A new version of this app has been deployed. It supports Window Venting, Charge Port Control and Homelink Control. New commands: vent windows close windows open charge port close charge port trigger homelink activate homelink
Yeahh!!!! Closing windows works from either venting or full opened position (2017 AP2 MCU1 X) - Thank you!
Is it possible to add these new commands to the first page of this thread? Would be helpful for newcomers.
Not after a very short "time to fix some typos" window. I think the only exception to that is if the OP is a "Wiki" post, but I'm not certain about the details about doing that, or whether a normal OP can be converted into one.
I see that your Amazon Hi Gol4, I see that your Amazon Alexa skill is now called My Tesla and is Tesla exclusive where as EV Car is now going to work with all other brands of EV, is that correct? Is this going to happen to the Google Home ‘action’ or whatever a Google call skills? Thank you!
Right now Google Home action and the two Alexa skills (EV Car and My Tesla) all do the exact same thing. The original idea was to have EV car branch off to handle other connected vehicles but I have no immediate plans to do that right now.
I get "Isn't supported on this device". Managed to link it via the web though... just can't seem to use it. Is this an iPhone issue or a Canada issue? edit: nevermind, works via the assistant app not the google home app. Still trying to understand how this thing works!
It's ok, but not great.. I tried to switch cars and it thinks my S is a 3. I tried to open my car and opened the trunk instead.
@Gol4 - thanks again for this work - better still is there a way you can get Google Assistant to list the available commands on the phone? Sure would help my iffy memory. Thanks.
for those less familiar with Google Assistant and looking to change the name of "EV car" - Google has now moved on from "Shortcuts" to "Routines" goto your Google Home app; tap on your user icon (Letter in Circle) top right of screen tap on "Assistant settings" from the menu tap on Assistant scroll down to Routines tap on "+ Add a Routine" Tap on "Add Commands (required) >" example you could change "EV Car" to "your cars name" or add a routine "Get car ready" with a sequence of commands to warm it up, set the seat temps, open the garage door etc .. have fun
You can say "Ask EV Car for help" . That will list out most basic commands you use. This direct URL to the Actions Directory Listing display all commands: https://assistant.google.com/services/a/uid/000000196c7e079e?hl=en
The Action Directory Listing doesn't show the latest added commands, like trunk, window, chargeport and homelink features.
Great app! I have a number of routines setup now Is "unlock charge port" also included? I tried the command and it just says "charging cable connected". I would be really useful to have this as I find it a pain to get my phone out to unlock when removing my charger cable. Thanks.
Just set up a bunch of custom routines. Works great! Is there a way to open/close sunroof? How about turn seats on/off besides using the climate on/off option? Thanks for the great interface to Google Home!
Wondering if there is any update on this issue? EV Car is great...if the car is awake...otherwise I have to get into the Tesla app to wake my car first, which defeats the purpose of what I am trying to do: "Okay Google, get ready to leave" would give me state of charge and turn on HVAC. I tried issuing a dummy command at the beginning, then go off and do some extra stuff like tell me the weather, tell me about my commute, tell me a joke and then try the range and HVAC commands, but the car is still not awake, even though from the Tesla app the car wakes up in just a few seconds. Does the count to 100 trick actually work? Does it eventually wake up on its own? Architecturally, can EV Car add a command to "wake up my car" and then keep re-checking the car for wake status in a loop (until a really large number of attempts were unsuccessful)? Is this actually a Tesla API bug? I wonder why the app works well, but 3rd party apps wouldn't. I thought 3rd party apps were basically just copying the Tesla app API calls. Not to sound like a whiner on my first post in this thread, so I'll close with my thanks for a really great job with this. When the car is awake and EV Car works, it is marvelous. So thank you!
Can you turn seat heating on/off? How about sending a destination to EV Car? @Navigate to Leeds Supercharger” for example.
