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...

I have gotten mine going. It's working well enough for what we want it to do. The Sense Energy Monitor looks VERY cool. I considered getting it but decided it was overkill for what we needed. But it's very tempting. Happy to engage and exchange ideas.

I'm interested in understanding this scheduled charging scenario more - outside what the app can currently do. I'm in 1000% agreement the implementation in the app is very very bad. Highly confusing. What are the "use cases" folks wish were in the app but aren't? I've written a Python...

Well - after learning that the left click-wheel button controls media when the phone is connected via BT I now feel better about "becoming one" with my phone in the Tesla environment: I launch Spotify from my phone when initiating the drive and I can pause, skip as needed. Even better, I get my...

Excellent! It didn't even occur to me to try that. Thanks!

* Today I was listening to Audible. Wanted to pause it. Only way to do so was to look down at the phone on the wireless charging pad....way too low to be safe while driving. * Yesterday I sent a text that said "Text <my wife's name>" to the neighbor I had texted with before I got in the car...

Has anyone noticed an improvement with Phantom Braking after going to 2021.44.30.5? Confirming improvements is difficult - as I don't have (or haven't noticed) a consistent place & scenario where it has been a problem in the past. But...... I just returned from a drive in the area that...

I'm 60 and have been in high tech my whole life/career. I LOATHE Apple because of its closed structure. While I acknowledge Apple hardware is "better" hardware than their competitors, I never felt that hardware advantage was worth the cost of going to such a closed and...

We've only had ours a few weeks and it has changed us on multiple levels. From a basic transportation perspective: About a year-and-a-half ago my wife and I went to one car. Now our one car is a Model Y. Since we're trying to power the car as much from our solar as possible, we had to...

We just finished a 2,900 mi trip in our month-old Model Y. I almost posted something similar - but in my case it would have been about the incredulousness of not having Android Auto. But.... I can see how the system as implemented is "better". BUT......... The hands-free texting is horrible...

The code and documentation are available on GitHub: https://github.com/Haselmaier/Suncatcher

We've had our (2022) Model Y for a month. We just finished a 10 day, 2,900 mi road trip. The Phantom Braking issue is a HUGE disappointment to me. There are so so SO many things Tesla has gotten right......I can't believe such a serious issue has gone on for so long - both from a customer...

We haven't named it, but Donald Fagen (Steely Dan being my favorite band) did a solo album called Kamakiriad. The concept represented in the songs is that the narrator's new car, a Kamakiri, is taken on an adventure. An adventure in a Kamakiri is a Kamakiriad. Fagen has said the idea was to...

[Apologies if this has been covered previously. My searches didn't yield this topic getting too much discussion.] My wife and I took delivery of a Model Y almost 2 weeks ago. We want to charge based on "excess" solar coming off the panels - power that under normal circumstances would go back to...

Thanks! I was waiting 5 mins between calls and it was still bombing at unpredictable times - sometimes on the wakeup call and sometimes on the get_vehicle_data. I found the python "try:except" construct and it appears to be catching the timeout error. Thanks again!

I've written a program to control battery charging based on solar output. I'm using teslapy. Overall it's working well - but the code is bombing unpredictably based on various specific errors. Sometimes it's an Error 408. Sometimes it's a timeout. I think another time I got a "vehicle...

Thanks!

I've written a small python program that periodically 1/ looks at our electric meter to see if we're sending power (from our solar panels) to the grid or pulling from the grid and then 2/ adjusting Tesla charging (either starting charging, stopping charging, or changing amperage) so we minimize...

Thanks. It looks like they have some really cool stuff. It's looking like I'll be able to put something together with things I already have. It's taking some time figuring out how the API works. However tonight I was able to get a "Hello World" program running. I guess in the car world that...

Took delivery last night. SLIGHT driver door misalignment. Almost certainly wouldn't have noticed it had I not been on this forum. :) No plans to even raise it as an issue -it's that minor. Drove it 140 miles today - mostly highway. Wonderful. The regenerative braking felt (and still...

We picked up our MY last night. USB ports were there.

Delivery scheduled for Dec 10.

Order Date: Oct 18, 2021; EDD Mar'21 Nov 24: EDD changed to Dec 4-14 Dec 2: Delivery scheduled for Dec 10 in Loveland.

Last week my EDD went from Mar'22 to Dec 5-14 ('21). I was checking the app - probably the 15th time that day - expecting no change in EDD. The app said something like (very roughly.....I was so excited I didn't pay much attention LOL) "Your action is required in your account. Please check...

Wow. That's amazing. I had no idea this product existed. Will the MyQ open the door on proximity detection? I read it will close it automatically when you leave (geofencing) but I haven't found confirmation it can open it. I did find there's an IFTTT integration.....so maybe use that to...

[Apologies if this has been covered before. I searched and couldn't find anything....] Has anyone experimented with - or thought about - creating a homegrown automatic garage door opener? At first I thought I could have a little program looking for the Tesla to show up on the network - then...

Order date Oct 18. Yesterday EDD moved from March'22 to Dec 4-14. VIN received. Pickup in Loveland.

Order Date: Oct 18 Since the order date EDD has been Mar 4 - Apr 1. Got the VIN today. New EDD is Dec 4 - Dec 14. :oops:

Waiting......waiting......waiting..... Details in sig.

You check it daily? I'd label you as "Not Very Enthusiastic" - a long ways from "Unhealthy". For me: I'm checking multiple times per day - easily. I keep expecting some sort of change - given some of the reports by others recently.

I'm so stoked to hear charging rate appears to be showing up in the API. I just ordered a Model Y a couple of weeks ago. Delivery is currently Mar'22. :( But....that hasn't stopped me from thinking about an automated charging solution that coordinates charging with solar panel output. I...

MYLR; Silver; Black Interior; Gemini Wheels; FSD Order date: 10/18/21 EDD: Mar 04 - Apr 01

OD 10/18/21 EDD: Mar 04 - Apr 01 MYLR; Silver, Black Interior

Ah....thanks! Gotta learn to notice the naming details. Jim

Ordered a MYLR (Silver/Black) just a week ago. EDD is Mar 04 - Apr 01. :( Anyone else around these parts have an estimated delivery out that far? I'm obviously a babe-in-the-woods in this waiting-for-Tesla-delivery world. Very VERY broadly - do the EDDs tend to move around a lot as the...

In general I like having new things. I've wanted a Tesla for a long time but I haven't pushed it with my wife. What caused her to say "I'm ready to order a Tesla." (unprompted - with no badgering from me) was reading the Elon Musk book by Ashlee Vance. My wife is so impressed with Musk's...
