After this service was up and running, Tesla changed API access.
Hopefully I'll be able to access APIs in the future to get this running again.
Contact me for more information.
Thank you for your enthusiasm!

The Suncatcher system optimizes the way you charge your Tesla to ensure that real-time excess power generated by your solar panels is used whenever possible.
Suncatcher software runs on a Raspberry Pi or PC and interacts with an Eagle-200 monitoring device (from Rainforest Automation) and your Tesla to ensure that your car only charges when excess energy is being generated by your solar panels. Current Status: Beta Testing (Contact Jim if you want to be a beta tester) Additional Info Suncatcher Technical info: Blog posts Suncatcher on GitHub: Haselmaier/Suncatcher Kathy's Solar Page Kathy's Electric Vehicle Page |
