Homebridge Plugin for the Tesla Powerwall

homebridge-tesla-powerwall's Issues

Support for multiple gateway/powerwall

First of all, thank you for this amazing project. I'm running the latest beta and the gridisdown button is extremely useful for automation (I've tested it successfully). I have a situation where due to how the power is arranged in my home, I've needed to utilize two different sets of gateways. I was able to successfully add the first gateway, but I'm struggling to figure out how to add the second gateway to my config. I receive the following error message when trying to load the plugin:

[07/11/2022, 13:19:44] Error: Cannot add a bridged Accessory with the same UUID as another bridged Accessory: ************* at Bridge.Accessory.addBridgedAccessory (/var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/src/lib/Accessory.ts:594:15) at /var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/src/bridgeService.ts:552:25 at Array.forEach (<anonymous>) at /var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/src/bridgeService.ts:539:21 at /var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/src/lib/util/once.ts:10:18 at TeslaPowerwall.accessories (/var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge-tesla-powerwall/index.js:493:9) at /var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/src/bridgeService.ts:534:24 at new Promise (<anonymous>) at BridgeService.loadPlatformAccessories (/var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/src/bridgeService.ts:528:12) at /var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge/src/server.ts:478:42

Is there a way to add a secondary gateway to the configuration without the need to reload the plugin? Thank you in advance.

Support for Tesla Inverter

Hi, Tesla has started replacing peoples' inverters with Tesla-brand inverters. These inverters seem to offer a similar web-based interface as the Powerwall, but it looks like the API is less functional. Some info on it is here, but it looks like no one has figured out how to pull any useful information off the inverters' API except in the 15 minute interval after it is power cycled: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaSolar/comments/plew0k/tesla_inverter_local_api/

Opening this issue here because I think it'd be awesome to be able to see/use production numbers for various automations.

Using PowerWall On/Off Switch

In HomeKit, Powerwall On/Off switch is showing that it can be toggled. It also shows battery %. I like the battery % status, but pressing the On/Off switch doesn't really change state. Not sure how this is being used, and why one would want to turn it off?

Is it possible to make the battery % status separate from the On/Off switch?

Crash with latest plugin

Hi, I get the following in my log with the latest plugin from npm. It was previously working.

Powerwall forgetting its password

Thanks for a great project!

This is quite possibly not an issue in this project -- but posting to see if anyone else has ideas or shares same experience.

Situation is:

• everything set up, works very nicely
• after a few weeks the Powerwall will "forget" its password. This plugin will spam error messages "403 User does not have adequate access rights" in homebridge. But, directly logging in to the Tesla powerwall itself also doesn't work any more -- I get error "Error: Login Error (bad credentials)" on the Powerwall web interface
• seems like the powerwall his literally forgotten its password, and I have to toggle to powerwall switch and do a password reset
• it might( or might not) happen around times when grid power drops.

Anyone have any ideas?

Note: different to issue #33, I believe, as there is sounds like a direct login to powerwall web interface does still work.

Help

Hi, been trying to set up on my HOOBS for a week or so now, getting some errors that I can’t seem to solve. I’ve proven the IP I enter but when the errors come back it’s saying a complete different IP. Are you able to help me? Happily donate for your time to get this up and running!

Battery Charge and Grid Feed, not supported

First just wanted to say this is awesome.
Just happened to find this plugin. So great to see the battery status and the data in the Home app.

I installed everything without a hitch.
However in the apple Home app i see two "buttons". "Battery Charge" and "Grid feed". They both show as Not supported in the home app. Is this expected behavior? or do i have a setting that is off in my config.
thanks!

Change operation Mode

Hello,
thank you for all your efforts to write this Plug-In for Homebridge.
Is it possible to integrate an additional function to change the operation Mode?
I like to change from autonomous (aka Time of Use (TOU)) and self_consumption and back via HomeKit.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do it by myself :-(

Thank you very much.

