Control Tesla via API 🚗

Feature requests
1

Hi everyone, I’m posting here an integration request that seems possible to me, although I don’t have the skills: controlling certain commands and retrieving information from a Tesla vehicle.

Today I can retrieve information via Teslafi, Node-RED and MQTT devices but it’s not optimal, with a subscription cost (Teslafi) and a usage limit (number of requests). I have read a few pages about API configurations but I don’t understand them.
My goal is to receive important alerts and control charging based on the solar panels.
If anyone is interested in developing…
Thank you for your help.

Hi @tiboys,

For the control side, I personally opted to buy Tessie — I’m in the process of setting it up via Node-RED to control charging based on the home’s overall consumption (because of the heat pump).
Unfortunately, since the Tesla API is no longer open, I think it’s the only option for the control side.

Hi, teslafi works but I’m limited in the number of requests per month and I quickly exceed the limit with a regular ping to adjust charging.
My brother gave me this but I haven’t really looked at it yet and I’m not sure I have the necessary skills:
For Tesla I found this module: GitHub - alandtse/tesla: Tesla custom integration for Home Assistant. This requires a refresh token be generated by third-party apps to login.

Apparently another one is needed now: GitHub - llamafilm/tesla-http-proxy-addon: Tesla HTTP Proxy Add-on for Home Assistant
