🚗💾 Your Car, Your Data?
The EU Data Act is in effect – but most manufacturers don't give you access to your own vehicle data!
For smart charging & the energy transition, we need real-time APIs. Not email requests and ZIP downloads.

@bodomenke@hessen.social wir haben vor ein paar Wochen den existierenden Health Check entfernt da er Probleme im Home Assitant Umfeld gemacht hat.
@ericalaeta@ruhr.social @ajfriesen@techhub.social @naltatis@mastodon.social @behweh@mas.to 😂 Es gibt ein Transcript.
@kobold@social.troll.academy brauchst du nicht. Nächster Schritt ist, dass wir Lastmanagement auch ne ordentliche UI verpassen. Dann kannst du da direkt die Zähler anhand ihrer Titel und Funktion auswählen. Dann sind die technischen Namen/Referenzen nicht mehr relevant.
@kobold@social.troll.academy die mögliche Meter Namen (db:__) werden dir unter dem Editor im Lastmanagementdialog angezeigt.
