I've been using the Owner API to control when my Powerwall is charged from the grid, using Python scripts based on TeslaPy running on a RPi. This API is being turned off this year so I will need to move to using the new Fleet API.
I'm hoping that some of the app developers and script writers here can give me some advice. Although in theory I have the technical skills I'm not interested in developing an app for general users, I just want to automate setting the backup reserve percentage and operation modes via a Python script. Access to the Fleet API seems to entail registering as a third-party developer including having an app development project, a website etc. Now I could jump through those hoops, but as just an owner controlling one Powerwall is that necessary? Is that what Tesla expect the more technically savvy owners to do?
How do I set myself up so that when pricing tiers come into force it is obvious that I should continue to have free access for my one use?
I can't be the only person here running scripts, using TeslaPy or using the Owner API and changing over. How are you looking to do that?
