What is Tessie Skill?
The Tessie Skill provides a robust interface for Tesla owners to interact with their vehicles programmatically. Built as part of the Openclaw Skills library, it leverages the Tessie API—a platform trusted by over 500,000 users—to offer deeper insights and more reliable controls than the standard Tesla API. This skill enables users to query battery levels, manage climate settings, and track driving history through simple natural language commands or automated agent workflows.
By utilizing Openclaw Skills, developers can integrate vehicle telematics into larger automation routines, ensuring their Tesla is always ready for the next journey. The skill acts as a sophisticated middleman, translating user intent into precise API calls while handling complex data like vehicle states and regional temperature units automatically.
Tessie Skill Use Cases
- Monitoring real-time battery levels and estimated driving range before a trip.
- Automating cabin preheating or cooling based on daily schedules or weather triggers.
- Managing charging sessions and setting charge limits to optimize battery health and cost.
- Retrieving detailed logs of recent drives including distance, energy consumption, and location history.
- Checking vehicle security status, such as lock state, window positions, and Sentry Mode activation.
How Tessie Skill Works
- The skill authenticates with the Tessie API using a developer-provided API key secured in the environment configuration.
- It automatically discovers all vehicles associated with the linked Tesla account, retrieving VINs and current status without manual setup.
- Users issue commands via an AI agent, which the skill parses to identify the target vehicle and specific action (e.g., climate, charging, or status).
- For control commands, the skill sends a POST request to the vehicle's specific VIN via Tessie's fleet management endpoints.
- The skill processes the telemetry response to provide the user with real-time confirmation of the vehicle's updated state.
Tessie Skill Setup
To get started, obtain your credentials at https://tessie.com/developers and configure your environment for Openclaw Skills:
export TESSIE_API_KEY="your-tessie-api-key-here"
Alternatively, add the key directly to your configuration file:
skills:
entries:
tessie:
apiKey: "your-tessie-api-key-here"
Note: Vehicle IDs and VINs are auto-detected upon the first connection, requiring no manual vehicle mapping.
Tessie Skill Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes Tesla telemetry and command metadata using the following structure:
| Data Category | Fields Tracked | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Identity | VIN, vehicle_id, display_name | Command routing and identification |
| Energy State | battery_level, usable_battery_level, charge_limit_soc | Charging management |
| Climate State | inside_temp, outside_temp, is_climate_on | Cabin comfort control |
| Drive History | start_location, end_location, energy_used, distance | Analytics and logging |
| Security | locked, sentry_mode, windows_open | Remote monitoring |
Tessie Skill Advanced Features
- Intelligent temperature detection with automatic Celsius and Fahrenheit conversion based on user input values.
- Comprehensive drive and idle session tracking for energy efficiency analysis.
- Automated vehicle wake-up logic to ensure commands reach cars in deep sleep mode.
- Support for advanced hardware commands including trunk, frunk, and window venting.
- Multi-vehicle fleet support with automatic VIN detection for owners with multiple Teslas.
