This app provides an easy way to control the charging features of your tesla. It is intended to being used in a smart home or via commandline.
-
Start and stop charging
-
Set the charging amps
-
Set the charging limit in percent
-
Retrieve charging infos from the car
-
Open/close the chargeport
-
Set the charging limit in percent
-
Wake the car up
-
Automatically calculates the recommended charging amps based on the given power currently sent to the grid (positive values) or bought from the grid (negative values). The superflous power will be used to charge the car. Power already used to charge the car will be taken into account.
This is how it looks like (The car has been charged from 09:30 to 2pm. Note how the load - the black line - follows the production - the yellow area):
As usual for java download JDK and maven and compile the code with
mvn install
Grab the .jar file in the target/ directory.
Alternatively you can download the teslacharging.jar file directly from the resources directoy.
Start the application with
java -jar teslacharging.jar -h
A short helpfile will be displayed.
java -jar teslacharging.jar --propertyfile /media/usb0/app.properties --chargecalculation 5000
Changes the charging settings of your tesla so that an additional 5000 Watts are charged on top of the current charging.
Charging can vary between 1 amps and 32 amps. Note however that even when setting to 1 amps your tesla may consume more than one amp. On the other side 32 amps is not always supported. Sometimes 16 amps are the maximum consumable power although the software allows up to 32 amps.
java -jar teslacharging.jar --auth step1
Execute the given URL in the browser, logon in the browser. When the browser shows "Page Not Found", copy the parameter "code" from the url and execute step 2 with it.
Step2 will save the necessary tokens to the configurationfile. The default location of the configurationfile is "app.properties". This can be configured with the parameter "--propertyfile <path_and_filename>". Note that the app needs write-access to the file.
Alternative to create a token:
https://github.com/fredli74/fetch-tesla-token
Grab it and enter the token in the configurationfile.
If you have more than one car enter the VIN of the car in the configurationfile. The rest will be filled out automatically. You can use multiple propertyfiles for multiple cars.
Feel free to enhance the program as needed and create PullRequests so that others can benefit from your enhancements.
