Vacation Mode
The site should have a Vacation Mode to minimize vampire drain when the vehicle will not be in operation for any specified period of time. The hope will be that TeslaFi would only check the car periodically to allow it to sleep as much as possible while hopefully preventing range loss.
Possible options:
- Simple on/off toggle
- Users may accidentally forget to turn Vacation Mode off so perhaps an email reminder each day ("hey, your TeslaFi account is set to Vacation Mode, so you won't get any recorded drives").
- Schedule via dates and/or times (e.g. November 1 2pm until November 8 10am)
- This seems like the most direct and best method to handle this feature.
The only potential issue is how charging would work. If the Tesla API indicates scheduled charging, perhaps TeslaFi can resume polling at the start of that time to capture charging data.
API Endpoints for Drives and Charges
Create API endpoints to access Drives and Charges instead of having to export to CSV.
Custom Location Icons
Can you add a way to enter a URL to an image for a location icon?
Ability to search for drives From [Place1] to [Place2]
It would be handy to have the ability to search for drives from 1 location to another location. For instance, to easily get a report of all my Home to Work drives, or Work to Home, or...
Missing TeslaFi Commands via API
Would it be possible to add the following commands to TeslaFi which could then be triggered via the TeslaFi API?
* Actuate Frunk
* Actuate Trunk
* Turn On Climate and allow to set cabin temperature to a specific value
* Turn On A Specific Seat Heater w/ ability to set heat level
* Open & Close Windows
* Trigger HomeLink
Thanks to Tesla's recent MFA-related API changes I would much prefer to have my iOS Shortcuts point directly at TeslaFi since you are already keeping track of vehicle wake state and have the appropriate wake logic built into your API.
Thanks,
Dan
Drives per Driver/Profile
I would like to see the possibility, drive summary and single drives to have the driver or profile in the name. with this it would be possible to select all drive done by my son ond to charge him ;-)
Responsive Web Design
I don‘t need an app necessarily, but a more responsive web design, would be tremendously helpfull.
A few tweaks of html and css are far less effort than an App and good responsive Web design should be the standard these days.
I think you could improve the user experience on mobile devices dramaticly with just a few hours/days of work.
Infer missing drives/charges
As you know, sometimes a drive or a charge is missed due to comm failure with the car (and maybe other reasons). It seems to be it would be possible to generate drive or charge records that approximate what was missed.
For example, my car was at the Service center. For the period of time in question, there was a LONG idle, but here is how it looked.
Idle 2047 | Preconditioning | Battery | Address | Time | Started | Ended | Starting Range | Ending Range | Range Loss | kWh Loss | Delete |
57 >#/td### | Tesla Service Center | 17 Hours 6 Minutes | 5:03 PM | 10:10 AM | 141.51 | 174.47 | -32.96 | -9.15 |
While perfect accuracy is impossible, one could infer from this that at least 9.15kWh were added in a 'hidden' charge. Breaking it out as a charge would be much more accurate.
I have also had drives go missing. These can be detected by the end of a drive being at a different location than the beginning of the next drive.
Obviously these would be approximations, and would be missing much of the detail of a normal drive or charge, but they would help both in providing better information about what went on, and in avoiding people thinking that TeslaFi is not working correctly.
Scheduled Charging
I was using Visible Tesla on my computer and my favorite feature was to be able to control the SOC on a schedule. Here in the North East the cold weather greatly affects the regen breaking, which is about my favorite feature of the car! Anyway, with the scheduled SOC, I would set it to charge a extra 5% starting at 5am, that way the battery would warm up by 5:30 when I left and my regen breaking was much better for my ride to work.
So, it looks like teslafi had no control feature... :( So, my idea would be to add scheduling to it if it is added.
