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.
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.
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.
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://192.168.1.201/api/1/version)
