It has 1.9k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud. Tessie is a built-in Home Assistant integration that connects Tesla vehicles and energy products through the Tessie cloud service. It adds sensors, binary sensors, switches, locks, covers, climate control, a media player, and a location tracker for each connected device. Buttons cover actions such as flashing lights, honking the horn, and waking the vehicle. Number entities adjust charge current, charge limit, backup reserve, and speed limit, while selects set seat heater and cooler levels. A text entity sets the navigation destination, and an update entity reports vehicle software updates. Setup is done in the UI with an access token generated in the Tessie developer settings, and new devices appear without repeating setup. Automatic summary of Home Assistant's source code.
