Outlander PHEV Registration

• First need to register your phone on the original application Android or Apple or (Modified application)[https://github.com/vzakharchenko/remote-ctrl-gsm]
• start Smartthings-phevctl Server
• open server and enter your phone mac.

Installation Steps

1. Install Server using Docker or raspberry Pi zero or Manual Installation
2. create Device Handler
3. create smartapp
4. Configure smartthings application on android or apple
5. Get "Smartthings Application Id" and "Smartthings Application Secret"
6. Configure Server
7. Add Smartthings devices

Server Docker Installation

• Install docker

sudo su
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | bash
usermod -aG docker $USER

• Supported Architectures: amd64,x86-64,arm64,ppc64le,arm/v7

docker -d run --name=smartthings-phevctl  -p 8080:8080 -p 8099:8099 -p 8098:8098 --restart=always vassio/smartthings-phevctl

or

echo "{}">/opt/remote-ctrl-gsm.json
docker -d run --name=smartthings-phevctl  -p 8080:8080 -p 8099:8099 -p 8098:8098 -v /opt/config/remote-ctrl-gsm.json:/opt/remote-ctrl-gsm.json --restart=always vassio/smartthings-phevctl

Raspberry Pi Zero installation

1. Download Raspberry Pi OS Lite
2. write the Raspberry Pi OS image to the SD card using balenaEtcher or analog
3. write empty "ssh" and wpa_supplicant.conf files on sdcard (boot)
4. install phevctl, node(>=12) and smartthings-phevctl
