Help with Tesla Powerwall API V3

Specify API_Token = 'xyz' together with other credentials then you should be able to use the RequestFromTesla/WriteToTesla functions. Keep in mind that the token has expiration time and has to be refreshed.

I received an 401 error if i do what you suggested.

API_Token is the Refresh Token?

But why the other credentials? they are only used in the GetToken function and never used if you hardcoded the api_token.

Refresh token is what you use to get a new access and refresh token pair. Access token is used for API calls. It might have already expired so you need to generate a new token pair.
You will need a scheduled script to refresh the token periodically. See this for more info: https://tesla-api.timdorr.com/api-basics...cess-token

i changed the code a little bit, but always received a deny from the webservice

Code:

123456789101112131415161718192021222324

function GetToken()   body = json.encode({     grant_type = 'authorization_code',     client_id = 'ownerapi',     refresh_token = refreshToken,     scope = 'openid email offline_access'   })   resp = {}   res, code, headers = http.request({     url = 'https://auth.tesla.com/oauth2/v3/token',     method = 'POST',     source = ltn12.source.string(body),     sink = ltn12.sink.table(resp),     headers = {       ['Content-Type'] = 'application/json',       ['Accept'] = 'application/json',       ['Content-Length'] = #body     }   })     log(res, code, headers) end

As refreshToken i used the Refresh Token from the Auth for Tesla app.

When i hardcoded the Access Token in the code it works, but this code expires in 8 hours

Code:

123

function GetToken()   return accessToken --from the Auth for Tesla app end

Try adding User-Agent/X-Tesla-User-Agent headers as in previous examples. Also try adding client_secret field to the JSON body. You might also need an additional request to exchange bearer token for access token.

I already tried that, but same 400 deny error

Code:

123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627

function GetToken()   body = json.encode({     grant_type = 'authorization_code',     client_id = 'ownerapi',     client_secret = client_secret,     refresh_token = refreshToken,     scope = 'openid email offline_access'        })   resp = {}   res, code, headers = http.request({     url = 'https://auth.tesla.com/oauth2/v3/token',     method = 'POST',     source = ltn12.source.string(body),     sink = ltn12.sink.table(resp),     headers = {       ['Content-Type'] = 'application/json',       ['Accept'] = 'application/json',       ['Content-Length'] = #body,       ['User-Agent'] = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9.0.0; VS985 4G Build/LRX21Y; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/58.0.3029.83 Mobile Safari/537.36',         ['X-Tesla-User-Agent'] = 'TeslaApp/3.4.4-350/fad4a582e/android/9.0.0'     }   })     log(res, code, headers) end

problem found, grant_type incorrect transfered

Code:

1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132

function GetToken()   body = json.encode({     grant_type = 'refresh_token',     client_id = 'ownerapi',     refresh_token = refreshToken,     scope = 'openid email offline_access'        })   resp = {}   res, code, headers = http.request({     url = 'https://auth.tesla.com/oauth2/v3/token',     method = 'POST',     source = ltn12.source.string(body),     sink = ltn12.sink.table(resp),     headers = {       ['Content-Type'] = 'application/json',       ['Accept'] = 'application/json',       ['Content-Length'] = #body          }   })   if not res or code ~= 200 then     return   end   resp = table.concat(resp)   resp = json.pdecode(resp)     bearer_token = resp.access_token   --refresh_token = resp.refresh_token       return bearer_token end

And next? do i need to refresh some tokens?

[admin]

When you get new bearer token you need to exchange it for an access token as described here: https://tesla-api.timdorr.com/api-basics...cess-token

Your scheduled refresh script should work like this:
1. get current refresh_token from storage (you will have to store it manually once)
2. request new bearer_token and refresh_token using current refresh_token
3. exchange bearer_token for new access_token
4. save new access_token and new refresh_token to storage

All other API calls should use access_token from storage.

this is great in that we seemed to have got to a solution but in the meantime, I have become confused. the most recent post explains how to obtain and maintain access tokens. Can someone provide a working example of the LUA code to set the backup reserve % in my battery and the mode (self-powered vs time-based control)? I'd really like to access the State of Charge and other parameters too if that is possible. My knowledge is scant but I am good at trial and error! with thanks

Has anybody got working scripts for Tesla? Both to get token and to use API calls and want to share?

Hi, I finally got these working by following the different advices in this thread and some googling. I especially wanted to control the rate of charge and charging limit. After some fiddling, I found out that these needs the arguments in the body.
