The Charger information card read "—" beside State and OCPP status while the raw
block three rows below it printed chargerStatus 1 and ocpp_connect_status 2. The
account had answered both. The merge asked for the state as evChargerStatus,
operating_state or status, which is how the standalone and station views spell
it, and the bound-device view — the one this account actually answers from —
spells it chargerStatus. The OCPP state it never asked that view for at all. All
three views now read through one fillDevice, which tries every spelling a view is
known to use, so a value any of them sends reaches the row that was drawing a
dash for want of it.
The same views were carrying the whole box-on-the-wall half unread: the Wi-Fi
network and its MAC, the signal strength, the Bluetooth MAC, the time zone, when
the account bound the charger, how the app can reach it — BLE, Wi-Fi — and the
product shot for the model, which now sits beside the charger's name in both
apps. Named rows, in three languages, the way the register map's readings are
named.
One field wanted the opposite treatment. The device record carries blue_password,
the charger's own Bluetooth pairing password, and the card was printing it in
clear into every screenshot anyone takes of that page. Any leaf key holding a
password, secret, token, private key or certificate is now masked in the raw
block: that the field exists is worth reporting, its value is not.
Four endpoints answer only when a serial is named, so none of them could belong
to the list the card is drawn from, and nothing had ever called them. The station
record, the charging totals, the OCPP backend and the RFID cards now arrive
through a charger-details capability behind
GET …/anker-solix/chargers/{sn}/details, asked for the charger being looked at,
best effort, each view reporting its own failure — an account that is not the
owner cannot read the cards, which is a fact about the account rather than an
error in the read.
Those four are shown under the cloud's own keys, and that is not an oversight.
The REST map documents which endpoints exist and what each is for; it does not
document a single one of their payloads. Naming those fields is the next commit,
made from what actually comes back, now that there is somewhere to see it.
Not touched: the endpoints the map marks ready but unwired — session history,
site price, OTA, sharing, notifications — each a feature rather than a row on this
card; and the unmapped ones, which the map warns delete sessions and unbind
devices with payloads nobody has ever seen.

DriverVault
A car control & service-tracking system (originally "Car Control Project").
Built incrementally — starting with a car maintenance tracker (modeled on
Car Service.xlsx) and growing toward live integration with the car via a
cellular ESP32 device and third-party services (Toyota Connected, EV chargers).
Architecture
All clients communicate with the database only through the API Server — nothing talks to PocketBase directly.

The Web and Phone apps are at feature parity.
Features
- Maintenance tracking — cars, service history (date/odometer + which parts were changed), and a per-car parts catalog, with next-due date/km status from the spreadsheet formulas.
- Technical checks — the mandatory roadworthiness inspections (przegląd techniczny / MOT / TÜV): result, cost, station and the certificate's valid-until, which overrides the car's interval and drives the next-due date.
- Maintenance log — workshop visits and repairs outside the routine schedule: type/status, workshop, parts used, labour + parts cost, invoice, warranty-until.
- Fuel tracking — refills with derived efficiency (average / best / worst consumption, cost per km, price per litre). Consumption is measured between full tanks, so partial fills roll into the next full one.
- Documents — insurance, registration, road tax and the rest, each with a server-computed renewal/expiry state.
- Reminders — date- and/or odometer-triggered, one-off or recurring, plus read-only reminders the server derives from documents and service records.
- Attachments — one optional file (PDF or image) per service record, technical check, maintenance entry, refill, document and part; fetched back through the API Server, never a public URL.
- Accounts — PocketBase-token login, profile + appearance preferences (theme/locale/date format/currency/font), avatar, email verification, data export/import, and an account-deletion state machine.
- Organizations & roles — multi-tenant
user/admin/superadminroles; admins manage users within their own organization, superadmins span all. Any user without an organization can create one and becomes its admin. - Per-user ownership & sharing — each car has an owner and can be shared with other users as read or write; the UI mirrors the server's access checks.
- Integrations — per-user connectors under a superadmin → org-admin → user cascade. Built-in today: Toyota Connected (read-only vehicle data), the Anker Solix V1 EV charger and the Greencell HabuDen wallbox (read over the owner's own MQTT broker — no Greencell cloud is involved). Apprise joins them as a server-wide connector rather than a per-user one: it hands a message to an Apprise gateway the operator runs, which fans it out to any of the 100+ services Apprise speaks.
- Cars from the manufacturer's own service — import a car straight off a connected account (MyToyota today), choosing what to pull in, and read everything that service knows about it from a dedicated first tab on the car. Generic over providers: the next manufacturer is one adapter in the API Server.
- EV charging control — for Anker Solix chargers the owner can start, stop and limit charging from the Charging screen over whichever of three transports their control mode picks: Anker's own cloud (commands ride the connection the charger already holds to Anker, so nothing has to be reachable — the mode for a charger on a customer's network), Modbus TCP on the local network, or an OCPP 1.6J Central System the charger dials back into.
- Translated UI — the interface reads its text from per-language files (English, Polish, Danish today), with English as the fallback for any untranslated string. See TRANSLATIONS.md.
- Phone biometric login & app lock — fingerprint / face sign-in with an app-lock that requires an unlock on relaunch. See the Phone App README.
Auth model
All apps share one auth model: authentication is PocketBase's own.
POST /api/auth/login is proxied to the PocketBase users collection and the
client keeps the token PocketBase minted — the API Server does not issue its
own JWT. Every protected request carries Authorization: <token> (both
Bearer <token> and a raw token are accepted) and the server re-resolves it
against PocketBase on each call, so a role change or a deletion takes effect
immediately. Tokens are stateless, so there is no per-device session list;
changing an account's password rotates its token key and invalidates every token
already issued. Access to cars/records is gated by per-user ownership and shares;
user management requires the admin or superadmin role. Creating an organization
is the one management action open to a plain user — it promotes them to admin of
the organization they just created.
Domain (from Car Service.xlsx)
- Cars — one per vehicle (was: one spreadsheet sheet), with spec fields (engine / transmission / differential oil, brake fluid, coolant, VIN, fuel type, build / first-registration dates, …) and configurable service intervals.
- Service records — date + odometer per service, plus which parts were changed (oil & oil filter, engine air filter, cabin air filter).
- Parts — per-car catalog of part numbers.
Key spreadsheet formulas, reproduced by the API Server on read:
Next Service Date = service date + serviceIntervalDays (default 365; Excel: =A+365)
Next Service Km = service km + serviceIntervalKm (default 15 000; Excel: =B+15000)
Intervals are configurable per car.
Getting started
Bring up the stack in this order — each app's README has the details:
- API Server — configure
.env, runsetup-pocketbase.mjs, start the server. This must be running for either app. - Web App —
npm install && npm run dev(proxies/apito the server). - Phone App —
flutter build apk/flutter runwith--dart-define=API_BASE=http://<server-ip>:8080/api.
Or skip all of that and bring the whole stack up with Docker, which runs the schema setup itself — see Docker (PocketBase + API Server + Web App as three containers) or Docker-AIO (all three in a single image).
