Auto Fan
HV cooling fan can be automatically controlled by Hybrid Assistant
Here's the effect of setting fan activation at 36.
Fan will start if temperature is 36 or higher, and will stop at 2 degrees below the specified level (34 in this case)
Option is available in the settings screen

Brightness
Checking the Automatically reduce brightness option in the setting screen will cause the screen to change backlight level according to ambient light.
This may be useful while driving at night.
Option will be grayed out if the phone doesn't have any light sensor.

12V Auxiliary Battery Measurement
The new version of Hybrid Assistant checks Auxiliary Battery Voltage while the car is off.
Be sure to use an high quality OBD adapter to have a reliable reading.
Fuel Chart
The Fuel Chart shows real time instant and average fuel consumption.
Values are shown in L/100km
The Fuel Chart is available in 2 versions:
High Precision chart has the highest refresh rate permitted by your OBD adapter: it can be as fast as 5 times a second, but an high performance adapter and phone are mandatory for proficient use.
High Precision chart also uses colors to highlight ascending and descending trends in fuel usage.
You can open the Fuel Chart by tapping the EV icon.
Tapping anywhere into the chart will close it, and performing a long tap will switch between Standard and High Precision.
A) Instant consumption: the bar size changes to display fuel usage in L/100km. Bar color changes according to usage trend: green if instant consumption is less than the previous reading, orange if not.
B) History area: this area keep history of fuel usage. A vertical mark is drawn every minute, with a thicker one every 5
C) A green area shows decreasing fuel usage
D) An orange area shows increasing fuel usage
E) Average fuel usage over the whole trip is also plotted: red when increasing, green when decreasing

Temperature Chart
The new version of Hybrid Reporter adds several temperature related entries to the Powertrain temperature chart:
Engine coolant temperature: coolant of the petrol engine
Inverter temperature: highest temperature among all car inverters
Battery temperature: highest temperature among all temperature sensors of the HV battery
Battery inhaling temperature: temperature inside the car, you can't expect the HV temperature to go below this
MotorGenerator temperature: highest temperature among all electric motors
External temperature: temperature outside the car
Engine coolant temperature: coolant of the petrol engine
Inverter temperature: highest temperature among all car inverters
Battery temperature: highest temperature among all temperature sensors of the HV battery
Battery inhaling temperature: temperature inside the car, you can't expect the HV temperature to go below this
MotorGenerator temperature: highest temperature among all electric motors
External temperature: temperature outside the car

New Release
Lots of new charts for Hybrid Reporter
Average fuel consumption at each given speed
Average value is highlighted with a dot, along with min/max range and standard deviation.
Note that under 70 km/h, variation is really high, since the electric motor can push the car with no petrol engine contribution
BSFC Value
Value of g/kWh during the trip.
Note how BSFC value gets better as the engine enters best temperature range and speed variations are kept at minimum.
At which power output is the engine more efficient?
The BFSC for kW chart shows precisely that.
The measure uses only values from optimal temperature range, and is significant when performed on a long trip with many different and steady power requests.

New Release
Fuel usage is now available on all OBD adapters.
BIG disclaimer: quality of fuel reading is tightly related to quality of OBD adapter.
Poor quality/slow adapters will lead to unreliable results.
The settings dialog can now be accessed from the lower right wrench icon on the main screen
Text size option in the settings screen: it can be used to reduce font size in case of truncated text
Engine and inverter temperature indicators now change color according to trend: orange - increasing, cyan - decreasing
Various fixes:
- end of S1b
- S4 detection at car ignition
- RX450 now correctly detected
- accurate speed detection for Prius 3
- improved OBD adapters compatibility

HA Survey
in the following, the synthesis of survey answer is reported, as extracted from the permanent survey created as HA vs. phones and OBD adaptors monitoring tool.
The survey is always available at the following link https://goo.gl/forms/ezAIiApn8kGCZFEq1
HA team thanks the participants and invete all of you in provinding again your feedback on the newer versions of HA (lot of evolution in the last weeks)
Thanks.
HA Survey Report as of 31st October 2016
NOTE
The configuration with fan control not working are the ones with cycle time greater (>0,6).
Many exceptions to this rule also with users using OBLINK LX that experienced on old releases fan control problems. (No sufficient data to perform statistics on newer releases).
1 tester, reported that disconnecting HA from TT2, the fan control functionality is restored.
With newer releases, two testers reports several disconnections and Java IO exceptions at start.
As general rule (from survey and from forum information):
- the phone connected to 3g/4g network is good
- the phone connected to TT2 or to other BT adapters presents high cycle time values
- the phone connected to Wifi presents high cycle time values
Phone compatible with HA according to survey:
