Tesla integration through "Teslamate" and MQTT

3 years ago • updated by 8 months ago • 1

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate values from Teslamate to bOS. (Native support for Tesla would have been great)

I'm new to MQTT so bear with me...

MQTT-explorer shows everything is working fine. A selection of the topics available below:

Internal broker in bOS picks up all the messages:

Question1:

Do I need to create new clients for every topic I want to subscribe to? If i make several subscriptions inside one client I just get the same value in all the subscritions. All of these clients is set up with the same clientID ("TeslaMate") and with the full path from MQTT explorer in the subscription topic. Please advice if this is wrong method. Note that none of the messages from the client ID "TeslaMate" is shown on the root page of the MQTT config (see above)

Question 2:

The log is flooded with "device is connected" messages from the clients. I'm not able to use the app properly due to this. How can I prevent it?

Question 3:

All of the topics I subscribe to is sent as text/string. It is not possible to configure the template for the value. Drop-down menu in the template window is missing. Tried to follow the method in the MQTT video on comfortclick's youtube channel with no luck.

Thank you for your attention

Hey

How far did you get with this? Have you tried to use tesla fleet API too? I got approved for tesla fleet but i dont own a tesla just yet - wondering anyone has done it already.

Q1: I think they should be within the same client, but the subscription topic should be different for every subscription you are interested in.
Q2: I think it has the same problem as with question 1 - too many request for one client.
Q3: I think you need to use parsers.
