Thanks for your thoughts about it. You consideration about getting bored by those data definitely requires our attention. And like you mentioned, comparison within the community or social network can be a powerful motivation to engage people.
As to the consumption data, We were thinking about getting info from all the appliances and develop functionality like notifying user "you forget to turn off your lamp" and so on. But as you said, that needs upgrade of the appliances or adding a smart plug for each appliance so that you can control them. At last we decide not to implement those part for now. So what we are doing currently is just a smart energy management box that can collect infomation about the generation of the solar panel and usage of the whole household, in which we can show the consumption of the EV by connecting to the charger. We could also divide the usage further into groups except for just EV cars, which requires not much hardware installation, but we doubt whether it's useful and desirable for the users. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Forget-to-charge-your-EV-often-come-to-our-automatic-car-charging-scheduling-app-tp4669366p4669391.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
