Data logger?

[duessell]

Anyone know of a data logger for Rivian or one maybe in the works? I'd enjoy digging into all the sensor data. Something like Teslafi perhaps.

I saw this post on Reddit:

+1 - frankly I'd love if they can just show us some of this info. Battery/motor temps or more detailed failure info if the truck says something is wrong.

RIght now users see things like regen not working or battery charge not maintaining high rate but no real indication of why, temps would be useful here.

So there's an amazing integration for HomeAssistant already. It's built on this Python library.

However, literally last night there was a big hiccup, as Rivian suddenly retired the API that was being used, which means the entire integration is currently busted. The whole thing needs to get migrated over to using the GraphQL endpoint, but I'm not sure how long that will take.

If anyone has time to help out on that, it would be great. I'm not a Python developer (at all), so I'm of little-to-no use for helping here. (I mostly just report issues and feel guilty about not being able to assist.)

I hope 1) Rivian makes data from more sensors available and 2) someone builds a tool for non-programmers.

Here's an option for non-programmers: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-how-to-code

But first, 0) I hope that Rivian decides to release an official API instead of forcing its customers to reverse-engineer the API the way Tesla has.

It’s frustratingly anti-consumer how many companies lock our own data behind obfuscation, leading to less secure products because it encourages 3rd-parties to tinker with the API in ways that we’re never intended.

Rivian doesn't even publish the names of the circuits on it's fuse boxes (they claim it's IP) and if you look in the current owners manual the word "fuse" is not even mentioned at all. And, that is information that potentially every single customer could use because blown fuses do happen.

With that in mind... assume 0.0000% chance of them ever declassifying their API.

FYI: The awesome folks maintaining the HomeAssistant plugin got it working again already!

It's a beta release, but it's already working fine again for me, which makes me happy because I have an automation to help with remembering to plug in the truck, and I like to keep an eye on it's battery with the history logs.

Don't have my R1T yet so there's a limit to what I can poke at from the API. Here's where i'm at right now:

./rivian_cli.py --privacy
Order ID: xxxx2477
Order ID: ORDERED
Status: READY_FOR_FULFILLMENT
Item: R1T
Customer flow complete: No
VIN: xxxx7FCT
ID: Not available yet
Carrier: RIVIAN
Delivery date: Not available yet

Seems like I need the Vehicle ID before I can do much else. I can get my delivery address etc but I know all that.

Using https://rivian-api.kaedenb.org/ for docs and calling into https://github.com/bretterer/rivian-python-client for bits.

I worked on TezLabApp, EVTripping, and some other things so looking forward to playing with it more when I have some data.
