Trigger TeslaMate to wake up?

[tobiasehlert]

I am wondering, if there is some way to trigger TeslaMate to wake up and resume logging with a HTTP POST request or so.
If I recall, there was something available like one year ago.. someone remembering?

Why?
If I wake up the car by an API call (not through TeslaMate) then TeslaMate continues sleeping for minutes to go. Therefore I want to trigger TeslaMate to resume logging when I want it to.

Maybe @adriankumpf can recall if that is something that is not left anymore or if there is a possible solution?

I see snippets of code with a resume logging function, but I'm not familiar with the code to determine if it's something that actually is still working or how it is used. I think it's definitely doing something to signify "Driving / Start" based on the logs.

For such cases there is PUT /api/car/1/logging/resume. It will instruct TeslaMate to resume logging and increase the polling interval for a short period.

Alright @adriankumpf
So there is an API endpoint /api/car/... which means that I'll have to write some code in TeslaMateApi to pass those two existing PUT requests to TeslaMate instead. Thanks for that info :)

I came here looking for this - tried teslamate some time ago and remember this - now I don't see it anywhere. Also you used to be able to configure sleep durations and the like

[adriankumpf]

If the Streaming API feature is enabled (which is the default), you don't need to configure anything.

[steve28]

So when teslamate shows "Falling asleep for X min", if I started a drive then, it would catch all of it?

[adriankumpf]

Exactly!

[steve28]

sorry for being slow... then what is happening during the "falling asleep ..." phase? It sounds like with the streaming API there is no need to pause anything...?

Yesterday I added this into crontab to assist logging of scheduled charges (starts at midnight):

58 23 * * * /usr/bin/curl -X PUT http://localhost:4000/api/car/1/logging/resume

Seems to do the trick, although I was not charging last night:

teslamate_1  | 2021-03-14 21:47:35.713 car_id=1 [info] Start / :asleep

@adriankumpf how long does Teslamate stay active before trying to put the car asleep if this is called?

[adriankumpf]

Three minutes by default. You'll find [info] Suspending logging in the logs.

I think it would be nice to have an enhancement where you could give the intended online time as a parameter.

The use case is the slow MCU1 / instrument cluster startup from deep sleep. I was thinking of adding some automatic wakeups now that my car is finally sleeping:

• call the Tesla vehicle wake-up api
• instruct Teslamate to do logging for a given period of time, as a desired side-effect this keeps the car from falling asleep

I already tested that my car will stay awake with a shell script like this:
while true; do sleep 60; curl -X PUT http://localhost:4000/api/car/1/logging/resume; done
