Recently I've lost ability to start and stop charging using TeslaPy. Has anyone else experienced this? I can interact with the car with other commands (e.g. get status, etc.). But for some reason START_CHARGE and STOP_CHARGE fail. Thought I'd check here as I continue deeper into the rabbit...

A new version of my charging program has been put on GitHub. If someone is even a little familiar with Python this could be modified to create a solution based on schedule only. If there's lots of interest in having a pure schedule-only solution - and no one wants to do it - let me know and...

Thanks for this! ^^^^^ I hadn't seen the post about TesSense. I really like the fact that uses a more mainstream piece of hardware to determine if there is excess solar being produced. (Sense, I think, has much more presence in the solar/energy monitoring space than Rainforest Automation...

I've made some changes to it to make it more efficient and reliable. I've got to clean it up and I'll put it on GitHub. I'll let you know when the new version is up there.

Yes - it is using the unofficial API. I use the API to 1/ get info on current state of the car (Is the car home? Is it plugged in? What is current battery level?). Then, based on solar panel output and house consumption (to ensure there is excess solar available) it either starts, stops or...

Thanks Randy! Your timing is perfect. There's an instance of this code running at a friend's house and it has been hanging. I've been postponing diagnosing it.....because I've been dreading trying to figure out if the problem is with my code or at the system level. You've given a solid...

At first I was wondering if setting the temperature (#2 in your sequence) also turned on climate control - and the 408 error was because climate control was by default turned on in step #2. But you say the 408 happens "sometimes" - so I'm concluding setting the temp doesn't turn on climate...

I think, but not totally sure, the API commands were changed when Rainforest went from the Eagle to the Eagle-200. I like your idea of polling for summation data. I've wondered if it would be more effective/realistic to base a car charging adjustment on something broader than ID. For example...

I did. I've gotten a program I've written to work quite well IMHO. As the sun comes up in the morning and solar is produced it starts the car charging - and charging amps increase as solar production through the day increases. As consumption in the house changes (cooking, laundry, etc.) and...

Nothing in the bucket traps (we made two). But we did get one of the little bastards in a traditional snap-trap. WHACK!

The war has been initiated.

Nice setup! Looks really great. Interesting re capture tank. We definitely don't have that. I definitely wish we had better slope out of the garage. Lack of it is probably due to construction, but we also had some vandalism before we moved in which I think impacted it. The Model Y...

This is the first winter with our Model Y. We live in northern Colorado. The car seems to capture quite a bit of snow in the wheel wells and (presumably) underneath, which then melts when parked. We're getting a lot more water on the garage floor after parking than we ever did with our ICE...

The code is on GitHub. Although it works I'm kind of embarrassed about it. As I found errors and such I fixed 'em frequently by adding additional 'if' conditions....and it has evolved to be somewhat unwieldy. I would like to do a re-implementation to see if I can make it more efficient and...

I'm using an Eagle-200 from Rainforest Automation. It connects (via Zigbee) to our electric meter. It'll give Instantaneous Demand (net flow) at the meter. We've got a Model Y Long Range. Does the Sense give you a/the net-meter view? I'd call the Eagle-200 "ok". Getting it to connect to...
