WiCAN Pro Command Line Interface (CLI)?

[mevermurlen]

I purchased a WiCAN Pro a week or so ago and am trying to get it to send data from my BMW i4 (all electric vehicle) to Home Assistant. I'm having difficulty defining custom PIDs. I've been looking at various sources for PID definitions for BMW i3, i4, and i5 vehicles. Some of those definitions seem to work, but return bad values. So I think I need to do some reverse engineering. What I'd like to do is get a command line interface to the WiCAN Pro that I can directly type AT and OBD commands into and see the raw return values. Is this possible to do? I'm running firmware version 4.45 on the WiCAN Pro. I'm using iOS/MacOS devices to access the WiCAN Pro via its built in web server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@mevermurlen this beta version adds a ELM327 command line to the Web UI. Its in the terminal tab, change the terminal type to ELM327. Keep in mind the device will go to sleep after 5 min by default.

@meatpiHQ Thanks so much for adding this. I tried it out this morning and it's working. Now I need to learn the intricacies of the ELM327 language. The AT commands are working for me as expected. However when I give an OBD2 command, such as "22E5CE", the return data doesn't look like what I expect. I am guessing that I don't have return data reporting configured quite right.

@meatpiHQ Any further informations to the CLI? I saw this "Console: LED command now supports RGB color and blink options" but found no documentation.... I did a quick check on the WiCan Pro Code branche. But didn't saw any commands...

Maybe a further Enhancement: Switch LED by MQTT oder HA-Add on. I love my WiCAN 3 LEDs -> If MQTT Connection is established, it on. Easy to explain to my Wife to check, if there is a valid connection and automation works.

P.S. the schematics does have a typo ;) I guess it's "switch"
