Tesla has pulled the plug on the old authentication method. Tesla Smart Charger and the Homey Tesla app does no longer update data from the car.

But isn’t the Tesla kept awake all the time? Even when he’s standing?

When you are driving, yes, it’s alive 🙂

When parked, it falls asleep after 10 minutes I think. If the “data fetch interval” is 10 minutes or lower, the Tesla will be awake all the time, and that will drain the battery.

You can use flows to set the “data fetch interval”.

I will update the Tesla Smart Charger app in a couple of days so it will support the new authentication system. This first fix will not support MFA.

Select Device settings → Maintenance Actions → Repair to repair…

Hello, thanks for the update 🙂 But if I understand well, we need to disable the MFA?  
Thanks

OK, thanks for the feedback. I will investigate.

You can try logging in without MFA, if you want.
