dc15 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I see someone has figured out the API for the car http://docs.timdorr.apiary.io Could this be integrated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooseleg Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 What features are you looking to integrate and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc15 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Well its the Push the Envelope forum. Monitoring battery levels from a TS, switch an LED on a keypad to green when the battery is full, etc etc came to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterwilson Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'd be more interested in the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monitoring battery levels from a TS, switch an LED on a keypad to green when the battery is full, etc etc came to mind Got it, this shouldn't be that hard to do: - Controller sends get statement to car- Car responds- Response is process as a C4 command or scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phileaton Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I actually came across this api the other day when I was doing some research and also thought this would be a great idea. I would love to see this, but unfortunately don't own a tesla to test against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Anyone learn anything else about this? I just bought a Model S and I would love to have the following in Control4: (all of this is available from the Tesla phone app) Set a C4 variable to display battery and charge status. Indications would be low battery, charging and charged.Ability to stop or start charging from C4.Ability to turn on climate control from C4.(Could also do other stuff like unlock, open sunroof, honk horn, etc) It looks like the Tesla API is increasingly hard to access as many people, including new owners like me, are not able to access the servers. But assuming that you could access the Tesla API, how would you do the following:Send a C4 Boolean, integer or string so that it could be read and acted upon in a language like Java or Python.Read a Boolean, integer or string into a C4 variable. Are there not some generic IP drivers that have been written? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wappinghigh Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I just bought a Model S ^This is simply the most awesome thing I have seen on this forum in a very long while..... Wow. Congrats! Amazing. Unreal. What else can be said? Other than go for it........!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wappinghigh Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 buy me a tesla and i'll figure out how to make it work Fly yourself out to Zaphod and do whatever he/she wants.. write his/her driver then drive the car!!! Anyone who buys one of these machines is a customer worth knowing/having Just do it (for free).....Get on the next plane. Now. No questions asked.

zaphod Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I doubt I am the only one with a Model S and C4. There are HA discussions on the Tesla forum site. But when I describe C4 to people most of them don't like the sound of it as it is too closed for them. Especially compared to all of the new stuff coming to market right now.

I find it hard to believe that Tesla owners aren't more into Crestron than C4, and I doubt most of them are DIYers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiam Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I too own a Tesla model S. Had it about a year now. Fantastic car! I've owned a Lexus, a BMW and an Infiniti and none of them compare to the service I get from the Tesla people. I also think it would neat to integrate the car into my C4 system but it's not nearly as important as getting BETTER connectivity from other things first - the Neat Thermostat and their Protect smoke alarms, better connectivity to Pentair pool equipment... I indeed am a DIYer. Crestron is WAY too expensive for my budget. The Tesla is indeed an expensive car but it's not THAT expensive. Crestron people are the ones driving Bentley and Rolls.

thedriverslab Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hey guys, If someone has a connection at Tesla and wants to give us a car to test against we will develop this for you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to be able to turn the car climate control on by pushing a button in my bedroom rather than have to get my phone to do it. FYI - it was -20C in Toronto this morning. I think a lot of Tesla owners are geeks that like playing around with Technology. The unoffical Tesla API was developed by Tesla owners and there is a Java application called Visible Tesla that you can run on Win/Mac/Linux that duplicates (and then some) the functionality of the apps. Other folks developed an Unoffical Windows Phone app for the car since there is no official one. I think it is quite the opposite of what turls said - I think many Tesla owners are very much DIYers and may shy away from C4 since it isn't DIY enough. There are threads on the Tesla forums with folks playing around with the lower end HA stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wappinghigh Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Control4 should just develop this driver themselves for the Public Relations. It's a no brainer... Can you imagine the add? Someone programming their car from a Control4 TS (with the C4 logo all over it) then stepping out into a Telsa?? Geeeezz.. Any association with a high tech outfit like Telsa motors would be a multi million dollar advertising win.. This says everything about what a HA high tech company should be all about.. It's got nothing to do with whether or not ordinary folks can afford to own a Telsa, or whether they would be DIY or not.. Who cares if there is only a handful of combined C4/Telsa owners? That's not the point. It's all about perception and dreaming about the potential of tech.... it's about aspirational consumers Control4 themselves should be all over this... Cheers.

RyanE Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Control4 only develops drivers for 3rd parties that publish an actual API, without resorting to reverse-engineering / hacks. Unless I'm missing something up-thread, it sounds like Tesla has not released an API. Also, typically, manufacturers have to provide hardware for Control4 to develop/test against. That's not nearly as likely to happen in this case. Not that I'm saying Control4 *would* or *should* develop the driver themselves if the API were freely available. I don't necessarily make that decision. RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisraza1 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Maybe i can see with some Ford ingeneer if its possible with a electric Focus.

Unless I'm missing something up-thread, it sounds like Tesla has not released an API.That's very true and most recently they are making it harder for third party apps to access the Tesla servers. But Tesla has said that they plan to allow third party apps on the car - hopefully that means they will allow other devices like HA systems, smartphone apps and desktop OS apps to access the Tesla servers. Some of the hacks, like Visible Tesla, have very useful stuff - like sending you a notification if your car exceeds X miles per hour, or leaves a geofence. http://www.visibletesla.com/Documentation/site_index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisraza1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think in a couple of year ( or maybe less ) it will be possible to integrate it with c4 or Another home automation compagnie. We already have a app on iphone or androids ( ford ) to start your car remotly , see the status of your batterie charge and stuff like that. They just need like ryans said to open the api for third party control and developpers will create some application. We already work with leviton on our battery charger and as i know they do (leviton ) work with c4Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
