Quick Leaf Notifications app for Nissan Leaf cars

Leaf Notification for Android and Wear

I found Nissan's Android app for the Leaf to be bit cumbersome, and I wanted something that could integrate with Wear. Thus, I reverse engineered the web API endpoints and built this app. Here's a demonstration:

About the code

The code is available under MIT, feel free to experiment with it, learn from it, etc. It does use an undocumented API that is subject to change, though, and references to Nissan are obviously owned by their respective copyright owner. This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nissan.

It was a great learning experience, though, and if you have any suggestions, let me know!

wear-leafstatus's Issues

Verbosity on bad username/password and other errors

Failsafe from API returning 0

Cache vehicle ID

Currently, the app grabs the vehicle ID each time it pulls. This is unnecessary, and should instead be cached in sharedperferences.

Improve SOC percent calculation

Investigate using app API instead of web API

The web API no longer supports JSON, which makes parsing it really difficult and makes it very difficult to future proof. It is worth investigating if the official app has a better API

Make an option to always show "start AC", even if the app thinks its running

Add additional countries

Fix Canada endpoints

The /owners should be removed for Canada

Add "camp mode"

This mode would continually request the A/C to stay on until requested otherwise.

Option to turn on/off alarm service

Finish Start AC support

Add confirmation for starting AC

Spoof user agent

Keyboard blocks Save button

Implement Material Design

I think trying to implement Material would be a good experience to work on my UI skills on Android. This project is a good testing ground for it, since its so simple.

Show notification when camp mode is enabled

Add option for notification to be permanent

Lint the code

Intelligently decide how often to ping data center

Right now, if a user wants to set and forget, it may be desirable to set the timer to 15 minutes. This results in unnecessary spamming of the data center and car, because a car that is unplugged and doing nothing does not need to be frequently pinged.

To improve this, I think it would be best to have an "auto" mode that pings the car more frequently when it is charging.

Add kilometers option

UI Overhaul

Restart notification on boot

Add option to choose which charger level to show
