Tessie

Connect your Tesla using the Tessie API. This will never wake up the car, polling can be set to "always" and interval "1M". If the vehicle is awake, the data is usually less than 15 seconds old. If the vehicle is asleep, the data is from the time the vehicle went to sleep. Get your token at dash.tessie.com

Example: 3
advanced
modeDefault charging mode

Used when a vehicle is connected. Possible values are Off, Now, MinPV and PV, or empty if none should be set

advanced
minCurrent [A]Minimum amperage

Example: 6
advanced
maxCurrent [A]Maximum amperage

The maximum amperage per connected phase that can be used

Example: 16
advanced
maxPower [W]Maximum charging power hint

Defines the maximum charging power of the vehicle. Helps improve charge plan accuracy when the vehicle typically uses less than the offered current or supports higher single-phase current compared to three-phase. The offered current of the loadpoint is not affected.

Example: 10000
