Tessie

The Tessie integration exposes various commands and sensors from the Tesla vehicles and energy products connected to your Tessie subscription.

Prerequisites

You must have an active Tessie subscription, generate a Tessie Access Token and grant Tessie access to your Tesla vehicle by generating a Tesla Virtual Key.

Configuration

To add the Tessie integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Manual configuration steps

If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

Troubleshooting

If a vehicle action returns an error in Home Assistant, you should first try to perform the same action in the Tessie app. The app will guide you through the steps to fix common issues like command signing or scopes.

Energy dashboard

The Tesla Fleet API only provides power data for Powerwall and Solar products. This means they cannot be used on the energy dashboard directly.

Energy flows can be calculated from Battery power and Grid power sensors using a Template Sensor to separate the positive and negative values into positive import and export values. The Load power, Solar power, and the templated sensors can then use a Riemann Sum to convert their instant power (kW) values into cumulative energy values (kWh), which then can be used within the energy dashboard.
