I see that's useful when FSD is up and running but until then, why if you could say the same command as get in the car? Or share map location or address from the phone to to your car...
I’m not sure I understand your reply. Not sure what FSD has got to do with it. I’m off on a trip in the morning. I have a google home device next to my bed. It’s easier to send the destination with my voice than opening google maps, searching for the destination and then sharing it to the car.
@Gol4 Think I’ve found a U.K. bug. When I ask the car for the range the figure given by EV Car is different to the Tesla or other apps. Here in the U.K. we use “ideal” range. On the screenshot below that is 209 miles yet EV car is quoting 261 miles when asked.
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but, how can you distinguish voice commands if you have 2 Teslas? I use iphone and google home. Thanks
Yes you are right. If your Display setting is set to "Ideal" instead of "Rated", we should display the corresponding value (which is available in the API). This will be part of the next update. Thanks.
1. I don't believe controlling seat heaters is available via the APIs 2. It might be possible. This is a relatively new API and I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Will try it out.
The basic problem is that I don't have access to a Model 3 to test this out on I see a connect issue on my Model X sometimes but it almost always works when I try it again right away. Actually the first thing this app does is send a "Wake" command to the Tesla. Google imposes a 5 second limit to return a result for a command so it cant just wait forever for the car to wake up.
Thanks for the response. Is there any way I can help you with this quandary? By the way, I did try the "Count to 100" trick and even that is not long enough for the Model 3 to wake up. I get the sense it will never wake up with whatever API calls you are using. It's surprising to me that the Model 3 would have a different "wake" command than the Model X (and S?), but I guess it is what it is. Is the API you are using a public one? Can you point me to it so I can experiment? Is it possible for you to use my car for you to experiment with (when it's not being used of course)?
This change is in now. If the car display setting is said to Ideal instead of Rated, the spoken ranges will show appropriate value.
Thanks for your offer. Let me setup a separate web app where there are no timeout limits and we can try to analyze the logs and figure out whats going on. Will set up a private conversation when its ready (probably next day or two). Thanks.
Hi there all, and first of all thanks a lot Gol4 for this great google action. I have a problem to set all foe an italian language. I just make some routines but I don't know what to use in the comand field. I try to add the english language to my google assistant and insert "Talk to EV car" command in english ... but it give me the search results. The strange thinks is that if I speek to assistant mic: "Talk to EV car" it's work. I also unlinked and relinked the action and reboot the phone... Anybody can tell me please what can I try in order to make it work please ? Thanks in advance Denis
When you are creating a routine, you want to use the phrase "Ask EV car <command>" or "Tell EV car to <command>". Using "Talk to EV car" puts you into an interactive mode with EV car, whereas "Ask EV car" and "Tell EV car to" will execute the command you want directly.
So I add again the english language to the google assistant and when I start assistance and I speek "Tell EV car to unlock the car" it's work. But when I make a routine with command "Tell EV car to unlock the car" it give me the web search It's like if I do it in interactive recognize the english language and if I do it in the routine it want italian language. I don't know how to make the routine work please Thanks a lot for the help Denis
Your explanation sounds feasible. Unfortunately that sounds like it might be an issue with the Google Assistant's way of working.
I'm using iOS and this is the first time I'm using my Google Home Mini to do anything other than telling the time - but I can't seem to follow the instructions. They are either old or not suitable to iOS.. can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Since changing from an S to a 3 EV Car fails many times when trying to connect to my car unless I wake it first. Would appear the 3 is a deeper sleeper than the S
Yes, I have been doing some testing with @Gol4 and we are reaching the same conclusion. I don't want to speak for him, but we have also determined that simple "status" commands won't trigger the car to wake up, but a "command" will. So a very effective way to wake up your Model 3 with EV Car is to: "Ask EV car to flash my lights" and then your next command should work.
