TeslaMate: Yet another self-hosted data logger for your Tesla

[Morristhecat]

I was thinking of making a pi image but im worried about the whole ip address thing. The script requires a known ip address to be set in the config.

Would it be possible to create the pi image, and then manually edit the configuration file's IP to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX before releasing it? Then the new user has to modify that configuration file?

Setting this up on a Rpi but having trouble starting it.

(Created docker-compose.yml file)
Afterwards start everything with docker-compose up
(This gets "command not found")

More interesting if I do this:
pi@TeslaMate:~ $ docker run docker-compose up
Unable to find image 'docker-compose:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for docker-compose, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied.
See 'docker run --help'.

pi@TeslaMate:~ $ docker search TeslaMate
NAME DESCRIPTION STARS OFFICIAL AUTOMATED
teslamate/teslamate A data logger for your Tesla 5
teslamate/grafana A custom grafana image that auto provisions … 1
siomiz/teslamate 0


I seem to be missing something here.

Has anyone seen their Tesla sleep for more than an hour? My car consistently sleeps for roughly 1 hour increments twice a night. Have never seen it sleep for longer than an hour (even when I was away on travel and car was parked at the airport for over 10 days). I'm wondering if it is a car settings issue or TeslaMate somehow triggers a change from "sleep" to "online"....

Yes, one for 14h and the other for 11h. Setting: time to try sleeping, 15m; idle time before..., 30m, must be locked checked.

Can you please explain the values for the temperatures graph - specifically is_climate_on and fan_status?

I am looking at some vampire drain charts with high drain where climate on is 1 and fan status is usually a non 0 number such as 3 or 5.

Thanks!

Im running mine on ubuntu. Anyone know how to get "docker-compose up" command to run on start?

Having a surprisingly hard time for some reason.

Yes, add this command after every image-link in your docker-compose.yml file:
restart: unless-stopped

Example:
grafana:
image: teslamate/grafana:latest
restart: unless-stopped
environment:

Tip, run this command to run in console background:
docker-compose up - d

Wonderful Thank you !!!

Thanks, it looks awesome, I got it running on a RPi 3 (Let me know if anyone wants the img for it)

How does the "Time to Try Sleeping" work? is that how long I want the logger to keep the car awake after a drive or is it how long it'll wait in between sleeping states to send a new request?

Hey. I'd love to check out and get your Rpi image if you still have it. Been struggling to get this going as well.

I am pretty bored at the moment. Might whip up a pi3 image for you guys

I did make an image. Dumbly made it on a 64gb card. Reading card now and Ill shrink it down .
Anyone know a good place to upload it?

I too was able to get this running just fine on QNAP NAS via ssh. Fantastic set up. After some time though, I’d like to compile an overlay graph of my charging data, specifically supercharging data. Is there a way to create a panel to plot charge rates vs % or miles remaining base on when supercharging is true?

Any chance you might have time to develop and share detailed instructions of the sort created in this earlier posting by drklain (his were for the Synology box)? What platform were you using (fingers crossed that it was a Mac)? Congrats on getting it working, I hope you find it very helpful.

Here is my rapsberry pi 3 image. Made with a fresh copy of raspbian with all the latest updates.
The pi will reboot itself once full loaded . Give it a few minutes before everything starts. I would say it needs about 5 minutes in total time before the web interface is up

Visit http://x.x.x.x:3000 to for detailed charts

Teslamate will autoload every time the pi is powered off and back on again.

You are awesome @BigTonyJones! I really appreciate it. Downloading now and my new Pi is going to arrive Monday. I'll let you know how it goes.

Please do. First time making a pi image for distribution

I am on Windows 7 and used PuTTY for ssh. After re-reading the Synology directions, the same applies to the QNAP with the small exception that you'll want to install Container Station from the QNAP App Center and the directory you want to place the yml file is /share/Container.

 

[SigRed12]

However, when I needed to restart the NAS to update the firmware, I'm having problems starting the Teslamate container. Here is what I did:
- update to latest docker-compose.yml based on github
- docker-compose pull <- this took about 30 seconds to complete
- docker-compose up

Here is the output:
container_grafana_1 exited with code 1
grafana_1 | Failed to send request: Get https://grafana.com/api/plugins/repo/pr0ps-trackmap-panel: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Am I missing something?

@BigTonyTones , Thanks very much for the Pi image. I used etcher and burned it to a 32GB MicroSD, put it in the pi, plugged it into a network cable & booted it up. After logging in at X.X.X.X:4000 it seems to see my car and is up and running. I'm not sure what to do with the Grafana page at X.X.X.X:3000. I guess I'll drive around tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks!!!
