Tesla Powerwall (Fleet API)
Tesla offers an official, but paid Fleet API. For private use, you can create a Tesla Developer Account at developer.tesla.com and receive a monthly API credit of $10.
The myteslamate.com guide explains the process and generates a free Access and Refresh Token. With this token pair and your Client ID created in the Tesla Developer Account, evcc can directly communicate with the Tesla Fleet API.
Supported features
- Battery control: External control of home battery charging and discharging via evcc.
