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

I created these 2 dashboards

Nice.

You should be able to change the decimals setting for the odometer and range readings so they are just whole numbers.

Click on the little circle with the number, it will open up a history popup, that has a gear icon at the top, click that and you can edit the settings including display precision.

there is one thing that I'm still wondering about .. if this integration only update the status of the car once every day (the default value) .. how does it knows that I'm driving the car ? I don't think there's a trigger from the car saying that it's moving or powered on ..

Mine updates automatically when it's being driven, and I have an automation to start polling as well when it's being charged. That only needs to run once, and it will keep updating thereafter until charge session ends.

It checks the sensor reporting the power draw on my EVSE and once it reports drawing more than 500 W it triggers polling to commence.

mine does the same ... but from my understanding of how it works is that the app pool the information from the car either periodically or by force refresh .. the car itself cannot trigger the app to pool the data nor can it push the data ...

maybe I'm wrong (most likely is )..
