dashboard is nice!
What about us non-geek win10 standard users? Any possibility to have a nice simple selfcontained no-installation-needed executable for win10?

 

[ricebucket]

looks amazing! Will try to set this up.

I have not tried Teslog either. How does this compare?

 

[BigTonyTones]

Wow this is beautiful. About to install it on my esxi server

 

[Ande]

Wow ! , looks very nice, self-hosted is a great thing ! - thanks for the info !

Got it up and running using turnkey linux core. Many setup steps since turnkey is very minimal. Running flawlessly on one core with 512mb ram. Thank you Mephisto for the great script

Outcome great....how to input....no idea. Things either load or they don't!

Got this running last night. Something happened during the day and the service wasn't publishing new data to the DB (but never crashed and was still running) so I lost about a day of records. I didn't have time to debug this but killing the process and restarting it got the data back. Will monitor to see if this recurs.

 

[Ande]

on a headless server, what is the port of the served webpage ?

 

[dailo]

Great job! I did something similar, but your dashboards are way nicer. I'll try to add to this project when I can.

 

[Sorabh]

Just installed this also. Took some time but I am getting data back. Looking forward to these new analytics!

Thank you OP

 

[Ande]

Is that a webpage ? What port is it served on ?

 

[dailo]

Is that a webpage ? What port is it served on ?

It is running grafana to chart the raw data and by default runs on port 3000 but can be changed.

 

[TonyT]

Awesome. I can’t wait to set this up! Thanks!!

You can run this on a new windows machine if you download and use the ubuntu native vm package on windows. Open 'ubuntu' from start and follow the instillation commands. Not all the commands work on the windows ubuntu virtual environment but it supports what you need to run this locally. Just please make sure your comp isn't visible to anything except your local network.

[edit] be sure to check the issue page for any problems you encounter, someone may have already figured out what to do: lephisto/tesla-apiscraper

 

[TonyT]

This is really cool, can someone post the way to switch back to miles?

Thank you very much for your help.
I just discovered that WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) exists!
So I went to the trouble to enable and install it in my Windows machine, and then started following the instructions on your website.
It took a couple of hours to figure it out (WSL is not supporting systemd, and that was a sort of stoppage till I found how to get around it) and now I have both InfluxDB and Grafana up and running, tesla db created and grafana plugins installed.
Now I come to the following instruction on your website:

Import the Dashboard JSON Files included in this repository.

but I really do not know which command /procedure I must use to "import" JSON files.

Would you please be so kind and help me out?
Thank you in advance for your support.

Click the "+" on the webpage and select import. Then you have to select each of the json files. Driving, Charging, and Climate. You will need to have the json files on the computer you are using the browser to setup the web interface. Sounds like it might be the same machine for you.

many thanks @mephisto @mmmk @TonyT for your support.
unfortunately I'm too ignorant of Linux management to make it work and my trial and error process is leading nowhere.
