Basically, yes. You cannot communicate with a sleeping Tesla. But you can set the polling interval for the app. I’ve set it to 6hrs so my Tesla sleeps well, unless i disturb it. I use an advanced flow to turn off charging when the cable is connected and electricity price or rate is high, and to start charging when price and rate is low. ---

Thank you, do you know how to change the charger amps dynamiclly with a max also? I am trying but cant find it out, i want my hole house to draw less than 10000w. ---

Absolutely! You can do that in flow with a card from the Charge part of the Tesla app. ![Skärmavbild 2024-03-02 kl. 16.49.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/6/c60796855ceed18a27dc596c57a76cc9a6b3cccd.png) ---

But this is just setting a new 5A charge speed, do you know how to dynamicaly change it? Cant get it to work… i need a math expression to set it to max 28A which my charger can set. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/5/45fba5b20cf9a05ef7e4df77c26e31f782f36b5d.png) ---

James, it seems you end up setting the charge amps to 20 quite often in your flow, ruining the logic. Remove the yellow flow from the ”Tibber greater than 9500”. Instead, set charge amps to 20 when charging has started. However, I never got ”charging started” to trigger, so i use the wall connectors app to trigger when session current goes over 1 A. The wall connectors app is much more reliable for triggering as it doesnt rely on the car to be avake, but it’s read only, so you still need the tesla app to start and stop charging. ![IMG_0171](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/a/1abe0040372de46054f87fb7d762475edcfadf65.jpeg) I find it useful using the timeline for debugging and information messages. ---

Hi, just recently had the TWC3 installed and looking to connect it to Homey via your app. I’ve looked up the ip address in my router, but I receive a ‘Timeout after 30000ms’. Not very tech savvy here, are you able to point me in the right direction? Many thanks! ---

Hi, You can check if you have the correct IP by checking if you can connect to the charger with your browser at [http://IP-Address/api/1/version](http://IP-Address/api/1/version) ([http://192.168.1.201/api/1/version](http://192.168.1.201/api/1/version)) Cheers, Rune ---

Hey @Rune_Vaernes , Any plans to integrate your great Tesla Charger app with new Homey Energy capability? Thanks Refer my other post : [Fronius & Tesla Issues with Homey Energy - #3 by PJ-AU](https://community.homey.app/t/fronius-tesla-issues-with-homey-energy/134084/3) ---

Hi Sorry for my late response, life’s busy ☺ I’m not sure but the current v1.9.0 should support what you request. The images shows my TWC’s on the Energy page: ![IMG_1537](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/9/994fae524533b10e129e7ace751f27bdeaaeddde.png) ![IMG_1538](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/7/37c5cdb78ca4a300062004d59234b4fe5390863f.png) Cheers Rune ---

Hi, that’s the old energy view, not the new HomeyEnergy (only available on HomeyPro23). If you need some details how to adapt the app, if there is something needed, just ask. ---

Hi, Thanks for offering to help, I probably need it to implement the new energy feature, as I do not have the HomeyPro23. This seems to be a good start =\> [Energy | Homey Apps SDK](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/devices/energy#ev-chargers-1) Cheers Rune ---

Yeah, all you need is - measure\_power for current power - meter\_power for the main meter (increasing, not a daily or whatever). - device class = evcharger That should be all. So it depends if the API has a meter value or not. ---

Hi, I’ve uploaded a test [v1.10.0](https://homey.app/en-no/app/tesla.wall.connector/Tesla-Power-Connect/test/) with the suggested changes Can someone please verify if it works with HomeyPro23 Cheers, Rune ---

Hi @PJ-AU , I’ve updated the app (v1.10.0) with what I hope solves your request, as I don’t have the HomeyPro23 I can’t verify the change. Cheers, Rune ---
