This would be awesome! š
I created an issue on GitHub as well, also with a link to TeslaMate that currently has this information available. Couldnāt find any information in the Tesla Documentation thoughā¦ but it probably is somewhere.

**For details please check the API docs which command count to which rate limit.**
See API docs:
[https://developer.tesla.com/docs/fleet-api/endpoints/vehicle-commands](https://developer.tesla.com/docs/fleet-api/endpoints/vehicle-commands)
Example:
Even really simple commands like open charge port is a charge command nowā¦
But set charge amps ist still a standard command.
**Current charge commands are:**
- open/close charge port
- start/stop charge
- schedule charging
- set charge limit

New **test version 1.9.6** :
- added **counter for charge commands** to car device (capability and flow trigger)
- added **charge command rate limit details** in car device settings
This update splits the commands into standard commands and charge commands.
There is now a counter and flow trigger for both.
And in car device settings the rate limit is shown for both, too.
Reason: You can hit a rate limti for charge commands while other commands are still possible.
If you get rate limit errors, you can now check in device settings what limit is affected and how many commands were sent.
I coulnāt test finally. So if you get a rate limit, please check if the device settings is showing the details and report not. Thanks.

Iām a bit confused, what are the APIs for now. The firs are the 5 charging commands

For others I add the english screenshots, too.
1. Tesla API = reading car data. The limit is 300 requests/day:
2. Command API = sending commands to the car. Limit is 50 commands/day
3. Charge commands API = sending charge commands top the car. Limit is 5 commands/day
There is also a new wake command limit (15 request/day), but this is not added yet.
It is becoming a bit confusingā¦

Ups, itās a syntax error in the app. I think it prevents sending commands now. I can check it this afternoon. Can you revert to live version in the meantime?

hi all,
Iād like to have a flow that opens the frunk when I am near my Tesla / opening the door while the car has been charging and itās fully charged. (so I can store away the charging cable in my frunk more quickly).
However, when I test this flow, see attached, itās giving me a orange error symbol. Anyone who knows why, perhaps @RonnyW ?
Oh, and ideally I would also like to unlock the charging cable so I can easily pull it out of the carā¦ Is this also doable in the same flow?

Are you sure the charging is completed (charging limit reached and charging stopped)?
If this condition is false, tha charging state is different. You can check the battery device for the current state.
The battery device has a switch to open/close the port.
And there is a button to unlock if itās open (technically itās an open command while port is already open - same like the unlock button in Tesla app).
Yellow=open/close, Red=unlock
w
There are flows for both. For unlock use the first one in the list.
Sorry, have currently only german screenshots š

Ah thank you @RonnyW ! This is more clear now.
One additional question: what exactly is the āUser Detected As Presentā IF-card in your Tesla-app? How is this user presence detected? Is this when your phone is close enough to your car? Or is it when you open your car door? Or even when the inside camera detects a human?

How exactly do you install the widget? Long-pressing the Homey app-icon on my phone only allows me to install one of my āFavoriteā flows but doesnāt show the option to install your Tesla widget. Am I overlooking something?

This will only work if the car is awake and the app is polling car state.
That means, you have to wake up the car (open door) and the. the car detects your phone as car key. In this case, āyou are presentā as valid user. Technically it means, your car key is present.
But the flow trigger will just start with the next polling. So it depends on your polling interval. You shouldnāt expect an instand flow start directly after open the door.
When leaving the car itās the same. Your car key is gone and after next polling the app knows that no user is present (as long as the car is awake).

So then I should decrease the āoffline polling intervalā to e.g. 1 minute instead of the default 10 minutes?
Of will I drain the car battery like crazy, then?

The offline interval can be set to same interval like online interval.
After adding the rate limit handling, the app checks first the ālast known stateā and requests the car only is itās online.
