Tesla Motors Club

Hello all!

I am trying to integrate my Modbus charger, Octopus Energy and Tesla API to charge at best time.

I've only been using Node-Red for a month and not a developer so surprised how far I'm getting!

I have the charger integrated. able to get best charging times from Octopus API and using Node-Red-contrib-Tesla I can see vehicle data but I've not quite got the logic right to avoid vampire drain.

Does anyone have flows they can share on how they implemented anti-vampire measures?

I have most of the not waking vehicle up bit working based on checking if vehicle is online and outside temperature is not a number- the main thing I'm struggling with is how to watch for the vehicle waking so I know I can change from vehicle "offline" query to a full all data query.
It should be simple- but in these things so am I!

Part of the reason is I did use TeslaFi, but it doesn't have capability to feed in actually half hourly electricity prices to work out how much a charge actually cost. Later stage...
