I use this little thing, and even though a lot of people on here are apparently very against OBD plugs, I haven’t had any problems with it so far, even after 2+ months of not using my car it wasn’t even close to draining the battery.
There’s also an additional module for LTE and GNSS in development right now, which I’ll probably get as soon as it’s out. For now it works just fine with wifi though
Do not base one of the most expensive purchases of your life around a single application.
My opinion - since you’re running HA, I assume you like having control over your data. Any vehicle with a connection to the manufacturer is absolutely sucking up your data (everything you do in and to the car), and selling it to insurance providers.
Don’t lean on the GDPR to protect you here. Your data is not safe in a connected car. Buy used.
Yeah I’m not, I have a number of options and this is a point of consideration.
All cars are required to have a sim since 2016, I wish they didnt have manufacturer access but they do. I thought maybe I would get someone pointing out how to get access locally
I guess we got lucky with our 2015 Highlander 😅
A dumb one, as in not connected. You can get an OBD add-on for $100 US that will connect to home assistant.
OBD ports were not designed as IO ports. OBD plugins can cause parasitic draws, fires and fry the ECU.
