Tesla Powerwall Controls

Feature Requests
#1

The official integration of the Tesla Powerwall (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/powerwall/) is great and I use it to get live stats, however this has no control of powerwall functions - I would like to be able to set the powerwall to Backup mode when my electricity is cheap, then back to self consumption when it is not. Using the local API for this is apparently unreliable, but someone has documented the public App service API here on github and specifically the energy.py file has lots of comments showing use of the API with the powerwall. I’ve never written a HA integration and my python isn’t very good else i would try and integrate this directly.

Ideally this could be integrated into the official tesla extension, as an optional “add your tesla credentials for full powerwall controls” rather than just the IP of the gateway for monitoring. You can also pull stats from the public API, which would be great for people who’s powerwall is not on the local network.

I would love to see this.
That way Powerwall users could also set modes based on upcoming weather forecasts.

Love the idea. There is so much possibility that opens up if we are able to control the powerwall locally.

There are storage systems from other vendors too. Perhaps similar to a generic thermostat datamodel, they should define a generic battery, solar and EV.

Direct http interface allows control to ‘Go On/ Off Grid’ and ‘Stop System’ which presumably could also be included.

A developer question - does anyone know why these countries aren’t possible with the current API use? Is it a permission/credential issue? Or a case of it simply not being implemented?
