Zero emissions. Zero compromises Log your vehicle data, air conditioning before driving or optimize charging… Countless ways to make your Tesla even smarter and integrate it into your smart home. [large] [image] Tesla Car & Energy | Homey Zero emissions. Zero compromises. Preconditions This app is using the Tesla Fleet-API. This API has a pricing based on usage. You get 10$ free for every month and if you need more data usage, you can add a payment to cover your costs. To use this API, you need a Tesla developer account. You can find instructions on my Blog or a short version in the car’s pair view. [image] Tesla: Nutzung der Fleet-API mit eigenem Entwickler-Konto – Ronny Winkler How to start? This app offers several devices you can add. Start with the car device. This connects to your car and allows some central functions to be controlled. Then add devices for special purposes you want to control like battery/charging, climate or location. [grafik] Every device has its own set of sensors, controls and flows. First add a car device. The pair view gives you some instructions how to create a Tesla deleoper account and it will request the client_id and client_secret from your Tesla app. [Post 2025_02_07 14] [Post 2025_02_07 15] Then you have to authenticate with your tesla account. Set set the scopes, the app should be able to use (select all as default). [HomeyPro_Tesla_AddDevice03] [HomeyPro_Tesla_AddDevice08] After adding the car to Homey, continue the pair view and register the app in your car (if you want to send commands). Klick the button to start the app registration. The link opens in Tesla app. If it’s opened in the browser, please scroll up and open it in the app. [Post 2025_02_07 16] [HomeyPro_Tesla_AddDevice07] [HomeyPro_Tesla_AddDevice10] [HomeyPro_Tesla_AddDevice09] Bluetooth LE support The app suports Bluetooth LE access (from version 3.0.0). You need a good BLE reception between your Homey and your car. Plase your Homey in range or use a HomeyBridge as BLE satellite with your HomeyPro 23. BLE is optional and in addition to cloud access (via FleetAPI). If BLE is activated, the app tries first to connect via BLE. If that’s not possible, the FleetAPI is used. Check my Blog for more details… [image] Tesla: Bluetooth-Verbindung – Ronny Winkler Tesla Telemetry support The app supports Tesla Telemetry (from version 4.0.0). Using Telemetry, you can get realtime data from your car. As a prerequisitee, the app must be added as car key. Then you can just switch on Telemetry in car device settings. If activated, the car sends its updates in realtime to the Telemetry server that is provided by me as developer. Your Homey connects to the Telemetry server and gets forwarded the realtime updates, Another advantage is that API usage becomes cheaper because you can use much more Telemetry messages than data requests, If Telemetry is on, you can deactivate data polling in car device settings. Check my Blog for more details… [image] Tesla: Fleet-Telemetry – Ronny Winkler Additional infomation On my website you can find additional information. Additional information will be added as Blog posts. [grafik] https://rwdevelopment.de I will provide basic information about the app and the api (technology and security). And in the blog I plan to show use cases and examples. There you can register for a newsletter to get updated when a new blog post is published. And you can ask for further blog posts about examples, HowTo’s and technical insights What API is used? This app uses the Tesla Fleet API. Details... You authenticate with your Tesla account (oAuth) and allow the app to connect to your car. In addition you have to register the app in your car (like a key card) to allow the app to send commands. Vehicle data is determined using interval retrievals. These request won’t wake up the car. But if the car is asleep or offline, the app won’t get updated data. To control you car, commands are sent. There are two variants: Fleet API: The app sends simple https requests to the Fleet-API. Pre 2021 S/X models have to use this option Tesla Vehicle Command Protocol: The app sends encrypted and signed commands to your car. If the app is registered in your car as key, these commands are allowed and processed. This allows an end-to-end encryption and security policies. You can remove app command access in car security settings or remove the app completely in your Tesla account. Dependent on your role (owner/driver) your car access could be restricted and it’s not allowed to register the app in your car. This can happen if the leasing company is the car owner. Please contact the leasing company and/or Tesla in this case. What is a Tesla Client-ID and what do I need to keep in mind? Details...

[btn_donate_LG1] [paypal-logo-png-transparent] Please use “send to friends” to avoid fees. This helps me to finance the necessary server that’s needed to provide the apps public key and the proxy server that is used for the command API. Thanks.

New test version 1.7.0: Added several changes to optimize API usage. In addition to the rate limit, Tesla changed the reported car state. Instead of asleep/offline/online state, only offline/online is reported now. As result, the app requestes car data also for offline state (which was useful before because offline state was only used for missing LTE reception). Now, the app does not request car data during offline state. This prevents a lot of API requests. Based on the daily car usage, you can lower the online interval. Perhaps it will work with 1min interval because you won’t use the car for 1/5 of the day. The car device is showing “rate limit” as state in case the car is online but Tesla is blocking car access. The car settings page is showing some details like time until rate limit is reset. In addition you can check insights for API usage counter. More details you can find at: [image] Tesla: Rate Limit – Ronny Winkler

Different profiles in the car might indeed be the cause. I’ll need to check the settings of my wife’s profile, probably at psi :slight_smile:

[image] RonnyW: car settings page is showing some I use this app also on my Home Assistant. [image] GitHub - teslamotors/vehicle-command Contribute to teslamotors/vehicle-command development by creating an account on GitHub. Does it count up? Ore is the polling sepperated and doesnt it matter?

No one knows :man_shrugging: It can be based on the VIN/car. Or it can be baded on VIN & app client ID. You can only try.

It‘s because of the different profiles, same by me, my wife has psi💁🏻♂️

http-500 is something different. I think LTE is offline while trying to send commands. That’s not related to rate limit error.

Hmm, the vehicle is in front of my door. So it has WiFi and LTE (no subscription). In the morning it works well, but at some point it stops working. Without changing anything, it works again the next day. Additionally, I can see all the data (live) in the Tesla app. Would you like me to send you a log file or something?

If it happens again, you can send a diagnostics report. But I think I won’t see more than the http error. Did it happen for a data request or a command?

A command, got it a few days earlier also… I think it is a returning error (for me) 882154b0-6ec1-4288-a603-d893f2bd742d
