    Surprisingly short battery balancing period (still)

    Just over a year ago I posted with the same title as this one (the balancing period then was 8 minutes). Our car (SE SR) is now 16 months old and has almost always been charged with a granny charger. The balancing period has always been less than 10 minutes. Here's the latest: I think this...

    Has Anyone played around with HomeASSISTANT addon for the MG4 ???

    Sorry - don't know anything about that. You should ask about that on the home assistant forum. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mg-motor-mg5-electric-car-integration/460179/88?u=gwatuk

    Great! It's also worth mentioning that the custom integration is no longer being maintained, whereas the MQTT system is. (There have been several updates quite recently.)

    Try setting up the MQTT add on. Follow the guide I suggested to you in an earlier post.

    @wattmatters I just added your gauge to one of my dashboards: Showed it to my other half, and then showed her the code. She said "Bl**dy h*ll! He must have even more time on his hands than you."

    Which home assistant system are you using? MG / SAIC - Custom Integration or the SAIC MQTT Gateway (Python) addon?

    EU MG4 (all variants) - Service campaign SC077 is out, improving lane assist performance

    I checked ours half an hour ago. Both are remembered. Maybe we have different software versions? Edit: no we both have R38.

    EU MG4 (all variants) - Service campaign SC077 is out, improving lane assist performance

    We've just had this upgrade. Apart from Alert Sensitivity there are two other settings. Audible Warning and Vibration Reminder. So if you turn both these off what does Lane Assistance actually do? And both of these settings are remembered. (And why have these not been mentioned so far in this...

    Thanks @Deepbluexl that's very interesting. So no hope of improving things for the current cars 🙁

    Time taken for software update

    Basically the software is to update a computer in the car. When you do an update for a PC it can take a long time to download but the installation takes just a couple of minutes. What I was told this morning is that they had started the update and it would take about 45 minutes and that once it...
