Installation

• Set up "Grid Power Net" sensor in Home Assistant (HA) config, eg.

/config/configuration.yaml

template:

    # For Enphase, grid_power_net is an integer in watts. Positive value means importing power from grid. Negative value means exporting power to grid.
    - sensor:
        name: Grid Power Net
        state_class: measurement
        icon: mdi:transmission-tower
        unit_of_measurement: W
        device_class: power
        state: >
            {{ states('sensor.envoy_[YourEnvoyId]_current_power_consumption')|int - states('sensor.envoy_[YourEnvoyId]_current_power_production')|int }}

• Copy the Blueprint file to, \HOMEASSISTANT\config\blueprints\automation\flashg\Tesla_solar_charger_automation.yaml

• Restart HA.

• Create 2 helper booleans, eg. Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers > Create Helper > Toggle

1. Telsa Model3 charge from grid
2. Tesla Model3 stop charging

• Config the Blueprint automation specifying charger voltage, maximum current and helper booleans created above, ie. Settings > Automations & Scenes > Blueprints > Tesla solar charger automation

My setup

• Home Assistant, https://www.home-assistant.io/
• Enphase Envoy Integration configured for 30 seconds update interval, https://github.com/briancmpbll/home_assistant_custom_envoy
• Tesla Custom Integration v3.20.4, https://github.com/alandtse/tesla
• Tesla UMC charger, 230V, max 15A.
• Tesla Model 3.

Features

• Charge from excess solar adjusting Tesla car charging current according to feedback loop value "Grid Power Net". The "Grid Power Net" sensor expresses negative power in Watts when exporting to grid, and positive power when consuming from grid.
• Support multi-day solar charging using sunrise trigger to start and sunset trigger to stop.
• Compatible with off-peak night time charging.

How to use

• Set your charging limit in app or car.
• Connect charger to car. Normal charging at constant current should begin immediately if schedule charging is disabled. After a little while, the script will take over and manage the charging current during daylight hours. Please see work-arounds below if automation cannot be triggered.
• There are 2 options on how to charge the car (see below).
• The script will stop if charger is turned off manually or automatically by car when reaching charge limit.
• To abort charging, turn on "Tesla Model3 stop charging". The script will take about a minute to terminate if using default values.

2 options on how to charge the car:

Option 1

To charge from excess solar, just plug in the charger. The initial charge current is 6A. After about 1 minute it will adjust the current according to amount of excess power exported to grid.

Option 2

To charge from grid, set your desired charging current and turn on "Telsa Model3 charge from grid".

Notes

Automation cannot be triggered

The Tesla triggers and conditions are slow to update unless car is polled often. Polling too often can drain the car battery. So might have to wait a minute or two for the conditions to refresh and the triggers to work. Please see below for possible work-arounds.

Work-arounds:

1. Run the automation manually by selecting the automation and then select "Run Actions".
2. Turn polling off, then on.
3. Press the "Force data update" button before and after plugging in the charger.

teslasolarcharger's Issues

Possibility to combine with other solar production driven automations

Hi!

First of all thanks for this! I'm getting delivery of my Model S today so everything is ready to charge the car efficiently now!

However I'm having a question related to this.

Currently I'm running a similar (but way more simple) automation that turns on/off my pool's heat pump based on excess solar energy.

However, as these 2 automations will be running at the same time from may to september they will interfere with each-other.

At this point the automation does the following:
When I'm having an excess of 1kW for 30s, the heatpump turns on.
When I'm having a shortage of 200W for 1m, the heatpump turns off.

However, when the Tesla will be charging dynamically, there won't be any extra energy for the heatpump.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

"unknown" in tracking

Hi

First of all - thanks for your Tesla charger automation :)

It's working perfect for my new Tesla model 3 highland, and Tesla wall charger gen 3
, but I have an issue - that I do now know if its an error, or just by design. :)

If I look at the tracking details, from the automation - I get "unknown" sometimes... Is that an error?

My Automation is set up using Teslametry

My automation is set up like this:
https://pastebin.com/mGaRCqju

My Tesla_solar_charger_automation.yaml looks like this:
https://pastebin.com/kgBrvysA

The only thing that I have changed is

1. Tesla location - because my location is not working, I have made a change so its charging when its "not_home"
2. Car wake up is lowered to: 20
3. Wait grid power net update: 5 (I am using Simelezer +)
   4 Skew_default: is set to -1

Script doesn't stick to the amp limit

This morning somehow the script stopped adapting the amps.
In the log below you can see that the script changed the amps at 10:15, did a couple of refreshes afterwards but nothing past that until I restarted the automation at 11:46.

