Down again?

looks like it. no charge last night and cannot login to it just now.

Reset the server - should be back up. I'll have to look into things tonight to try to understand what could have caused two outages in a relatively short span...

I haven't been getting messages for a couple of days regarding interrupting/ending charge sessions. It started working again within 48 hours ago.
Could it be your software thought it was communication with the entune system but in reality it was down/ not communicating with the rav4ev's ?

down again since last night. no charge, no access to web site.

Previously I had just done a 'soft' reset of the user interface to get things back up, but this morning I went in and did a full reboot - hopefully that gets things stable again for a while. I'm digging through the logs for a sign of anything strange that caused this, but most likely it's just that the system has been running for several months without a reboot. Sorry for the inconvenience, and do keep letting me know if it's down again!

The command-via-SMS service is down until further notice. This service relies on Google Voice to forward SMS messages to email, and a few days ago Google changed the way these messages are formatted, which has wreaked havoc on my server. I'll have to re-program the parsing of messages so it may be a few more days...

Ok it should be resolved now. Thanks to those who brought this to my attention.

I was wondering if it might be possible to add a few enhancements to the RAVCHARGE web page. I believe in the Toyota Entune app it shows if the Extended Mode has been enabled. It would be nice if this was also shown on the RAVCHARGE web page and somehow indicated in the STATUS command response on the text/SMS. I think that Entune also shows the remaining charge time when the in-car timer is not enabled so it is easy to determine when the charging will be completed. (If the in-car time has been enabled it then shows a departure time and this can be altered using the app.) Could this also be displayed on the RAVCHARGE web page? Perhaps even a new text/SMS command TIME that will indicate remaining charge time? I tend to use the text features of RAVCHARGE the most so any info provided via is text is best since SMS/text commands can get through easier when the cell signal is marginal. Also is there any way to show the state of charge in a true percentage? I think right now 100% shows when the battery is full in non-extended mode. If extended mode is enabled it still shows 100%. (I know this is a long shot but I have to ask.)

Finally is there some info on how to setup and use the timers someplace?

Thanks in advance.