GET /api/operation

request: curl --header "Authorization: Bearer OgiGHjoNvwx17SRIaYFIOWPJSaKBYwmMGc5K4tTz57EziltPYsdtjU_DJ08tJqaWbWjTuI3fa_8QW32ED5zg1A==" https://192.168.xxx.xxx/api/operation

response: {"mode":"self_consumption","backup_reserve_percent":15}

POST /api/operation

The below request would set the battery mode to "Self-powered" and a "Reserve for Power Outages" to 20% (app value) using the token retrieved from the authentication example.

request: curl --header "Authorization: Bearer OgiGHjoNvwx17SRIaYFIOWPJSaKBYwmMGc5K4tTz57EziltPYsdtjU_DJ08tJqaWbWjTuI3fa_8QW32ED5zg1A==" -X POST -d '{"mode":"self_consumption","backup_reserve_percent":24.6}' https://192.168.xxx.xxx/api/operation

response: {"mode":"self_consumption","backup_reserve_percent":24.6}

Valid Modes:

self_consumption
backup
autonomous (aka Time of Use (TOU) as reported by dlieu on the teslamotorsclub.com forums)
scheduler aka Aggregation - This seems like it is not supported now.

HomeKit Sensor for Grid Power Flow State

Great work here, first of all.

I would like to be notified if the system is feeding to the grid (or pulling power from the grid), and the cleanest way to do this, it seems, would be to expose HomeKit sensors that can trigger native notifications.

Plugin takes over log on error

HI,

when the plugin cannot connect to the tesla for some reason, which it does quite frequency as it seems that the Tesla is quite sensitive with its wifi connection and gets disrupted easily, it rather takes over the homebridge log, with the following error text showing every few seconds:

[03/12/2020, 07:40:08] [Tesla Powerwall] status code: undefined
[03/12/2020, 07:40:08] [Tesla Powerwall] body: undefined
[03/12/2020, 07:40:08] [Tesla Powerwall] error: Error: connect EHOSTUNREACH 192.168.1.36:80
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1146:16) {
errno: -113,
code: 'EHOSTUNREACH',
syscall: 'connect',
address: 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX',
port: 80
}

My log rolls off the top buffers within seconds, meaning I cannot view anything else going on.

Is it possible to make this be handled a bit better, with perhaps less text and less frequently added to tog? A reminder event 15 or 30 minutes after a initial message would be more than sufficient.

I don't have any verbose logging switch on on the homebridge as far as I can see.

Thanks

Chris

Add a switch to detect if the battery level is low

Hello, i m Paolo from italy and i love your plugin. I need a change: can you switch off the homekiy switch when the battery level is low? Thanks to this change i can make some scene only when powerwall is ready
Thanks

Crashes when used with homebridge-alexa

Hello, if I install the adapter and set up the config, he finds the powerwall and displays everything!
then the homebridge crashes!
this plugin is incompatible with the alexa plugin!
if I remove the config everything goes back!

Can't remove Unsupported accessories from Home App favorites

Not a bug really but wondering if you could implement a work around so that I could remove from favorites the current unsupported accessories that show up in the home app?

This was a suggested workaround I was able to find. Not ideal but if it could work would do the trick.

Login Errors

Hello,

After a few months of working fine, we're now on power wall build 21.35.0 and I am having to login to the powerwall via web browser on the PI in order to enable the connection.

The log shows

06/11/2021, 6:31:01 am] [Tesla Powerwall] error: null
[06/11/2021, 6:31:01 am] [Tesla Powerwall] status code: 403
[06/11/2021, 6:31:01 am] [Tesla Powerwall] body: {"code":403,"error":"Unable to GET to resource","message":"User does not have adequate access rights"}

but once I log in on the homebridge machine to the power wall the plugin can login again.

LoadButtom

Is it possible to add a LoadButton similar to the Batterylow to reflect a simple load status?

Button to change modes on the Powerwall

Would it be possible to add something what would allow a user to change the operating control mode between Self-Powered and Time-based and to be able to set the Low Backup Reserve?
This enhancement would allow a big step forward in automating whole home behaviour.

Switch for automation triggered by "does charge", "does not charge"

Total consumption is always zero

Implement it analogous to:
https://github.com/simont77/homebridge-myhome/blob/master/index.js#L1310

"Unexpected response: 403 User does not have adequate access rights"

I haven't seen this happen before, and nothing has changed. But all of a sudden, I am getting this error about access rights.

