# Tessie Skill
Control your Tesla vehicles via Tessie API - a Tesla management platform with 500,000+ users.
## Setup
Get your Tessie API credentials:
1. Go to https://tessie.com/developers
2. Sign up and create an API key
3. Configure in Clawdbot:
```yaml
skills:
entries:
tessie:
apiKey: "your-tessie-api-key-here"
```
Or via environment variable:
```bash
export TESSIE_API_KEY="your-tessie-api-key-here"
```
**Note**: Vehicle ID and VIN are auto-detected from API. No manual configuration needed.
## Capabilities
### Vehicle Status
- **Battery level**: Current state of charge percentage
- **Range**: Estimated driving range
- **Location**: Current vehicle coordinates
- **Vehicle state**: Locked/unlocked, charging status, sleep mode
- **Connection**: Is the car online/offline?
### Climate Control
- **Start/stop**: Turn climate on or off
- **Preheat/precool**: Set cabin temperature (auto-detects Fahrenheit/Celsius)
- **Defrost**: Defrost windows/mirrors
### Charging
- **Start/stop**: Control charging remotely
- **Charge limit**: Set daily/standard charge limit
- **Charging status**: Current rate, time to complete, battery level
### Drives
- **Recent drives**: Last trips with distance, energy, locations
## Usage Examples
```
# Check battery and range
"tessie battery"
"tessie how much charge"
"tessie range"
# Preheat the car (assumes Fahrenheit if > 50)
"tessie preheat 72"
"tessie precool"
"tessie turn on climate"
# Check drives
"tessie show my drives"
"tessie recent drives"
"tessie drives 5"
# Charging commands
"tessie start charging"
"tessie stop charging"
"tessie set charge limit to 90%"
"tessie charging status"
# Vehicle location
"tessie where is my car"
"tessie location"
# Vehicle state
"tessie is the car locked?"
"tessie vehicle status"
```
## API Endpoints (Tessie)
### Authentication
All requests require:
```
Authorization: Bearer <api-key>
```
### Get Vehicles
```
GET https://api.tessie.com/vehicles
```
Returns full vehicle list with `last_state` embedded
### Get Drives
```
GET https://api.tessie.com/{VIN}/drives?limit=10
```
Returns recent drive history
### Get Idles
```
GET https://api.tessie.com/{VIN}/idles?limit=10
```
Returns parked sessions with climate/sentry usage
### Commands
All control commands use VIN (not vehicle_id):
```
POST https://api.tessie.com/{VIN}/command/{command}
```
**Available commands**:
- `start_climate`, `stop_climate`, `set_temperatures`
- `start_charging`, `stop_charging`, `set_charge_limit`
- `lock`, `unlock`, `enable_sentry`, `disable_sentry`
- `activate_front_trunk`, `activate_rear_trunk`
- `open_windows`, `close_windows`, `vent_windows`

## Notes
- Tessie acts as a middleman between you and Tesla's API
- Provides richer data and analytics than raw Tesla API
- Requires Tesla account to be linked to Tessie first
- API uses VIN for commands (auto-detected)
- All temperatures in Celsius internally
- **NOT YET DEPLOYED** - Prepared for deployment pending user review
