Push API data not updating Tesla charge rate consistently

Hi all,

I’ve recently had to switch from Solar Analytics to using my own Push API implementation to get data into ChargeHQ.

The production data rates show correctly in the app, but the app no longer ramps the charge up and down consistently - or at all in a lot of cases - you have to stop and go back to auto mode for it to update.

Just wondering if there is a bug, or if I’m doing something wrong. Are there any known gotchas with the push API? I’m only sending basic data.

Cheers in advance!

Hi @strepto42 . The data you are sending in via the Push API doesn’t look correct:

Notice that the grid exports look almost equal to the solar, the the consumption (yellow line) is a constant value, and does not include the EV charger.

Are you able to debug the system you are using to get data from your solar equipment?

Heya, yeah I should probably explain further - the consumption is hard coded right now because I don’t have any real data yet. Will do soon though. Now I just pick a number that seems like it will reasonably cover me from drawing from the grid.

I can debug it all yes, it’s my own integration rolled from something that I found which polls the trannergy inverter directly.

Odd thing is, this seemed to work fine at first, it’s only in the last week or so that it’s been getting ‘stuck’. I can’t think of anything much that I changed, apart from sending timestamps.

Anyway I’ll be integrating more properly with Home Assistant this weekend so will see if the problem remains. Just wanted to make sure nothing had changed recently or that there weren’t any gotchas around sending a constant consumption figure etc…

Rolled myself a better integration. It should be pushing real data now. Will keep an eye on it today :slight_smile:

Seems to be working well after a shaky start where I was pushing watts as kW :sweat_smile:

Thanks for the help!
