What is Tesla Commands?
The Tesla Commands skill is a technical interface designed to bridge the gap between your Tesla vehicle and your automation workflows using Openclaw Skills. By leveraging the MyTeslaMate API, this skill provides a secure and scriptable way to interact with vehicle telemetry and commands without needing a mobile device.
Whether you need to monitor battery levels or pre-condition your vehicle's cabin, this integration within Openclaw Skills ensures your car is part of your broader developer environment. It supports sophisticated multi-vehicle management, making it an essential tool for Tesla owners who prioritize automation and efficiency.
Tesla Commands Use Cases
- Pre-conditioning the vehicle cabin before a scheduled departure.
- Automating charging schedules to coincide with off-peak electricity rates.
- Checking real-time battery and lock status through Openclaw Skills terminal sessions.
- managing multiple vehicles on a single account via VIN targeting.
- Waking up the vehicle remotely to ensure it is ready for immediate command execution.
How Tesla Commands Works
- The skill initializes by reading the TESLA_MATE_TOKEN for secure authentication with the MyTeslaMate fleet management service.
- Users provide commands via the tesla-control script to request status or send specific instructions like climate control.
- Openclaw Skills routes these requests to the MyTeslaMate API, which communicates directly with the Tesla vehicle.
- The vehicle executes the command (e.g., setting a charge limit) and returns a status confirmation.
- The JSON or CLI output provides immediate feedback on the vehicle's updated state.
Tesla Commands Setup
To use this integration with Openclaw Skills, you must first obtain an API Token from your MyTeslaMate account. Once you have your token and vehicle VIN, configure your environment variables:
export TESLA_MATE_TOKEN="your_myteslamate_token"
export TESLA_VIN="your_vehicle_vin"
You can then run the status command to verify the connection:
./bin/tesla-control.py --status
Tesla Commands Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages vehicle-specific data and authentication credentials to facilitate commands via Openclaw Skills. The data structure is organized as follows:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| TESLA_MATE_TOKEN | API bearer token for MyTeslaMate authentication |
| TESLA_VIN | Unique vehicle identifier for command targeting |
| status_payload | JSON response containing battery, climate, and lock status |
| charge_limit | Percentage value (50-100) for battery management |
| schedule_time | HH:MM format for charging start times |
Tesla Commands Advanced Features
- Multi-vehicle management allows switching between cars using the --vin flag within Openclaw Skills.
- Wake-on-command ensures that instructions are sent successfully even if the car is in deep sleep mode.
- Granular charging control enables users to set specific charge limits and clear schedules on the fly.
- Full telemetry access via the status command for building custom monitoring dashboards.
- Scriptable CLI interface allows for complex automation logic within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
