EVNotify - the app for your el 2.4.0

EVNotify provides remote monitoring of your electric vehicle's battery status, including state of charge and charging power, delivering real-time updates and notifications. Its functionality includes alerting users when the desired charge level is reached or if charging is interrupted, facilitating effective management of charging sessions without constant manual checks.

Notably, the application is offered free of charge, eliminating financial barriers. Its setup requires only an Android-compatible device, Bluetooth capability, internet access, and a Bluetooth-enabled OBD2 dongle—requirements that are generally accessible to most users. EVNotify operates independently of the vehicle's own connectivity, maintaining data monitoring even when the vehicle lacks internet or app integration.

Consider a typical scenario: You are charging your electric vehicle at a fast charger and wish to leave once the battery reaches 80%. Traditionally, you would need to periodically check the vehicle’s charge status manually. With EVNotify installed, you can preset your desired charge level and receive instant notifications through your preferred channels once the target is achieved, streamlining your charging process significantly.

The recent updates have enhanced EVNotify's capabilities by adding a feature to locate nearby charging stations, offering users a comprehensive overview of available options at any time.

Key advantages include:

• Free access with continuous development and open-source code
• Bluetooth connection enables data retrieval even without vehicle internet or app connectivity
• Compatibility with all Android devices (Android 4.1 and above), including Android TV sticks
• Multiple notification options such as email, push notifications, and Telegram alerts
• Support for multiple devices simultaneously
• An integrated charging station locator
• Ability to track driving and charging activities
• Ongoing addition of new features and improvements

The application supports various vehicle models, with full support for some (offering detailed data beyond just charge level) and basic support for others (monitoring only charge percentage). Support for additional models is planned for future updates.

It is important to note that EVNotify is still under active development; users should be aware of potential limitations. Feedback and issue reports can be submitted via its GitHub repository at https://github.com/GPlay97/EVNotify. Usage is at the user’s own risk, particularly when using inexpensive or counterfeit OBD2 dongles, which may compromise data accuracy or device safety.
