The live data of the solar boat is build upon the logged CAN-data from the datalogger that sends a string of MQTT packet to the EoI Linux server that can be used to show in the home assistant dashboard.

This dashboard can be accessed through live.boi2.nl. Where a login is prompted before it can be accessed, the login can be asked from: Quinten and Floris.

Home assistant dashboard

The home assistant dashboard is subscribed to the MQTT topic, where the CAN-data is processed and shown on the dashboard.

Pages

On the dashboard there are multiple pages where the data is shown to the user. A list of those pages are given below:

Pagename Description
HOME This is the overview with common used data during a race.
BATTERY A detailed view within the state of the battery.
MPPT A detailed view of the different MPPTs.
GRAPHS A graph showing the power output of all the solar panels.
MAP Map showing the location of the boat.

Wish list

The dashboard and plug-ins that home assistant provides is still in its infant state and can be drastically improved to show the data in a sophisticated way. Therefore a list of possible improvements are shown here.

  • An easier way to create graphs for different variables
  • Map were a path can be drawn and calculate distance ( for long distance races )
  • A way to start a timer of some sort to create a point for data analysis
  • A way to show estimated time on basis of incoming and outgoing power