After restarting the automation I now noticed that the car is charging at 13A while the limit in de script is set to 12A (due to the issue mentioned in #4.

In 2 weeks I'm getting my MCU1 replaced by the newer MCU2. After that we can rule out the fact that the issue lies there.

Dynamic pricing charging

Hi there, and thanks for creating this awesome blueprint.

Lately I've switched to a dynamic contract, and would love to add the possibility to charge the car when the price is at a certain point.
I'm thinking about adding it to your blueprint, and setting a PR. But I'm not sure if this messes to much with your original intent of this blueprint.

Let me know if your open to this change, or if I can better fork this into my own blueprint.

Qeustion about script

Hi, thanks a lot for the script, I've downloaded it this morning and it seems to work pretty well !

I had a quick look at the code, and I have a question regarding the way the charging amps value is modified. Why is that done in a loop (i.e. gradually), in 1A increment, rather than in one shot ? Is there any benefit in doing this ?

I wonder because this means more commands sent through the Tesla API, doesn't it ?

Possibly I've misread the script, I'm not familiar with YAML yet, so forgive me if the question is stupid ;)

Thanks again for sharing your effort.

0A equal about 690W usage Tesla Gen 3 Wall charger

Hi,

Love this code/project.

But one issue I face is when not enough excess solar power the car use about 690-720W at 0A, guess it how much it is to keep car alive :-)

Could it be possible when it hits 0A to turn of charger switch?

Script not working when plugging in after sunset

Hi,

Another day, another question ;)

Today I've been charging using the script which worked flawlessly.
However this afternoon I left and I didn't come home before sunset.
When I plugged in the car, it started charging as expected, however the script didn't stop the charging.
I had to manually restart the automation for it to start working again.

Maybe there's a possibility to add an extra trigger on plugging in the charger that will check the sun's status so it'll be able to work as intended?

Charger Voltage variable and its description is not the correct for its purpose

Hi @flashg1,

thank you for this blueprint, it had saved me a lot of time and motivated me to better understand HA automation!

In my case I am using it with Tesla Model S and Tesla Wall Connector gen 3 in the EU.

Issue:
Charger Voltage variable and its description is misleading.
Initially I have set it to 400V and found out that automation always overshoot and started to oscillate.

In the same time, this was the FVE output:

Based on the Tesla in the EU we have 400V Wye grid.

Based on the this post Tesla in the EU uses 230V built in/onboard car charger and even in case when Tesla Wall Connector is used, 230V is used to charge the car. On the other side the car is able to stack/combine the energy from phase1, phase2 and phase3 aka (L1, L2, L3). Moreover to balance the load between phases the same current is always used on each of three phases.

The long story short, even in case when 3 phases are available, the difference in power when charging current is increase by 1 amp is (3(230*1))=690W*
When only one phase is available the difference is 230*1=230W

Workaround:
After I have changed the value of Charger Voltage to 690V (230*3) the automation works fine:

This was the output from the FVE in the same time:

Proposal:

1. Maybe it will be better if there is another input field:

Number of lines

Desc:
Number of lines provided by the EVSE aka Wallbox for the onboard charger?.
Eg: In the EU the Tesla Wall Connector and UMC gen 1 can utilize 3 phases, UMC gen2 utilizes single phase, only.

Then, the value that represent the minimal step should be computed as Charger Voltage * Number of lines

2. Change the description of Charger Voltage, to smth like:
   The Line to N voltage.

Script crashed

Hi,

Today I noticed that the car was charging at a higher rate than what I was producing in solar.
Normally, when the automation crashes, I'm getting a notification via another automation which also will try to restart the script.
However this time it didn't..

Any idea's on this?

About an hour later I had 12 errors that the car wasn't available, 20min after the first error the script stopped working and was restarted by my other automation.. I don't know that both issues have anything to do with each other.

When the vehicle seems to be unavailable, could it be possible to implement a failsafe for this (autorestart after 1min and 5min by example)?

Error: TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'

Hi,

I was looking for an automation like this and I saw you created this last week. Awesome and thanks a lot!
I don't have a battery, so I used the backup sensor which is not a number, but I get the following error and the script stops:
Error: TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'

What's the best way to get around the battery if you don't have one?

EDIT: I'm not sure if it has to do with the battery. I used a sensor with value 0 and I have the same error.
Here is a screenshot of the trace where it goes wrong and stops the script. I have a similar error 2 steps earlier, but it doesn't crash the automation. I hope you can help me out so I can start charging using the sun :D https://i.imgur.com/t9xmbQT.png

Home Battery - Function?

