How to Connect Tesla

Read Tesla Powerwall batteries and solar systems. The connection only reads: it does not change Powerwall settings. Vehicles and Wall Connectors are not supported.

Before you start

• You need the Manage IoT Connections right and a Tesla account that owns the energy products.
• Tesla is set up by the platform first. Your organization sees it in the list only once the platform offers it. If it is not there, ask your platform administrator.

Connect it

1. Go to Settings › Smart Devices › Connections › Device Services and choose Add connection.
2. In Add a connection, choose Tesla (under Energy).
3. In Name this connection, enter the name people will see.
4. Choose Continue to Tesla. Tesla opens in the same tab.
5. Sign in to Tesla and approve access.
6. You come back to the Connections tab. It says Connected. Looking for devices…, then how many devices it found.

Result

Your energy sites appear after the first sync with battery charge, solar production, home use and grid values, and energy history. Values are checked every minute.

When you want to revoke access

Removing the connection here does not withdraw access at Tesla. To revoke it from Tesla's side, use your Tesla account settings: Security → Third-party apps.

If it doesn't work

• The vendor did not complete the sign-in. This includes an account in a Tesla region the platform does not serve. The platform serves Tesla's North America and Asia-Pacific region and its Europe, Middle East and Africa region, as the platform has turned them on; accounts in China cannot be linked.
• Access was not granted, so nothing was linked. You declined at Tesla. The form opens again with your name filled in; choose Continue to Tesla again.
• The connection later says Needs a new sign-in: choose Sign in again, then Continue to Tesla. See How to Relink a Connection.
• See Fixing a Connection Problem.
