I’ve written my own Android App, as scheduled charging doesn’t fit with my departure times. I tend to use “once”.
Also with EDF Go Electric and a 13A plug, off peak times don’t fit with Tesla’s view of the world which seems to be start time to 6am.
I know about TeslaFi but I don’t want all the monitoring and it’s expensive. Also Dashboard for Tesla, again expensive when I just want scheduled charging and/or pre-conditioning.
My other reservation is the security of the Tesla login token. In my App I don’t keep the email/password, but an encrypted version of the token with biometric login. This security is important, as with a token you can do anything to the car, at least for up to 45 days, so I don’t want this on third party websites with the risk of security breaches.
Of course this means that your Android phone needs to be powered on all the time and not in airplane mode when you have scheduled start/stop times.
Here are some screenshots and a video.
I’m considering adding it to my Play Store Apps, but only if people think it’s useful, so I’m looking for Beta testers to give feedback on the implementation with enhancement or changes.
At the moment I’m using Firebase App Distribution for the free Beta, but could do a closed Beta on the Play Store if there is a demand for this.
Of course if no one is interested, then it’s an App for me… however send me a message with your Android device Gmail if you want to try it out.
