I hope nobody minds, if so please remove, but I am maintaining a fork of Yoziru’s BLE Tesla project that provides an alternative approach. I started looking for an alternative to apps using Tesla’s pay for API and realised BLE was the likely best approach. I can’t use BLE from the RPi on which I run HA so needed something on a separate device, likely ESPHome based, and Yoziru’s project was what I found and tried. However, that seems to have stalled so I started a fork from which I’ve done some development that provides sensors and controls in HA. You can find it here: GitHub - PedroKTFC/esphome-tesla-ble: Interact with Tesla vehicles over BLE using ESPHome and Home Assistant.
bit of a novice when it comes to esp32 gear. Can this be done through home assistant ESPHOME device builder Addon? or i need to compile some other way?
I have spent hours trying many ways to implement Tesla Vehicle tracking
since my newest Tesla failed under the old " Tesla Custom Integration" implementation.
Tesla Fleet will not take any domain names that are registered and do work in browser.
Teslamate integrations would require 60+ entries in configuration.yaml file for each vehicle.
NONE of the options are acceptable for normal Home Automation users and more than 50% of the home assistant users.
No discovery when using Teslamate integration as it puts entries under teslamate.
