Support for ebike with Shimano EP-8
Completed
Hi, I would request a support for ebike with Shimano EP-8.
There is a BLE connection possible, but no useful data.
The same information as E-Tube Ride would be nice, like speed, cadence, battery, power etc.
Thanks
Andy
I like this idea 
To do this, Shimano must release the data via an interface. As far as I know, Shimano only works with Garmin. You can ask Shimano.

For me, the battery level in % would be one of the most important values. Have already searched in forums, because I wanted to switch the profile via Tasker. But so far I could not find a hint so that you can access the data.

Hi all,
As I don't have a display on my ebike (ep801 motor) I needed to have at least some parameters of my ebike visible while using Locus Maps, so I found an app on the android play store - ST RIDE. It was quite good with the options it had, but (for me at least) the split screen option didn't work, so I contacted the developer and he quickly fixed it.
I use a split screen 1/3 to 2/3 and my 2 own schemes where I have 6 parameters and with having 4 cells I can just slide it up or down with my finger. This way I can always see the mode I'm in and the battery level (%). I can also use 6 cells at the same time and they are still perfectly readable. The screen is 6.67".
It's not bad in my opinion, so I'll just leave a heads up here :)

Hi, thanks for supporting e-bikes. It works perfectly with my EP8. The version log mentions extended e-bike telemetry, like remaining range. Is this available for Shimano systems?

Hi guys,
I've spend last months mostly on fixing problems with Bosch devices, so as I see, I've even forget to write more here, to this topic.
So, Shimano STEPS motors should be supported and fully working. Thanks Andreas for confirmation.
What app currently reads: cadence, assist mode (including the exact Fine Tune level), active assist profile name, gear, and battery %.
About the remaining range: in the recordings I have so far (all from one EP-801), the range value doesn't seem to be sent over Bluetooth. One value might still be it, but it only changes as the battery drains, and the recordings are too short to tell.
If you or anyone else here would like to help, a few recordings would let us check it and possibly add more values:
How to record: you need the current Locus Map beta. Go to Sensors, open your Shimano bike, tap settings and turn on "Enable raw capture". Ride as usual, then attach the file Locus/Logs/sensor_….log here with a sentence about what you did and what the display showed. Report may be also send over long-click on the main menu > upload to support and sharing the upload ID.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Menion,
I made a recording, first in Boost mode ending up with a range of 48km after a distance of about 3km, then in Trail mode starting with a range of 98km and then after a distance of about 11km I switched to Eco mode withe a range of 194km ending at km 17 with a range of 159km.
The range was always displayed correctly in all modes.
I hope this helps.
