    Soul Spy?

    And yet you decided to install an app released by this stranger, an app which has unlimited access to send any information it collects, to anywhere on the internet :D I am unable to help resolve the issues you experience, without access to the log-information from the Soul EV Spy app. The log...

    Soul Spy?

    In Soul EV Spy app it is now calculated as min(100.0, (totcap * (1-maxdet/100.0) / nomcap * 100.0)), where totcap = 30.5 kWh, and nomcap = 27 kWh. Would it help if there was an option to share logfiles with the developer, in the app? CAN ERROR indicate a problem in the communication between...

    Soul Spy?

    During the months february to July, the released versions of Soul EV Spy displayed an erroneously high SOH for cars having a low value for min deterioration. As mentioned previously in this thread, the SOH calculation has been fixed in the latest BETA version, available from google play. For...

    Soul Spy?

    There has been more than 10 releases of the app during the past month, one of them unfortunately introduced new communication issues for the "old souls" (2014-2019). This should be fixed from BETA release 0.1.1-4284 (the same release that corrected the SOH calculation). If you still see...

    Soul Spy?

    Would you buy the Soul EV Spy android app, if it was priced at $15 at google play store? Is it worth it? Why or why not? What is the value of the app, if not $15? What are the currently existing need-to-have features of the app? What features are wanted, but missing from the app...

    Soul Spy?

    The SOH display is now limited to displaying max 100 %, so that value is displayed for a new battery. I suppose this behaviour is like what an official Kia readout would display with a new battery. You can take a look at battery.max_deterioration on the Battery Management System page, that...

    Soul Spy?

    SOH calculation algorithm for the Kia Soul EV 2015 and 2016 has today been modified back, so it is now almost the same algorithm as was used by the app until february. The app has displayed erroneously high SOH values since february, especially for cars having one or more bad cells! From...

    Soul Spy?

    Well, the files you emailed me (thanks again!) has some weird-looking data, so I will not recommend the Obdlink MX dongle, until the dongle can be disregarded as the root cause for the malfunction. The only dongle supported by the SoulEVSpy app is the Konnwei KW902. KW902 is not necessarily...

    Soul Spy?

    The panlong has a very small buffer and/or low bluetooth throughput, and it fails to read the entire response to some commands. There are also some commands not understood by this dongle. I have made some workarounds in the app, so data will flow as expected most of the time, but please do not...

    Soul Spy?

    I don't know enough to give advice on whether a KW902 from an amazon store will work or not. What I can say, is that the Soul EV Spy app is developed and tested using a KW902, so other dongles may work perfectly, partially, or not at all. A new version of the app may cause a dongle which used...

    Soul Spy?

    The dongles all claim to be ELM 327, and none of them are (including the KW902). Some works with the soul ev spy app, some doesn't. The only dongle supported is the KW902. The bad KW902 I got from a chinese website was replaced when I told them. I didn't even have to return the defective one.

    Soul Spy?

    I don't think the ones I have are Bluetooth 3.0, perhaps someone have tried this, and can tell whether it works with the car and Soul ev spy app?

    Soul Spy?

    There is some support for the e-Soul 2020 (and e-Niro, Kona EV and Ioniq EV) in the app now, just not as many data values as Soul EV 2015-2018. And actuallly, the eSoul 2020 IS the focus for development currently: I am the current developer of the app, and I sold my Soul EV 2015 and got an eSoul...

    Soul Spy?

    I will repeat: I don't know what the value in 'SOC Prec' is. The name was invented during the guesswork of finding meaning in the anonymous data values collected from the car. Actual range is affected by many other factors besides battery capacity. Have you ruled out: - hanging brakes - New...

    Soul Spy?

    I checked your log files, the car reports 1 for both cell numbers, the app just display what the car reports: 7EC 24 00 24 01 00 08 01 A6 I will fix it.

    Please e-mail the soulspy... txt files from the Download catalogue to [email protected] Also a file from when it worked, If you have it. Write which dongle you use, which car model and variant you have, whether the car was on ready to drive, on not ready to drive, on only accessory or off...

    As you have experienced, BMS battery balancing and recalibration can result in a updated evaluation of battery state. If it has been a long time, or a long distance since last time you discharged to around 10% and charged back up to 100%, the change can be significant. The SOH is calculated...

    The ONLY OBD-II bluetooth dongle supported by the Kia Soul EV Spy app is Konnwei KW-902. If you google it, you get numerous, e.g. this: https://www.amazon.com/KONNWEI-KW-902-Bluetooth-Diagnostic/dp/B00Q5YRC4C or this...

    Thanks for testing :-) I do not have access to a Soul EV, so I am unable to test the app myself. I am entirely relying on receiving the recorded souldata.log2019XXXXXXXX.txt and SoulData.2019XXXX_XXXX.csv files, along with your findings. Please send by email to: [email protected] I am...

    eSoul Spy?

    You are right! I configured my OVMS v3.1 for Kia e-Niro, and connected it to my Kia e-Soul 2020: It reads SOC, BMS voltages, current and temperatures, aux battery voltage, current and SOC, etc.
