V. 1.8.1 with a fix to handle rate limit errors from the Tesla API.

Thanks, I’ve installed it. However several cards continue to give the same error ( example: is charging on?, Steering wheel heating on, Sear heating for driver to low) ---

I have to say that the error is not sistematic. Sometime the card works. Is it possibile that I have too many requests (flows) that work in the same time. ---

You will get this message if the Tesla API reports that there are too many requests in a given time range. You should try to avoid calling the flow too often, or add a delay of 2 - 3 seconds before “Is charging on” ---

I made the chages. I have a flow that update the maximum charge power (Amps) every 4 sec, in relation to the house current assorbtion. So this was continuing interfering with other flows. So I’ve introduced a stop to this flow, when the others run. It’s seems it works. ---

Testing now! The new version hasn’t failed yet, so I’m very very happy/satisfied🙂 But I’ll just test for a few more days before you get the final verdict HI Søren Rasmussen ---

Testing: The new test version solves the task 100%. I thank you many many times. I use the app to minimize the difference between my surplus production from solar cells and charging my Tesla The new “API rate Limet” error can be handled, but is a bit unfortunate as it counteracts the equalization of the effects. So if possible a smaller “rate Limet” time would be desired. But again, THANK YOU ---

Hi, Thanks for this very good app! I have a request about " \* Is at location (Location)" card. This card is a strict card. If the card isn’t at this precise location, it doesn’t run. At work, my car isn’t at the same place at all time, but frequently 2 or 3 meters around. Do you think it’s possible to add a distance tolerance, to be sure to declare the right location? Thanks a lot 🙂 ---

When polling #battery, does it read from last fetched stored data (as per interval) or it reads from vehicle directly each time when accessed ? Similar question for AND condition “Charging On” when accessing thisdoes it check real-time with car or its kind of hook/trigger as WHEN “Charging started” “Charging Stopped” “Vehicle came home”. Asking if frequent polling of #battery or using AND “Charging on” wakes up the car or not. I am using this App to show charging progress on LaMetric Time Clock and when finished announce finish & status on Alexa. I have noticed quite some drain on vehicle’s battery even with data fetching period 3 hours so would like to confirm it was because of polling #battery every 5 minutes. (Maybe #battery\_fetched might be a good feature if so).
