This entity can: - Change the driver's set temperature - Change to one of the three keep modes: Keep, Dog, and Camp - Turn on and off The passenger set temperature is shown as a sensor but cannot be changed by Tessie. ### Cover The integration will create a cover entity to control various aspects of your vehicles: - Open/Close trunk - Open/Close charge port - Open frunk - Vent/Close windows - Vent/Close sunroof ### Device tracker The integration will create device tracker entities for the vehicle's current location and navigation destination. ### Lock The integration will create lock entities to lock and unlock the vehicle, and to control: - Charge cable - Speed limit ### Media Player The integration will create media player entities to show what each vehicle is currently playing. ### Number The integration will create number entities to control: - Charge current - Charge limit - Speed limit ### Select The integration will create a select entity to control each of the seat heaters. It allows you to set each seat heater to Off, Low, Medium, or High. For vehicles equipped with cooled (ventilated) seats, a select entity will also be added to control each cooled seat. Heated seats: - Front left - Front right - Rear center (if installed) - Rear left (if installed) - Rear right (if installed) - Third row left (if installed) - Third row right (if installed) Cooled seats: - Front left - Front right ### Sensor The integration will create sensor entities for a variety of metrics related to your vehicles: #### Charge state - Battery charging - Battery level - Battery range - Battery range estimate (disabled) - Battery range ideal (disabled) - Charge energy added - Charge rate - Charger current - Charger power - Charger voltage #### Climate state - Driver temperature setting - Inside temperature - Outside temperature - Passenger temperature setting #### Drive state - Destination - Distance to arrival - Power - Shift state - Speed - State of charge at arrival - Time to arrival - Traffic delay #### Vehicle state - Odometer - Online - Tire pressure front left - Tire pressure front right - Tire pressure rear left - Tire pressure rear right ### Switch The integration will create switch entities to control various aspects of your vehicles: - Charge - Defrost mode - Sentry mode - Steering wheel heater - Valet mode ### Update The integration will show vehicle software updates and their installation progress. Updates can only be installed from Home Assistant after they have finished downloading. ## Energy entities ### Binary sensor - Backup capable - Grid services enabled - Grid services active - Storm watch active ### Number - Backup reserve - Off grid reserve ### Select - Allow export - Operation mode ### Sensor - Battery power - Energy left - Generator power - Grid power - Grid services power - Load power - Percentage charged - Solar power - Total pack energy - Version - Vehicle - VPP backup reserve - Fault state code - Power - State code ### Switch - Allow charging from grid - Storm watch ## Energy dashboard The Tesla Fleet API only provides power data for Powerwall and Solar products. This means they cannot be used on the energy dashboard directly. Energy flows can be calculated from `Battery power` and `Grid power` sensors using a [Template Sensor](/integrations/template/) to separate the positive and negative values into positive import and export values. The `Load power`, `Solar power`, and the templated sensors can then use a [Riemann Sum](/integrations/integration/) to convert their instant power (kW) values into cumulative energy values (kWh), which then can be used within the energy dashboard.
