Automation won't run?

Automation won't run?

Closed this issue 2 months ago · 9 comments

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.

Not sure where to start looking...?

Thanks

Hi @changer1198, please double check your installation steps, and also the Tesla integration device is working, ie.

Settings > Devices & Services > Tesla Custom Integration >

You should see something like this,

The Tesla Integration is working.

I have a Tesla Wall connector instead of the UMC. Would that make a difference?

Answer 3 · 2023-09-16T11:28:07.000Z

I don't think it is wall connector or UMC related since the script is only talking to the car. You might still want to test with the UMC to see if it works, but I doubt it.

What is your charge limit set to?

Answer 4 · 2023-09-16T11:29:33.000Z

Was set to 32amp.

Can test the UMC tomorrow

Answer 5 · 2023-09-16T11:46:31.000Z

I mean the battery charge limit. 70% ?

That is what the error is complaining about.

Answer 6 · 2023-09-16T11:51:21.000Z

Oh sorry. It was at 90%

Answer 7 · 2023-09-25T22:46:03.000Z

Ok, it may be working now, it started charging at least and no errors.

Will monitor to see if it reacts to the solar properly.

One quick question, how did you get the Tesla to show up on the Solar graphic above home?

Answer 8 · 2023-09-26T10:32:18.000Z

I've updated the github page with the answer, ie.

https://github.com/flashg1/TeslaSolarCharger#dashboard-tesla-power-card

optional appliances with consumption and extra values

appliance1_consumption_entity: sensor.charger_power
appliance1_extra_entity: sensor.battery

Closing case unless this is still an issue.
