EVNotify allows you to control your electric vehicle and let you notify when the specified preset state of charge has been achieved.

Note:

This repository contains the frontend/client source code. For the backend please visit: https://github.com/GPlay97/EVNotifyBackend. EVNotify is still in an early stage of development. Errors or unexpected behaviour may occur. Furthermore, not all features may be implemented yet. Stay tuned and please report any issues or suggestions.

The idea behind EVNotify

Originally this application was developed to have a possibility to remotly see the charging state for the Hyundai IONIQ, which isn't possible in Europe due to missing BlueLink connection. Then I decided to enhance it so you'll get notified when the desired state of charge has been achieved. Also I want to support more cars in the future.

Imagine the following situation: You are charging your electric vehicle on a fast charger. To proceed with your roadtrip, you need to charge until 80%. You are drinking a coffee in the meantime. But you want to drive away as fast as possible because every minute that passes costs time and money. Normally you have to check for the charging state every few minutes, leave everything, physically needs to go to the car, which is annoying. With EVNotify you can just check the state of charge remotly - or simply gets notified when the desired state of charge is set so you can go. Without having to worry every about your state of charge every few minutes. Simply enjoy!

The android device must have a bluetooth connection and a internet connection. The app also runs on Android TV Sticks. EVNotify communicates over the obd2 interface of the car, so a bluetooth capable obd2-dongle is required. For supported obd2 dongle please have a look at the wiki.
