Tesla hardware module

[kruszylo]

Hi folks, recently I got interested in writing some scripts to send commands to Tesla via API, I was searching on the internet and found this forum. Now I don't owe Tesla (ugh I wish I had one), but I have a dream and in the day when I'll have one I want to have a set of tools ready to customize it. What can I do? I've found this repo: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz and this wiki page: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/EVehicles. What is a good way to start?
Also, I see there are some commands already implemented, I would love to contribute to extending it and implementing some simple functionality like start engine, play music, change volume, etc. Is it possible?

Apparantly now the Tesla access token stays valid only for one day (8 hours), meaning that you have to manualy update the token in the hardware module to keep being connected to your car. Has anyone found a solution for this nuissance?

Bonjour

J'aimerais bien pouvoir piloter l'intensité de charge de ma Tesla en fonction de l'intensité produite par mes panneaux photovoltaïques qui sont monitorés dans Domoticz.
J'ai vu que dans Wiki du plugin Tesla il y avait un projet d'ajouter une partie de cette fonctionnalité : changer l'intensité de charge
Est-ce qu'elle verra le jour bientôt ?

Merci

Hello

I would like to be able to control the charging intensity of my Tesla according to the intensity produced by my photovoltaic panels which are monitored in Domoticz.
I saw that in the Wiki of the Tesla plugin there was a project to add a part of this functionality: change the intensity of charge
Will it see the light of day soon?

Thanks

Hello,

IS there any news? it's unusable as for now

I'm investigating the use of the EVehicles hw module to start building scripts around my Tesla. I've been browsing through this post and read about the API changing very X hours issue. Has that been resolved? And is so, how? Can I use this EVehicles module without any problems? Who is able to confirm this?

Thanks I want to achieve:
- Charing the car when the solar panels are generating enough power for certain amount of time to charge the car,
- When starting the car at home (in the garage) the garage door (already Domoticz controlled) to be automatically opened.
- When the car is getting home, to automatically open the garage door again.

Feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I would love to get a confirmation that the module is working to connect to the Tesla and there are no authentication problems anymore. Looking forward to any feedback on this subject. Who is able to provide an update?

Tesla hardware is currently not working, see also github issue https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/5469

Hey all. Just received my new Tesla yesterday and looking forward to connecting it to Domoticz (like I've done with my Hyundai Kona). Is there any maintenance on the C++ hardware plugin ongoing? Or should I give it a go with the mentioned python library and build a Python based plugin around that? This one looks very promising: https://github.com/tdorssers/TeslaPy

[waltervl]

Knowing your python skills I think a plugin will do perfectly fine.
I did not see any progress on Tesla C++ code.

@ JanJaap:
if you have programmed something useable, would you care to share?

[JanJaap]

When I've done that, I'll post an update. But there are many good idea's I'd like to work on plus some other hobbies that also cost some time....... If anyone wants to help out, it's welcome

[JanJaap]

Allrighty, the first version is there: https://github.com/JanJaapKo/TeslaDomoticz

Be aware it is completely beta, and only retrieves the battery state. Works with my Model Y, should also work with the other models. I should also work should you own more than 1 Tesla (and are registered to your account).

Let me know if it works fine or there's any problem. I'll continue to add more sensors. At this moment, the underlying TeslaPy library is not updated to send commands (Tesla changed some things on their API).

Hello,
I tried your plugin but I faced a fatal error. FYI, I'm a owner of a TM3 SR+ 2022.
Something that was not clear for me is what do you expect as email and password in settings of the plugin? Tesla or ABRP? ==> You mixed both in description so in the fields to fill I was a little bit lost !

Anyway, I tried to launch the plugin and I got this (I replaced my real VIN by "MyVIN"

Code: Select all

Hey,

I'll have a look tonight. The email and password are for the tesla account (although password actually not even used....). Might need to come back for more detailed logging but I'll let you know.

Which password did you enter? Make sure to use the tesla one...

[oeildefeu]

I forgot to mention: I'm on python 3.9.2
Is it an issue ?

yes I entered the Tesla password

[JanJaap]

OK, I'm getting different errors on wrong password here, so I'm gonna need some more detailed logging. Can you switch the plugin to log level '1. debug' and then copy the contents of the log file (called 'tesla_<name of HW module>.log, located in the domoticz directory). You can send it as PM directly if you want.

Btw please make sure to first pull version 0.5.3 (or later) first as it will produce some more debug logging.

[oeildefeu]

Done by PM !
with 0.5.3 freshly pulled from main

[oeildefeu]

0.5.5 works well

Car authetication ok, tesla_prepare.py returned the car name. 5 devices created and one time data retrieved. But since then no communication with car and I am getting this in the log file:

[JanJaap]

OK, as mentioned, there was basically no error handling yet . Implemented now checking for latitude, should fix this problem. Solved in v 0.5.9
