What is a signal and how they are counted?

And why do my Tesla send signal like this?

Or all these changes while parked?

All these problems will lead to why higher payments then necessary :(

You have configured the vehicle to send you that data with interval_seconds: 10. If you dont want to pay to get the data that often, then increase the interval. Unfortuantely floating point values like these change a lot.

I do agree that maybe sending gpsHeading and location when the vehicle is in park could be a little redundant, but hey, maybe its on the back of a tow truck?

Sorry, they should not change back and forth and it should not send the same value again and again...

For other values like odometer this is not happening. For odometer I get exactly one signal when it is parked...

I would agree that it would make sense to have some sensible throttling on floating point value changes. Surely nobody cares about a 0.0001% change in battery SoC or energy remaining?

And one more from my last drive.
These are 3 signals in one second, why are they not grouped?

Even if they are grouped, they count as 3 signals.

Aha. Where is this documented?

I count every single signal and that matches to the billing.

Sorry, I am wrong. I was on par on 07th Dec., but it seems like today I'm far away from Tesla. Tesla should really make it clear.

Where can you track the number of signals and Tesla billing?

Where can you track the number of signals and Tesla billing?

The Fleet Telemetry server has a Statd and Prometheus metric output which you can use to count signals received. Your Tesla dashboard in billable countries shows your current billed volumes.

I think I should update to the newest version. My istallation is from Feb. 2024 - never change an running system :-)

Just override all files and restart the docker?

Yes, that is a huge problem.
No support and no documentation :( But the billing is fine...
