Thanks! I’m glad you like my work! Thanks for the suggestions, they are welcome additions and I will work on them!
Thanks! It was two months of well spent work Well yes, since we are all at home these days, now is the perfect time to upgrade your RPi!cr1cr1 wrote: ↑Saturday 28 March 2020 13:16 Hi MrHobbes74,
Thanks for the great work!
I look forward to setting it up... but will need to upgrade my Raspbian & Domoticz to the latest versions before though...
We were several people from a Tesla french forum to discuss about it but we did not have much time to make it a reality!
Now I guess we are numerous to have much more time for this kind of things...
Nice job anyway
Hi! Glad you like the Tesla hardware! It’s not a plug-in, but part of the native domoticz application. Right now the hardware does not support a custom command yet, so you can’t extend it yourself.marcus54 wrote: ↑Monday 06 April 2020 17:39 Hello,
Your plug-in is a very good initiative!
Is it possible to change details without waiting for a new update?
For example :
The location distance. My car is in my garage and from time to time it is noted "not at home" ...
Change alert messages to personalize them (I'm French -;))
Access the odometer, to calculate the average speed?
Thank you for your work.
Perhaps you could consider that if the Tesla is less than xx (xx= 100?) meters away from the Domoticz location, it is home ???MrHobbes74 wrote: ↑Monday 06 April 2020 19:43 The location problem you can solve by changing the location in Domoticz settings to the location in your garage (e.g. what the Tesla indicates in the logging).
For just logging, there are already many solutions, like TeslaFi or TeslaScope. These give great insight in charging, driving tracks, speeds, consumption, battery etc. It would be lots of work trying to rebuild that.maloesa wrote: ↑Tuesday 07 April 2020 11:35 I really like the new Tesla hardware extension! Thanks for that!
One feature I would like to see is some kind of track administration. Don't need it for my taxes but would like to have some insights on the tracks with data like starting point, end point, starting time, end time (duration), km's, energy used.
Keep up the good work!
Hi! Glad you appreciate the module! Regarding your problem: Is your car detected to be home when you are charging? The module can only detect that you are charging and keep the car awake when it’s already awake AND home. If the car is asleep, a charging cannot be detected (unless it wakes up). In case you charge while not at home, the update is still only every 20 minutes (if not asleep). Home detection is important here, so please check the log.nigels0 wrote: ↑Friday 10 April 2020 2:02 Hi,
Just got a model 3 and this was just what I was looking for!
I have one issue though; the car is being charged (via a mains cable, not a charger) and the car will not wake up to respond to status requests (I have the time set to 20 mins for when the car is away from home and not charging). This seems different to the wiki.
Secondly, could there be an option to reduce the amount of messages going into the log? It’s difficult to find other things as this is so wordy. Maybe a configurable option on the hardware definition?
Regards

Great work on the Tesla Hardware module. Any idea when you'll have time to code the "setting of the charge limit" ?
We have solar panels and when the Powerwalls have been filled I'd like to set the charge limit on the car (currently not possible) and start the car charging (possible now).
Or some workaround to do that at the moment would be great too.
Well done and thanks again for your hard work !!!

I agree, this goes beyond the scope of this module in domoticz context. There are probably wonderful other apps available for this!Bikey wrote: ↑Friday 10 April 2020 16:05For just logging, there are already many solutions, like TeslaFi or TeslaScope.

I did that. Not sure if it’s 100 meters but it’s a range around the domoticz location.oliviers wrote: ↑Monday 06 April 2020 20:36Perhaps you could consider that if the Tesla is less than xx (xx= 100?) meters away from the Domoticz location, it is home ???MrHobbes74 wrote: ↑Monday 06 April 2020 19:43 The location problem you can solve by changing the location in Domoticz settings to the location in your garage (e.g. what the Tesla indicates in the logging).
OK, thanks. I will do that.MrHobbes74 wrote: ↑Sunday 12 April 2020 15:59 I did that. Not sure if it’s 100 meters but it’s a range around the domoticz location.
But still the easiest is to park the car home, get the location from the logging, and set that as home location in Domoticz. It solves all problems
By the way: a workaround could be that you charge only a max amount of time. You can set a fixed charge limit in the Tesla app, and if you can figure out the charge rate from your batteries, and when the power walls are full, charge for a fixed set of hours (via a dzVents script), or until the fixed charge limit is reached.MrHobbes74 wrote: ↑Sunday 12 April 2020 15:52Hi!

I’m currently working on the option to set a charge limit.
Can’t tell when it’s finished, it’s not that straightforward with the available device templates that are available in domoticz.
Hopefully there will be an update soon!
To figure out what I really need to make, I have some questions about what you want to do with the charge limit. I could only understand you want to set it to 100% (to make fully use of the sun when your powerwalls are full). Is that correct? Or do you want to choose between a range of 50-100%? Usually the charge limit is set to 90% (default value). If you want to charge less, you can write a script to stop charging when your desired percentage is reached. Only if you want to charge more, you would need to be able to set it to max.MrHobbes74 wrote: ↑Sunday 12 April 2020 18:12By the way: a workaround could be that you charge only a max amount of time.