Nothing seems to be changed or not working correctly, so I'm not sure if this is a random error or something that needs remediation.

I'm not sure what to change, though. Any thoughts?

It is not possible to turn the powerwall on / off

Hello,I can not turn powerwall 2 on or off via homekit despite user and password

403 before login complete

Hi,

It seems that the plugin attempts to invoke the powerwall API before the login completes ... (see below)
I've verified the credentials are correct using https://github.com/vloschiavo/powerwall2/blob/master/samples/powerwallstats.sh

The plugin is partially working ... the Battery Charge and Grid Feed accessories are market as not supported

Can't connect

I just installed this in HOOBS, but can't seem to connect it. I keep getting the following error:

}

In my config, I'm using the ip address of the gateway and I can access it fine via a browser and log in no problem. I'm using the same password and email that I would use to log in via the browser. Is there something else that I'm doing wrong or need to change?

Home App showing Not Unsupported

I just installed this plugin and getting Not Support for Battery Charge and Grid Feed Accessory in the Apple Home App. All the Flow Accessory showing up normally with Fan icon.

Characteristics Warnings being Output to the Log

After upgrading to Homebridge 1.3, it seems like there are some changes to characteristics such that the errors spam the console logs over and over every few seconds. It seems like the old values still work, it's just a logging issue at this point, but they may stop working with a future version.

There may be others with accessories/features I'm not using, but these are the two I see. Just wanted to put this on your radar, if it's not there already.

Add caching to `request` with a timer of about half the polling interval

Request for Additional Functionality

During the winter, in order to avoid using grid power during peak time, we arrange for the PowerWall to charge to a minimum of 50% (whether via grid or solar) during off-peak time. The instruction on the Tesla App is for the PowerWall to allocate 50% to Backup and 50% to Self-Powered.

At the start of the peak electricity price period, we set the Backup to 0% and Self-Powered to 100%.

After the end of the peak electricity price period, and before the start of the next one, we set the Backup back to 50% again. The timing of this change depends on the weather. In sunny weather, we would leave this change as late as possible, on the basis that the battery will charge from solar. In wintery overcast weather, we might as well make the change immediately after the end of the peak electricity period.

I would like to be able to automate the change of allocation of the Tesla capacity between Backup and Self-Powered. Whether this be simply on the basis of time of day, or more sophisticated adding a factor related to the weather.

Is this change of the allocation of Tesla capacity between Backup and Self-Powered something that can be done via Homebridge? If so, how please?

PowerWall Charge and Grid Feed issues

Updated to the latest and the Battery Charge and Grid Feed show in Homebridge but not in the Apple Home App.

In the Apple Home App they just say Not supported - no value, etc.

Also even if I uncheck favorite they don't hold that choice and continue to remain on Home page.

Help, love this plugin but obviously need those bits to work!

Accessory to trigger automations based on battery level

Posting as issue in case I'm missing something obvious here.

I'm trying to trigger automations based on Powerwall battery level, e.g., when battery over 95% full, turn on pool heating so as not to waste excess power.

However, I'm struggling to do this with any of the current accessories:

• the "Battery" accessory shows in homebridge, but is listed as "unsupported" in Home app, and doesn't show in Eve as an accessory with current charge level (not sure why)
• the "Lightbulb" accessory (where brightness is the current battery level) does show up, but the Home app doesn't allow automations based on this, and the Eve app can only do automations where the power (charge) "equals" something, not "equal or greater"
• "Battery History" weather service accessory shows well in Eve, and the temperature characteristic works great, except: seems that Eve doesn't allow conditions on temperature for temperature great than 85degC. So I can't create rules for >=93%, only >=85%. And the hue characteristic doesn't allow "greater or equal", only equal.

So my next steps are:

• modified the Lightbulb accessory to have saturation also set by battery charge level, and I've created Eve triggers using this, but so far they're not triggering, not sure why
• considering creating another "Battery History" weather service accessory, where I divide power by 2 to set temperature (ie. 50degC would be 100% charge)

Before I do that ... is there anything obvious I'm missing? Thanks!

Memory leak?

