Can't get the module to work

[theskyisthelimit]

Good morning,

I just got my car last week and was thrilled to have the possibility to display informations on my magicmirror. Unfortunately I am not able to get this module to work. I have the application Teslamate up and running in several docker containers. I am able to connect to the MQTT broker with a tool like "MQTT Explorer" and I can see all the stats and parameters. However on the magicmirror I can only see the values as "undefined" and the status of the car is alway offline.

Any suggestions or things I could try?

hi, MMM-TeslaLogger currently only supports TeslaLogger. But I can install TeslaMate with pleasure. Could you just send me some of the MQTT telegrams. Then I will see what I can do. That shouldn't be too difficult and should be fast.

[theskyisthelimit]

Thanks for the superquick reply! I'm not sure where I can get those MQTT telegrams but this doc has all the parameters -> https://teslamate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/integrations/mqtt.html Does that help?

[spitzlbergerj]

And the easiest way will be that you take this module : https://github.com/olexs/MMM-Teslamate :-)

[theskyisthelimit]

I like your module much more ;-) and I already tried that module and can't get it to work either.

[spitzlbergerj]

oh thanks :-) I'll take a look at this. i probably have a few hours this weekend. let's see And maybe I will be home longer because of Corona :-)

[spitzlbergerj]

But the problem is that I cannot test with me, I do not have a teslamate with me. You have to do the testing then. And one more request. Connect again with MQTT Explorer to your MQTT Server and get the telegrams with Copy&Paste. Please send these to me.

[theskyisthelimit]

Much appreciated! Do you live in europe too?

Do you need these values? https://imgur.com/TE57fyF

[spitzlbergerj]

yes, I live near Munich, Bavaria. And yes, these values help me.

Nice! I live in switzerland - almost right next to you guys. Is Germany also preparing for a full quarantine?

[spitzlbergerj]

yes, I think so.

[spitzlbergerj]

Hi, would you like to give it a try? So make an update to the module and change the config. Add there: mqttTopics: [ "teslamate/cars/1/+" ], But it should also work without changing the config, because MMM-TeslaLogger is now listening to both I hope it works. Like I said, I can't test it on myself.

Attention: teslamate does not provide some of the data that TeslaLogger provides. This concerns the trip data and the battery heating. But teslamate does provide some data that TeslaLogger does not (yet) provide like locked states

[theskyisthelimit]

Amazing! Thank you so much! I didn't have to change anything. Should we try to integrate the other data?

[spitzlbergerj]

hi,I'm glad when it fits. Which other data would you have liked to have displayed?

[theskyisthelimit]

What do you think about the following parameters?

teslamate/cars/1/geofence -> String. e.g. "Home" or "Work" teslamate/cars/1/locked -> true/false teslamate/cars/1/update_available -> true/false teslamate/cars/1/est_battery_range_km -> Number in km teslamate/cars/1/time_to_full_charge -> Not 100% sure yet but I think the shows the minutes left.

[spitzlbergerj]

Hi, ok, I'll take a look. locked should be working by now. I close this issue now and open a new one with the new requirements. Hope that's OK

[theskyisthelimit]

Thank you so much for your help!

[spitzlbergerj]

one more question: which style do you use?

[theskyisthelimit]

I use "lines". I've just discovered that the order of elements displayed is not the same as in the config file. Is this intentional?

[spitzlbergerj]

The sequence of the elements is fixed in the program code. I do not (yet) have a variable sequence. Feature request ? :-)

[theskyisthelimit]

Hi Josef, Please excuse my absence. I've been very busy due to the Corona virus. I will fill out the feature request as soon as possible. I have a few more ideas. Maybe you can have a look at it.

[spitzlbergerj]

Hi, no problem. I was very busy too. Please open a issue for more requests and ideas
