a lot of people use TeslaFi for stats but I am more thinking along the lines of smart integrations / automations etc.
I have a "going somewhere" schedule in TeslaFi ... unfortunately TeslaFi tackles that with multiple tasks ... so if I leave at a different time I have to adjust all the START times
I don't use "One time" option in TeslaFi as that will delete the items after they have run ... and then I would have to re-create them, from scratch ...
Because of that I run the risk that I forget to DISABLE a100% charge ... and then I get that again "tomorrow"
Also, TeslaFi will "retry for 5 minutes" - in case the first attempt(s) fail. So I have the tasks staggered by 5 minutes to allow for that ...
Something that would schedule a "batch of tasks" as a single "job" would be much better, fiddling with them all individually is error-prone.
I have:
@ Departure -X Hours (sufficient to complete the charge, typically I allow 2 hours if car is already at 90%)
Wake Up (in case asleep)
Change Charge Limit to e.g. 100%
Start charge
change AMPs to 32 (in case reduced ... yeah, I've scheduled a 100% for departure only to find previous fiddling reduced AMPs to 5
)
@ Departure -15-Minutes
HVAC on
@ Departure +15-Minutes - i.e. didn't leave!
HVAC off
Charge Limit 90%
I also have a WORK schedule:
If CONNECTED and if @ HOME:
Drop Charge Limit to 80% at start of Off Peak
Increase Charge Limit to 90% X-Minutes before normal departure - weekdays only (Bank Holidays will falsely run this schedule)
Start charge - this intended to warm the battery in Winter
HVAC on @ Departure -15 mins
HVAC off @ Departure +15 mins
If CONNECTED and if @ WORK:
Start charge
The charger at work sometimes trips - so in order to know if car is not charging I have some alerts set up:
If Charge not at 80% 1 hours before departure send Alert
If Charge not at 70% 2 hours before departure send Alert
(
i.e. whatever time interval would be "safe" to complete charge before departure)
...
HVAC on @ Departure -15 mins
HVAC off @ Departure +15 mins
