Creates an API with all datapoints exposed from Teslamate to MQTT.
Endpoints:
- /cars
- /car/{id}
Environment variables:
| name | description |
|---|---|
| MQTT_HOST | Usually the name of the mosquitto block in your docker-composer.yml |
| API_KEY | Setting your own api key here will expose more data through the api. Without the api key you will still get enough data to feed some things, like the TeslaData-Widget. |
| TEMPERATURE_UNIT | The unit of temperature ("C" or "F") |
| DISTANCE_UNIT | The unit for measuring distance ("km" or "imperial") |
Add to docker-compose.yml:
teslamate_mqtt_api:
image: thomaslandro/teslamate-mqtt-api:latest
container_name: teslamate_mqtt_api
restart: always
environment:
- MQTT_HOST=mosquitto
- API_KEY=define_your_own_here
- TEMPERATURE_UNIT=C
- DISTANCE_UNIT=km
ports:
- 3040:3000
Check the /cars endpoint to make a note of the id of the car you want to expose. Follow the instructions in TeslaData-Widget to use a custom API, and use this as your APIurl:
http(s)://{YOUR_HOST}:3040/car/{CAR_ID}?api_key={THE_ONE_DEFINED_IN_DOCKER_COMPOSER}
If you didn't set the API_KEY value in docker-composer.yml you can remove that part of the URL.
