TeslaMate [megathread]

[ElRey]

I've just done a cloud install as I'm coming up on a week since picking up my car with no tracking. I should have set it up on day 1 but better now than later and I really like the ability to have this info on hand.

I plan to move from cloud to a Pi or upgrade my synology within 2- 3 months. The Pi is the cheaper option so more likely.

Now to digest all I can find on using Teslamate.

Its back!

Hmmm...

Im looking at getting a Fruity Pi soon so will transfer to that anyway

Edit - Crap - that "Buy me now" button was calling me.

Be interesting to know exactly why Tesla decided to block the IP ranges from these services. They must have had a reason to do it, and as it seems that some are now unblocked, that suggests that the reason may not have been directly connected to TeslaFi, etc. Perhaps TeslaFi etc loses their service for a time was just collateral from something else Tesla was doing?

Even though I've already got two Pi4's and don't need another, tempted at that price haha

Had you just left it running or spun it back up and reimported? If the latter I think it is just the importing that causes the monitor to whinge and suggest an upgraded instance. Mine hasn't reappeared since that first week of spinning it up and importing the data initially. I've not bothered re-importing this time as I think it only missed one drive and charge while it was blocked.

Just left it as is. Pi turning up today so will transfer to that

GCP blocked again I think! - here we go again

 

[Fruitbat]

Yep. Blocked for me as well. Would be nice to have an announcement from Tesla as to why blocking is occurring but I won't hold me breath.

Is GCP google? Was going to install there but ended up somewhere else while I get my Pi going and that's still on.

What cloud are you on?

Yes, GCP = Google Cloud

 

[ElRey]

Yes, GCP = Google Cloud

I went with Vultr with the aim of switching to a Pi once I've built it. Hoping that stays online until I'm ready.

Pi ordered and arrived, heat sync, power and memory card and then I'll get the Pi set up. Plan to instal my ubiquity controller on there as well before setting up my remote access.

Vultr

Excellent free alternative to TeslaFi. Thanks to the creator!

I have this working using Docker on Windows 10. I would also like to monitor the new Model X that we have in the family. How do I run 2 instances of Teslamate on the same PC? I have tried installing it using different port numbers but it didn't work. Any ideas?

It automatically monitors all vehicles in your Tesla account. Then in TeslaMate you choose which vehicle you wish to look at, via a drop-down menu.

It's not in my Tesla account, it's in my sister's account.

I sorted it - I added my email to my sister's account as an additional driver. It still didn't show so I did a restart and it is now showing. Brilliant.
