Hi all,
I am launching https://www.autoflugel.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; -- a new free service for LEAF owners to check their charging status by text message. To use the service, sign up and add your mobile phone number, and then send a confirmation code.
Then, any time you want to check your car's charge, send "status" to the service's phone number, and less than a minute later, get a reply with the current charge status (plugged in or not, charging or not, %SOC).
You can also send a text with the word "charge", and AutoFlugel will ask your car to start charging (i.e. if it's plugged in, but on a timer).
If there's enough interest, we can start building other services on top of this. The one I'd most like to build next is "send me a text if it's 9pm and my car is not plugged in, and charge is less than 80%", or something similar. However, for now, I'm looking for feedback and folks to try using the service as-is. There are some rough areas that I'll improve if there's enough interest in the service.
Let me know if you find it useful, broken, or a stupid idea.
