Vehicle is moving status
Closed this issue · 5 comments
In the volkswagen app I can determine whether the vehicle is moving or not. Is there a way to see that status through weconnect-mqtt as well? I've looked through the topics in mqtt, but didn't see anything that fits the bill.
At the same time I noticed that there is a "parking" badge present in the pictures provided through mqtt. I'm not sure if that is an indicator for movement or something else?
Is there maybe some other topic used to detemine when the vehicle is moving, am I missing something obvious? :)
Can you show a screenshot of the „moving“ status? I have not seen that yet.
The badge I'm talking about is in the pictures that i fetch from mqtt:
When the car is parked it shows the parking badge, but I'm not sure exactly what it means. If it's ignition, movement, parking break or something else.
I used to be able to see the same thing in the old weconnect-app as well, but I'm unsure if it actually shows in the new VW app that I recently switched to. I will double check that.
I have not been able to find anything in mqtt that looks like it could indicate movement.
The badge is shown when there is a parking position. This is equivalent to ignition off. You can have that in mqtt by checking that there is no parking position set
I see, that makes sense. I didn't know that the parking position disappears while driving.
I checked the new VW app and it does indicate "driving" by turning the rear lights on. But I assume they use the same way to figure out when the ignition is on.
The rear lights on is indicating that the rear lights are on. Does not necessarily be a moving vehicle
