Does anyone know a way to connect a car odb2 port directly to home assisant without the torque pro app?
I am disappointed that this does not appear to be a post about building a server into your car.
Looks like someone on reddit was asking a few years ago, hopefully this points you in the right direction.
EDIT: Just got to the bottom of the thread, found THIS.
I love that this exists, and thank you for introducing me to the site as well.
i want to log my car’s data over time.
I built a data logger a few years back. The data you likely want is on the CAN BUS network. You’ll need a CAN BUS hat for a pi or a pi with it baked in. There are other ways but you will likely end up realizing a pi or similar is best.
You’ll need to log the data while away from home and then sync the data when WiFi is available. Requiring the pi to stay powered after the car shuts off. Easy to do with some relays.
Depending on what data you are looking for it shouldn’t be too much work to get going on logging.
