Tesla Wall Connector control via Tesla App 4.23

[reddy]

I have a Tesla wall connector , connected to WiFi, and running the Tesla app on iPhone with version 4.23.

Supposedly we can control the connector and set schedules there via the app. I have looked at the Add Devices section of the 4.23 app but I am not seeing any way to connect the Wall Connector to the app.

I'd like to also get our Powerwalls to forward excess solar to the cars in the future, but my PW2 are still on the March firmware, so not expecting that quite yet.

What is the trick to including the Wall Connector to the Tesla App ?

Occhis, thanks.

What I’m looking for is the new feature using the Tesla App 4.3 to schedule the Wall Connector.

That’s not yet covered in the online manual.

Where'd you get this from? Probably not Tesla? I can't control my connector either with 4.23. Pretty sure this is country dependant...and not in the US.

Supposedly it's in testing, but not yet available. At least from this.

Version 4.3.x was an update in 2021, so probably not what you’re looking for.

You can schedule charging through the app without adding the wall connector or interfacing directly with it. The schedule resides in the car, which will remotely control the wall connector to start and stop charging.

There are some settings you can access for the Wall Connector by logging into it's embedded web page. You have to cycle power and connect to it's AP within several minutes. From there you can control max current and whether the unit will send to power to any car, only Tesla cars, or only to specific VINs. It would be nice to be able to do this from the Tesla App, but it's not yet available.

No this is through the iPhone app.

No, this is the current iPhone app release from today. 4.23 One of my posts had a typo missing the 2. The title of this thread is correct.

I am running the app version 4.23.2-1815 and I do not see this option.

Same for me, I'm in Ireland and whenever something is applied in Uk it usually is applied to us too due to RHD etc. But no I cannot add a wall connector on newest app version

Negative on 4.23.2-1815

App at 4.23.3-1815 and car just updated to 2023.26.1 and no wall connector control. Although, the release notes are showing a "Charge on Solar" control if you have a Powerwall.

The Charge on Solar functionality is what I‘m really after. Unfortunately my Powerwalls are still on 23.12.2 and the 23.12.10 update is required. Updates for Powerwall don’t happen as predictably as for vehicles, so it could be a while before I can try this. Giving excess
electricity to Xcel Energy for free when the Powerwalls are full is disturbing.

Just FYI, I can schedule the wall connector directly in the app (in UK) 4.23.6-1844

That is because you are in the UK.

So not only do you have far superior screen writers (compared to Hollywood) as demonstrated on Britbox and Acorn, but you also have the Tesla App with additional features?? What the heck? hahahahahahaha

4.23.6 = Nope oniPad

current Tesla charge scheduling is awful! I simply want to avoid 4-9pm peak hours and charge any time I plug in, but it forces me to choose a departure time.
