Tesla_apy.pi failing to install from fresh installation #796
Comments
These are no longer used.
Did you actually put a refresh token there? Because the above isn't going to work. Please follow the documentation in the config file.
You don't need to specify this as it's the default. |
Hello i did put the refresh token there in addition to the other fields. the reason i have tried the above is the Tesla Mod X is not staying awake i have tried export TESLA_WAKE_MODE=stream, and have tried the same but with sentry looking at the diagnostic logs its adds a line Not Keep Tesla Awake so i am a bit stuck hence reading the other post here that suggests adding Tesla Email / Passoword. At the moment my car does not stay away hence not mounting the drive to record |
event with only the token added with nothing else, tesla_apy.py still fails if that makes a difference |
Something seems wrong with the refresh token then. Make sure to put it in quotes, and don't break it up into multiple lines. It should all be on one (long) line. You could try the following:
Verify that what it prints matches the refresh token you generated. Then run |
will give that a shot now |
just done a fresh install still get the error during setup however after all is done i have run the command you specified and it does output the details of my car |
should i do another fresh install but the the quoation marks " start and end " |
Single quotes are usually better e.g.
(the real token will be much longer, probably over a thousand characters) |
oh, and you shouldn't need to do a fresh install every time. You can just reboot and it should resume/retry installation. |
so if i do sudo -i and the output i get is my car, am i correct in assuming that its working ? |
Yes |
ok will looks like its working will go and plug in to car and see how it goes thank you for all your help, will let you know what happens |
Plugged the Pi in to the car and waited for it to boot and the recording icon to appear on the screen which it did. Went away for dinner, came back to the car with out the keys say 15min later and the Pi was powered off, got the keys walked to the car and it woke up went in to the car and the PI was booting up, Car reported 1 sentry event however when i go in to the app there is no event recorded |
It's not clear to me whether you took the car to go to dinner or left the car at home while you went away. In any case, TeslaUSB only uses the Tesla API to keep the car awake during archiving. When Sentry mode is enabled, the car itself should keep the USB ports powered, and therefore the Pi should be on as long as Sentry mode is on. |
Hi Sorry i should have said the car was parked at home with Sentry active had dinner came back to car and the PI was powered off |
What model year is your Model X? |
2020 |
Hmm, I don't understand what's going on then. The car should keep the USB port powered while Sentry is on (because without power even a regular USB drive wouldn't work), and yours apparently doesn't. That is unrelated to using tesla_api.py to keep the car awake during archiving. |
Defintly a very strange one unless something has been introduced in the latest tesla update to the car |
this is what I get :-( when I do the commands from top root@teslausb:~# bin/tesla_api.py list_vehicles |
did you add the token refresh in to the setup file |
yes , export TESLA_REFRESH_TOKEN='eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6Ikp....snip.....emrhH-hyGw' I use MFA on my account will this be a problem ? and afterwards I started the bin/setup-teslausb , reboot to bring it into running config |
on my line i used these quotation marks " then did a fresh install |
I saw a comment to use singe quotes but will give it a try |
yes true but i used " before i saw that comment but it worked |
same result :-( |
im see this line in the diagnostics Fri 27 Oct 13:18:47 BST 2023: Failed to contact car using Tesla API, retrying in 5s... no other line after that as i suspect the PI looses power |
Another update, so i have remove the Tesla_api comments in the setup file and moved to Tesla FI API, ran the install and i can see the wake call within Tesla FI web portal so its working, however after about 5 min the Pi Powers off even with Sentry being turned on. not sure if this normal behaviour or not |
No, when Sentry mode is on the car is supposed to keep the USB ports powered. As I mentioned before, that's independent of using tesla_api.py to keep the car awake during archiving. |
Really don't know what the problem is, has to be a software issue with the tesla not sure if anyone else with a X is having the same |
@TarkUK What firmware version is your Model X current running? As a side note (nothing to do with your issue), I've noticed my Model S on 2023.27.7 now goes to sleep after 12-15 minutes of park/idle, despite a 3rd-party service like TeslaFi polling away every second. The constant polling used to be enough to keep the car awake. I'm wondering if Tesla's made some changes recently, as they prepare for an official launch of their 3rd-party API support (which is currently under testing). With all that said, I'm going to have to make an update to the TeslaFi implementation to use the full 'wake_up' command to keep the car alive. I ran a private test version of that last night and it proved to be working well. Better even, since the car tends to go to sleep on the avg. 5 minutes after archive ends; before it could take as much as 30 minutes. |
I am running 2023.32.9 |
I have tried soft reset make no difference and I have the pi directly connected to the car but I have also tried a backup battery pack and while that keeps the Pi alive the port in the car just stops over time |
What is your car's state of charge? |
Always above 20% currently st 87 |
Try using another USB-A to USB-C cable. I'm wondering if the port is shutting down from over-drawing, because you have one of those cheap/early USB-A to -C cable without the 56k pull-up resistor. Speculation, but worth a shot. |
Must have tried 6 usb cables. Whichbone you recommend from amazon |
Just ordered one comes Tuesday |
Actually, before you go swapping cable, try using a simple USB Stick and see if that works without any issues (e.g. not powered off and captures recordings). If that fails too, then it definitely the car, which you should flag for service. |
btw, this is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVQSC9PC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details |
Hi I'm now encountering a similar issue. TeslaUSB working fine however the car no longer says awake. When I ran this command: bin/tesla_api.py list_vehicles, it returned the error: Thu 08 Feb 08:26:30 CDT 2024: { I went ahead and created a new Refresh Token and ensured I set it up correctly (with single quotes), then ran these commands: sudo -i The output correctly returned my new Refresh Token, however when I again run bin/tesla_api.py list_vehicles, I still get the "token expired (401)" error. Has anyone resolved this? |
@marcone the issue may be a bit more complicated. Opened a new bug ticket for Tesla API access failing with token refresh. Seems they changed the Tesla API. |
This should work again for now. I did have to delete /mutable/cache.json and /mutable/tesla_api.json, and create a new refresh token. Something like this:
|
I tried this and it fixed the issue for me. It's keeping the car awake, even after a reboot. EDIT: |
I found a way to fix the Tesla API from failing to keep the car awake from the token expiring and not refreshing. It's a hack, but it does the job. find the function ping (line 11) Change it from this:
to this:
Now if the API call fails, it deletes the cached value - Tesla_API.py picks up on this and picks up a fresh token. Car will now stay awake and back up all the files. Log output. Note the car stayed awake for 30+ minutes to finish the archiving (it's also charging):
