Charging polling takes too long.

[hitnrun30]

Ok, I have read through the issues and updates but either it is me or something else that needs help..

I want to close the Garage when it is open and I begin charging the car. I plugged it in and nothing. Waited a little bit, nothing. I know there is a best practice for this, but what would that be. I'm thinking that when I come home set the polling interval to be 15 seconds and when the garage closes reset it to 660, but how do i do that and in Node Red BTW.

any help is appreciated.

I was hoping for some kind of response. Why even have polling, why not just setup to get push notifications. API has a notifications piece.

Have a look at https://github.com/alandtse/tesla/wiki/Polling-policy to see how polling works and how you can adjust it accordingly based on your need.

For notifications API, if you have a working example to be shared? From what I understand there is only polling or "stream" however for "stream" only 1 app can be getting the stream at a time. Which means if this integration uses that then the Tesla app on your phone can't use it.

Well that makes a bit of sense. But there must be a way, what if you have 2 cars and 2 phones. Wouldn't they both be getting the stream?

Might be. But not something we can implement unless Tesla informs everyone how to do it, or someone can reverse engineer.

I’ve never worked with websockets so I’m not much help here, but to get around the limitation of 1 connection, couldn’t a user just create a separate account to use with just HA?
