 "title": "Get engine and fault events posted to the family room",
 "page_title": "How to get engine and fault events posted to the family room with Car Watch",
 "summary": "The car posts engine reads and stored fault codes into a chat room when real events happen.",
 "who": "A household that shares a chat room and wants to know about a car fault without someone checking the dashboard.",
 "problem": "A stored fault code or hybrid milestone is easy to miss if nobody is looking at the car.",
 "outcome": "Room messages with the event, the time and a plain-language explanation from the manual, posted only on real events.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the repo with `git clone https://github.com/ThinkOffApp/CarWatch` and set up the Pi as described in the README. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Connect the car's agent to your GroupMind room, using the name you chose, such as @gle. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Drive the car and let the engine reads run, then check the room for event posts.",
  "Confirm the post names the stored code and includes the explanation from the owner's manual."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the CarWatch repo at https://github.com/ThinkOffApp/CarWatch, configure the room agent for the GroupMind room <room-name>, then report the last three event posts it made. Verify that each post has a timestamp and that no post appears without a real car event.",

  "any"

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "2 hours",

  "A GroupMind room account for the car's agent, if you want room posts",
  "Access to the car's own speakers and microphone for hands-free voice",
  "Python 3 on the Pi, since the repo is Python with no pip dependencies"
