By | February 9, 2017

Is not enough to monitor the house you need something for the car also. He er the solution has two components:
– the hardware: Bluetooth Diagnose Interface Software ELM-327 Canbus OBD 2 Plugs Car
– the software: Dash – Drive Smart

The hardware is a simple OBD device that I keep plugged in my OBD port of the car. It is able to read in real-time parameters from the car computer.

The software Dash is a feature rich software that is able to connect to the hardware device and monitor the engine parameters.
A lot of the parameters can be displayed in real-time to the smart phone screen offering you an additional smart dashboard. It is also recording trips, giving you a score for the way you drive, hinting you where you can improve your driving style to save fuel.
