More 'You may need to restart the vehicles computer and make sure there is internet connectivity' messages recently.

splee 3 years ago updated by dEEt 10 months ago 10

I used to get this message occasionally, but recently I now get 2-3 of these messages EACH day. This happens when the car is parked in  the garage under wifi connectivity. After I get this message, if I connect via the Tesla app, it connects quickly with no issue at all. Has something changed in the API that is causing Teslafi to detect this condition more often? Nothing has changed in my environment and the car has been sleeping nicely without these messages in the past.

Hi,

There is a note under the offline alert settings:

Please note some firmware versions on vehicles report the car as 'offline' when the vehicle is actually sleeping and there may not be an issue with connectivity to the Tesla API.

You can check 'show offline as asleep' in sleep settings->advanced section as well to consider offline as asleep.

Free home charging with excess solar charge option

KarlW 3 years ago 0

I charge my car at home with excess solar during the day as often as I can as it is free. There is currently a ‘Travel Free’ option but no ‘Home Solar Free’ option for these charges. Can we get a new Home Solar Free option added? Thanks.

Charger not plugged in notification

It would be helpful to receive a notification if between a set time and scheduled charge time the charger is not plugged in. Maybe even by tagged locations?

API Request Frequency

rguptaca 3 years ago updated by odrotbohm 8 months ago 1

1st Thank you so much for implementing the API.

Some thoughts & requests.

  • Please document how long the lock out period is (code 1015)
  • Maybe allow "developer mode" for a limited time and number of times
  • Option to pay/temporarily pay for higher frequency and more API requests

Separate Winter/Summer Time of Use Rates

rguptaca 3 years ago updated by AZTech 3 years ago 1

In Ontario we have different low, mid, peak use times for winter vs. summer. The rates are also different. Could we please have the option to set the rates depending on dates. 
- absolute dates, recurring 

- relative dates (3rd Sunday of September)

Total Charging cost based on kWh added, not kWh used ?

rhmbobMY 3 years ago updated by anonymous 3 years ago 1

I have seen this question asked, but I didn’t see any answer on any of the threads where it was asked.

For HOME charging, the Total Charging Cost seems to be based on the kWh added to the battery, not the kWh used by the charger ….   This seems like a flawed calculation.

I have a v3 wall connector, and I can see the watts used by the charger through the API, and it matches almost exactly (within 1 kWh over the course of a month) to the “kWh used” as reported by TeslaFi.

My electric bill will reflect the kWh used, not the kWh added - so in my mind, TeslaFi should change the logic.   Otherwise all of the data collection is for nothing, considering that the financial calculation is off by ~25%.   

Knowing how much electricity my car theoretically would have consumed under ideal conditions without any losses is not a valuable thing to know ….   Knowing how much money I actually spent on electricity for my car is in fact exactly why I am using TeslaFi - and now it turns out this isn’t even what it is telling me.

Calendar View - request to show kWh used per day (month view)

Fish 4 years ago updated by tomaaa 2 years ago 1

This would be more useful to me than Wh/km. Or the converted $ amount.

Charging current adjust via Teslafi

raine jurva@gmail com 4 years ago updated by James 3 years ago 1

Now when Tesla enables feature to change charging current in 2021.36 release, will this be available in Teslafi also? This would allow user to adjust charging to match solar panel output=when home, charge 5 amps in daytime etc.

Answer
James 3 years ago

This is available in the TeslaFi API as well as live controls.
