wifi extender #4
Comments
Looks like your car see mac address of your ESP instead of iphone. You can try to register in the app with esp connected |
@ningyichensha If this does not help, then you can try to connect to your ESP. from PC. and ping 192.168.8.46
|
@ningyichensha You should understand that EV-Remote uses own DHCP server, and give you IP from 192.168.8.47 - 192.168.8.254 So your extender have to work in 2 ways: First Way: ESP in Router mode
In this case your car does not see the Iphone. Second Way: ESP in Bridge mode
For you the best is the second way. |
My suggestion is to use mikrotik. but without VPN connection. |
@ningyichensha , You can use any type of wifi mikrotik for example https://mikrotik.com/product/RB931-2nD (20$). |

Hello, Last thing I tried was using a raspberry zero with a second antenna, but also no success so far. |
@ningyichensha What is the error message you get / where does it stop for you? Are you able to ping the Outlander? Cause I just setup something similar, and I can ping the Outlander just fine, but the app (on iPhone) complains that "Device is connected to a network other than the vehicle network". Thus I'm guessing the app reads the SSID of the wifi the phone is connected to and stops all actions since it's not the vehicle SSID. Guess I need to find an Android device and run the modified apk for this to work. |
Hi eithe, In the meantime I follow another approach to reach my goal to expand the range to appr. 1 km. To achieve this, I needed a repeater, which stays in the car and runs with DC. So far, this works fine, even if the repeater uses another SSID. But the range of the wifi signal has not improved much. The next step is to connect a better antenna to the repeater. May be add a booster. If you are interested, I keep you up to date and give more details of the DC converter. |
Thanks for the update, @ningyichensha! Actually I also found another solution to what I really wanted to achieve (smart house integration when the car is parked at home) a few hours after this post. I used https://github.com/phev-remote/phevctl on an Raspberry pi that connects to the car where I just changed the MAC address of the wifi device to be the same as my iPhone so I didn't have to re-register or anything. |

I'm working with another solution: |
Hello, I looked at your project and I am very impressed.
I do own the same car, Model 2020 and just need to extend the reach of the wifi of the car.
So far I tried this software, "martin-ger /esp_wifi_repeater" which is also in github.
The configuration is: car <--> ESP8266 <--> iphone
The ESP connects to the car.
iphone connects to the ESP.
But the app on the iphone does not get through to the car with the ESP8266 inbetween.
Without the ESP everything works fine, but I need to be very close to the car. car <--> iphone
Do you have any idea, why this doesn't work?
