Push or other message from car to Node-RED? #54

Is it possible to know, without sending a command to the car every x seconds, when the car has been taken out of Park, or some other change in the state of the car? Everything I see is requesting information so I am guessing that is the only possibility since there is no official API at this time but figured I would ask since I get notifications of some changes on my phone via Tesla's app.

Kindest Regards, Karl S

There is something called "Streaming API" which will push some data. However this library isn't supporting it yet. I would suggest to install teslamate and mqtt. Teslamate will publish the data from the streaming api to mqtt and you can grab it via mqtt. I'm doing the same currently.
