’t see any significant problem in terms of privacy.

Moreover, the prediction models for the Renault Zoe on ABRP are still in alpha because they lack real-life data. Personally, I would very much appreciate being able to rely on a refined prediction model, because these kind of long trips are quite complex! If CanZE had had this feature this summer, I could have provided quite a bit of data to refine their prediction model. 🙂

I think not a lot of CanZE users are aware of this post – maybe you could advertise it once within the app (or have a link to it in the options or something), just to make it more discoverable.
(Or even have two links (Yes/No) asking directly if people would be willing to share their SoH data (and a third link here explaining the details) – like some kind of poll.)

Thanks for caring about our data so much!

Thank you Gertjan. My idea is to post: Hash of VIN (so a consumer can “follow” each individual car, without actually knowing it’s VIN), SOH, SOC, Max DC charging power, minimum, mean and maximum battery module temperature.
