Storm watch opt-out [New feature in Tesla App]

[garrett5688]

Added in most recent app update. Tesla read my mind. Anyone have a screenshot of what the opt out notification looks like?

Really liking all the app functionality improvements for Tesla energy over the last 18 months.

You just toggle it off

Also, to OP, this functionality has been in the Tesla app since my Powerwalls were installed 3 years ago. It's definitely not new to 4.5.0 or whatever the latest app is. (How well it actually worked has varied somewhat, but over the past year or so it's been fairly responsive and correct.)

Maybe I’m misinterpreting the notes? I understand how to turn on and off storm watch… this update makes it sound like individual events can be opted out

Isn’t this new?

I am on the older version. Let me update and find out.

ETA: Just updated. The UI on the settings page is different. Maybe you no longer will have to go to settings to toggle off; you can do it directly from the homepage?

I know they changed some of the SW events

Storm Watch Weather Events Change

I noticed that Tesla recently updated their weather events that trigger SW. Gone: Wind (advisory) Added: Flood (watch or warning) Flash flood (warning) Coastal flood (warning) Lakeshore flood (warning) The current list The old list

Also added some troubleshooting steps when requesting support. Good move, hopefully will reduce the case load so support can work on other issues a simple restart may not fix.

What is new is the ability to "tap the banner on the home screen to opt out of the current event". Previously, if you wanted to do that, you just went to the stormwatch setting and toggled it off.

So, apparently now, you can toggle off "that event", by tapping the banner, but you could toggle it off before so its not some huge increase in functionality for this.

I do like the settings page changes though, its the same basic stuff, just organized a bit different.

The opt-out modal looks like this during a storm. This is brand new with app version 4.7, and like many app updates, will roll out slowly.

I like the reorganization of the settings...it's less intimidating than what we had before. Also, I don't have to worry about accidentally changing a setting as I'm scrolling up and down a long list of settings.

I like it, that IS different, and pretty cool! I was always cross referencing from a weather app, to see why stormwatch triggered, and if I wanted to let it charge or not.

Thanks for sharing!

Looks interesting, but my app hasn't updated yet. Wish there was a setting option to do an update

Updates are controlled by the phone OS, not the app. You can get the update by going to your app store.

They still haven't updated the main Energy Screen to update the white rectangles for each Powerwall you have. And they don't have a graphic of a homeowner giving the middle finger to a PG&E logo. Lames.

These are the UI changes I'm waiting for.

There appears to be a lot more alerts related to stormwatch in the tesla app

I know it's an old thread, but this feature has stopped working for me a few months ago. I called Tesla Powerwall support and they haven't been able to fix it so far. Just wondering if it's broken for everyone, which would suggest it's a bug in the app or is it something that is somehow specific to me. To be clear, I'm talking about the ability to opt-out from a specific storm event, not toggling the storm watch feature off altogether.