I want to thank you for this blueprint, really appreciated.
This is not really an issue, just a question regarding the home battery. I looked at the yaml but was unsure of what use does the automation make of the home battery charge/discharge power and current SoC.

I have these values feeded into the automation, and would be great do make some use of it. For example, at late afternoon I would prefer that the solar surplus was feeded into the home battery instead of the car. The same would be true for early morning.

Is this the purpose of adding this data to the automation?
Thanks!

TeslaException - Suddenly stopped working this afternoon

Except for some minor hiccups which can be fixed with other automations, this blueprint has been working perfect for about 8 months now! Thanks for that!

However today the script stopped working, when I restarted it quits after some time with an error (see image below)

I fear it's on the Tesla-side of things but any idea's on how to fix this are always welcome!
I can pull data from the car without any issues but I can't send anything. Changing the amps manually is returning an unknown error.

Thanks!

Energy usage between end of charging via solar and end of automation due to sunset

Hi,

Today was a flawless day! So thanks again for this script!
However yesterday and today I noticed that while I wasn't charging (0 amps) there was still about 400w of unexplainable usage that I normally never have.

So before I start measuring that specific plug I'd like to ask that there's some kind of idle usage between the end of the solar charge and the end of the automation 30min before sunset?

Screenshots below:

Here you can see that I'm consuming 843w. At this point the tesla was charging at 0 amps, so not charging.

This was after the script ended. I went back to my normal idle use of around 400-450w (you can also see it clearly in the graph between midnight and 6 in the morning.

It's obviously not that much of energy that's been wasted but if it can be avoided it's always better :)

Automation stopped without clear reason

This morning I noticed that the script didn't change the amps anymore. I checked and it did stop working indeed. However I've been looking around and it had no clear reason why it did.
Maybe it's a good idea to send a notification to the user's phone when the car stops charging unexpectedly?

Script doesn't change the amps

Hi,

I just configured everything and connected the car.
The car immediately started charging at 12A. After waiting for a couple of minutes nothing changed.

The script is activated by the automation as it should (I think).

Any idea's on how to make this work?

Force update no longer working?

Anyone else having this issue as of yesterday?

The automation doesn't seem to run as the force update no longer works.

Reading around I can see others having similar issues. Something changed in the Tesla API for this?

Starts charging in the morning and stops adapting the amps immediately

Lately the script starts every morning as planned. Sets the charging amps at 5 but as it’s winter there’s no sun. The script doesn’t change the amps and quits, but leaves the car charging at 5A.
Is there a way to fix this?

add the option to use x W of grid power

Hi, It would be great if you could add an option to allow for xW of grid power use in addition to the Solar.

Stopped because outside valid range

Here we are again :)

The automation was running perfectly, however one way or the other the car decided to lower it's maximum amps from 13 to 12. No idea why he did it (I'm new to Tesla).
Anyway, this caused the automation to stop as it was outside the valid range (13 in settings).
Could this be implemented that when the car's maximum range changes, the automation adapts instead of stopping?

Stopped because an error was encountered at 14 september 2023 om 13:58:21 (runtime: 3502.08 seconds)

Value 13.0 for number.wattson_charging_amps is outside valid range 0 - 12

Feature Request: Limit charging from grid based on realtime grid usage

During the winter months it's sadly sometimes needed to charge your car from the grid.
As I'm having peak tariff I have to do this at night.
However, in Belgium, we're also fined on our peak quarterly usage. This morning, the car was charging, I was still asleep and my wife used the oven, therefore our peak usage for this month raised a lot. (The highest 15min of the month will count)

To avoid this it might be useful to implement the opposite of the script for the case when it's charging from the grid.

Example:

When charging from grid, you can set a grid limit (ex 4000W). So the car can charge at it's maximum current, but when another device starts using electricity which causes the grid usage to exceed the limit, it lowers the car's current for the time that this occurs.

I think this would be a very useful addition to this project!

Trigger the automation when the charger was plugged in earlier, but charging is started through the tesla app

If the tesla is plugged in, but charging is stopped at some time (through the app for example), the automation stops running.
If it is then started again through the Tesla app, this doesn't trigger a new automation execution.
This is because the sensor.charger itself doesn't change from off to on, but the attribute 'charging_state' changes instead.

Automation won't run?

New at this but I have followed everything but the automation doesn't seem to be running? Even if I manually try "Run Actions", it just says "Last Triggered - Never"

I see this in the error log.
