Model Y and Tesla Fleet integration - Turn on/off charger

Third party integrations
1

Hi all,
have a model Y and installed Tesla Fleet integration, all data is there.
I also have just the plain 10Amp travel charger that plugs into a standard power point.

How can I start and stop the car charging from Home Assistant if I leave the plug connected? Is this possible using the Fleet integration and the charger I have?

Can’t seem to work it out.

thanks,

Currently the integration does not include sending commands to the car. Some commands are supposed to be added in 2024.9

Thanks, so what are others using to perform this task? I see a number of posts and blueprints from 2021 and 2023 but not much lately.

Can any integrations perform this task or has the API access for these functions been changed by Tesla?

I believe the Tessie Integration, but that costs close to $ 150 / year

You can use GitHub - alandtse/tesla: Tesla custom integration for Home Assistant. This requires a refresh token be generated by third-party apps to login. or similar to send commands to the car (via Tesla API). However, Tesla recently limited the number of commands that can be sent per day. To circumvent that, I run GitHub - wimaha/TeslaBleHttpProxy: TeslaBleHttpProxy is a program written in Go that receives HTTP requests and forwards them via Bluetooth to a Tesla vehicle. The program can, for example, be easily used together with evcc. on a Pi Zero 2W next to my car to send commands to the car.

I am confused… I have the Tesla Custom Integration, but for several months now, it does not allow to send ANY commands to my Tesla.

Hi swa72. I want to use exactly this solution but I am stuck connecting the Tesla Custom Integration with the TeslaBleHttpProxy. How do I point the http requests coming out of the integration to the proxy? I have the proxy built and running and have paired it with my car (on a Pi0W) but can’t find details on what to do next. Can you assist?

Actually, I don’t use Tesla Custom Integration to initiate a charge. I use EVCC (which basically connects to my inverter, house battery and pv system to decide when to charge the Tesla. Once EVCC decided it’s a good time to charge, it sends a command to the BLE proxy. Here is an overview of my setup home-assistant/README-EV.md at 7312af784dfdea919d1b0fac893dc88ac4366752 · swa72/home-assistant · GitHub. I only use Tesla Custom Integration to visualize stuff on a HA dashboard.