I have Homebridge 1.5.0 (Node.js v16.16.0) installed on Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB RAM) that is running OpenMediaVault 6. I installed the Tesla Powerwall plugin as a separate bridge this morning, and I can see "home bridge: homebridge-tesla-powerwall" gradually using more and more memory when I run htop (VIRT column goes up consistently). Is anyone else having the same issue? Here's a graph from OMV's GUI:

I tried v3.1.0-Beta5, but VIRT memory consistently increases, just like v3.0.0.

Force a charge/Mode

Hi,

Great plug in. Is there a way to display what mode the battery is in or even force it to charge off the grid by clicking a button? I read the API to the servers is quicker than the API to the gateway. (Hope I have that right).

Cheers

Transfer to ioBroker

in V1.x it was possible to transfer the data points from Tesla Powerwall to ioBroker due wrapping modus of homebridge-tesla-powerwall in a iobroker.ham. instanc.
Unfortunately, this no longer works in V2. Does anyone already have a workaround?

Powerwall showing as a light in my device summary

The Powerwall device itself is showing as a light in the device summary. It is excluded from the Home Summary, but is still showing as a light in the summary for the room containing it.

Is there a way to suppress this?

PV is greater than 10kW

characteristic was supplied illegal value: number -141.63087646484374 exceeded minimum of -100

Configuration options for what services to load

For example:

• only Homekit supported services
• not the weather service for battery charge
• Minimal (only the on/of switch)
• ...

Authentication token required since Powerwall 2 firmware version 20.49.0

After updating to version 20.49.0 the plugin does not work.
Thank you

Add option to output the power as kW instead of W

Add option to output the power as kW instead of W. Mainly for the Homekit "display" services.

Questions (for me)

• Need to check whether the used Homekit services are able to display comma values.
• Is there a kilo Watt unit i can use?

Support for garage door?

are there any plans to support (garage) doors ?

Add a switch to detect grid failure

I’d love to be able to automate some actions (turn things off mostly) when the grid is down and the battery is low. Is there any way to do this with the API you use?

What does the gridIsNotYetInSyncSwitch option do?

I was hoping some documentation for the "gridIsNotYetInSyncSwitch" switch could be added.

Regular Warning message Undefined characteristic

A great plugin, thanks for writing it.
I recently updated a few dependencies and I’m now getting an u defined characteristic warning regularly in the homebridge logs.

Homebridge 1.3.8
Node 16.13.1
Non 8.1.2

Improve Homekit "powermeter" fan visualization by moving from percentage to a better unit

Basically upstream leeliu@37b1e1a .

The change was implemented in the past and can therefore be installed via: sudo npm install -g [email protected].

Commit that implemented the change in this repo: f144a9c

Things missing would be (this were the reasons for the revert before the release of 2.0.0):

• Feedback whether arcdegrees display better than the percentage
  -> using watts
• evaluate the possibility breakage caused by this change (Homekit automation?)
  • Is breakage really something to consider? (the plugin was completely broken for a few months, i.e., nobody should rely too much on this plugin)
    -> increased major number to 3
• Update the documentation
• Should this be implement as a choice/additional service?
  -> decided against it; could not come up with a good reason.

Powerwall 20.49.0 no longer working

Hi, software update 20.49.0 broke the communication with the powerwall. From reading through the API GitHub, some features now require authentication.

Change tariffs?

Hi,
How do you change the tariffs for power that it uses to calculate total cost etc?

I had a look in the Eve app and the plugin source but can't work it out.

Thanks

Consider a contact sensor type for grid up/down?

Great plugin, thank you for creating it!

A suggestion to consider. Homekit has built-in notifications for sensor states changing but not switches. I'd like to get native notifications when the grid goes down (as well as automating a few things). In homekit, sensors can be used to trigger automation just like switches can. Consider swapping out the switch accessories for the "grid up/down" service with a contact sensor (or two) that are set to open/closed when the circuit is. A nice bonus is the mental mapping between "open circuit" and "open contact sensor" for electronics :)

Improve Documentation

Example Configs

Add example configs for the following situations:

• Using only Eve.app
  • Without History
• Using only Home.app
  • With visualization
  • Without visualization

Add meaning of Homekit Visualization

• Fan: 100% are equal to 10 000W
