Tesla Fleet
The Tesla Fleet API integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] exposes various sensors from Tesla vehicles and energy sites.
Prerequisites
You must have a Tesla
Use a custom OAuth application
The integration has a built-in OAuth application that will be suitable for most users. However, you can create your own applicationhttps://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth, but the other URLs can be set as desired. You must also complete both step 3
You will be prompted to pick your custom application credential when creating a Tesla Fleet config entry.
Configuration
To add the Tesla Fleet integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:
If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:
-
Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
-
In the bottom right corner, select the
Add Integration button. -
From the list, select Tesla Fleet.
-
Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.
Scopes
When connecting your Tesla account to Home Assistant, you must select the Vehicle Information or Energy Product Information scope. It is recommended you select all scopes for full functionality.
Rate limits
Tesla restricts open-source integrations to the “Discovery” plan
Command signing
Certain vehicles, including all vehicles manufactured since late 2023, require vehicle commands to be signed with a private key. All actions on vehicle entities will fail with an error if this is required and the key has not been added to the vehicle.
You will need to use Tesla’s command line tools
tesla-keygen -key-file tesla_fleet.key create > tesla_fleet.pem
tesla-control -ble -key-file tesla_fleet.key -vin VINVINVINVIN -debug add-key-request tesla_fleet.pem owner cloud_key
Finally, copy tesla_fleet.key to your Home Assistant config directory and then reload the Tesla Fleet integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more].
If you receive a “BLE connection attempt failed” error, follow these steps:
- Disable Bluetooth on your phone
- Execute the
tesla-controlcommand - Re-enable Bluetooth after the command completes
This is necessary because the tool cannot establish a connection while another Bluetooth device is connected to the car.

Vehicle sleep
Constant API polling will prevent most Model S and Model X vehicles manufactured before 2021 from sleeping, so the integration will stop polling these vehicles for 15 minutes, after 15 minutes of inactivity. You can call the homeassistant.update_entity service to force polling the API, which will reset the timer.
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 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 to convert their instant power (kW) values into cumulative energy values (kWh),
which then can be used within the energy dashboard.
