# HVAC signals

#

This week I started adding signal inputs for the HVAC page, currently only 4 VIS signals are supported as the demo apps have not been patched to support other signals and mostly unresponsive on the Qt5 & Flutter images of AGL.

The signals that were added this week are:

1. Left Temp: “Vehicle.Cabin.HVAC.Station.Row1.Left.Temperature”
2. Left Fan Speed: “Vehicle.Cabin.HVAC.Station.Row1.Left.FanSpeed”
3. Right Temp: “Vehicle.Cabin.HVAC.Station.Row1.Right.Temperature”
4. Right Fan Speed: “Vehicle.Cabin.HVAC.Station.Row1.Right.FanSpeed”

More signals can be added after further discussion with my mentors.

# Animations & Window handles

#

# Config

#

Configurations will now be handled by the config.py module and help in retaining past preferences and configurations by reading the config file.

Secure & Insecure Mode

#

I have also added bindings for enabling and disabling the secure and insecure modes (SSL) of connection with Kuksa-val-server and tested both for verification as well.

# New Theme

#

This week I also added a new theme to add more contrast to each element and make the text and icons more legible.

# What Next?

#

• Start working on Dashboard and Steering wheel Signals
• Revisit the optional Navigation widget
• Improve GitHub README and documentation
