Tesla hardware module

[MrHobbes74]

It’s possible to use Apple home in combination with homebridge and donoticz, but it’s not ideal. Have you tried Pilot? That is a good alternative, it works great with domoticz.

What a great advice

Nothing better than a free commercial

[meel4chris]

yes, I applied the patch
It doesnt seem to work completely:

I could add the hardware (had to add my VIN, user name and password).
after that 1 device was added:
Tesla 1 1 Tesla State General Alert (4) Not home

when I check the log from the device, the field user gives me the following:
"EventSystem//home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_time_irrigation.lua"

I now see that I'm running at 4.11708, is this the issue?

I have been using Pilot several years already for the iBeacon support. In the last years the GUI has improved significatnly indeed! this looks better now as Imperihome

[MrHobbes74]

4.11708 is correct. The beta is 4.11707, and my build is one higher
Can you check the domoticz log for tesla events? Do you get errors?
The fact that you only get one device probably means you are getting connection errors when retrieving data.
Or you didn't wait long enough before checking....the tesla API is very slow and when the car is in deep sleep, it may take a while before the first results appear.
The 'weird' user I do not know where that comes from, but I don't think it is relevant. Although you may have an old lua scripts that wants to access the tesla IDX that was created...

[meel4chris]

The second time I tried it I get more switches: temperature, battery level, tesla state, climate switch, charge switch and defrost.
They dont seem to work. If I click on the switch, it switches back after a few seconds and I dont see a change in the Tesla app.


in the log I see the following. (Location, ID, and VIN I replaced with xxxx)
It seems to think I'm not at home, but I am at home.

after applying the patch I cant control my house anymore, in the hardware section, my aeotec stick is now displayed as "???? Unknown (NA/Not supported)"

[MrHobbes74]

It seems the connection is working well. Note that the switches can only be used when the tesla is detected as 'at home'. This is for safety reasons. This depends on your location settings in domoticz. To test, you could change the location in domoticz settings to the location that your tesla is found. Is your car parked far away or beside your house? And do you get the correct values for the other devices (temperature, battery)?

[MrHobbes74]

This may be related to the fact I don't compile with ZWAVE options (I don't have ZWAVE devices). So I can understand the patch will cause that. But it can also be a problem with the beta (without my patch).

[meel4chris]

it works! I aligned the gps settings in domoticz!
I can switch the charging and the heating. great!

It is still a bit slow indeed. are you using the userid/pwd every time or are you logging in with the acces token / bearer code?

Do you know the impact on the battery when the car is constantly being polled by domoticz?

[MrHobbes74]

Great! And battery/temp values are also OK?

[meel4chris]

the temp in domoticz is 2 degrees higher as in the app.
battery i cant see in % in the app but seems about right.

[meel4chris]

but unfortunately I have to remove the patch for now since the other hardware is affected and not working anymore.

[MrHobbes74]

I use the token/bearer code. The tesla falls asleep quite fast. And even when not asleep, it is slow. In the app this is also the case.
If all switches are off (you are not heating/charging) the polling is once per 10 minutes. I think that doesn't cost much battery.
If you are charging, every minute the values are requested.

[MrHobbes74]

Well, this was a test for me to see if it works with other tesla's as well. So I'm happy you took the effort!

without the patch it works with the zwave devices on the latest beta.

ok. any particular reason why it only works when the car is at home?

[meel4chris]

no problem, was happy to do so!
planning to add this to the "normal beta"?

OK, then it is related to my compiler options (non-zwave compilation).

Yep! Soon I hope

Because I don't feel safe if domoticz is accidentally sending commands to my car when I'm driving....but I could replace it with 'speed is 0'
