Screenshots

It uses the Tesla API to control your Tesla. It will allow you to do things like the following:

  • Turn on/off A/C or car (battery) pre-heating in winter
  • See indoor and outdoor temperature
  • Start/stop charging
  • See battery status, possible range and charge rate + cost information
  • Lock your car
  • Honk the horn
  • Flash the lights

The functions are ordered so that the menu's at the top are the things I use most. It will automatically start retrieving charge info once opened.

Installation

The easiest way is to use the Pebble Store, from the Pebble App.

Android:

  • Run the Pebble (Time) App.
  • Choose "Get Apps" in the Pebble App to enter the "Pebble Store"
  • Search "Tesla" in the Pebble Store and select TeslaFTW.
  • Your watch will now have the Tesla app. It will ask you to configure it on the phone.
  • From the Phone app, go into "My Pebble". Tap the "Settings" button under the Tesla App icon.
  • Then, enter the login of your Tesla account and your preferences.
  • Go into the Tesla WatchApp from the main menu. The first time takes longer, it needs to find your vehicle. After that it will remember it.
  • Now you can use the app!

iPhone:

Note that iPhone support is untested as I don't have an iPhone.

  • Run the Pebble (Time) App.
  • Choose "Get Apps" in the Pebble App to enter the "Pebble Store"
  • Search "Tesla" in the Pebble Store and select TeslaFTW.
  • Your watch will now have the Tesla app. It will ask you to configure it on the phone.
  • From the Phone app, go into "My Pebble". Tap the "Settings" button under the Tesla App icon.
  • Then, enter the login of your Tesla account and your preferences.
  • Go into the Tesla WatchApp from the main menu. The first time takes longer, it needs to find your vehicle.
  • Now you can use the app!

Status / Warranty

Using this application is entirely at your own risk. No guarantee is given I use the app all the time, but that doesn't mean it will work for you.

Compatibility

  • Pebble firmware 2.0.1 and later. Pebble Time.
  • Android: PebbleApp 2.0 Beta 10 or later.
  • iOS might not be working at the moment, I can't test this because I only have an Android phone.

The app doesn't require a companion app on your Android/iOS device, but needs a recent Pebble (Time) App on the phone.

Development

If you want to help out with development, that's great! The app needs some work in several areas.

Wishlist:

  • Stability in general
  • Lots of testing on more pebbles with more phones. Only used my own Android with a 'regular' black Pebble.
