Problem with AddConsumptionOffset API Command

Hi @ngardiner. I’m trying to integrate an unsupported home automation system (Loxone) with TWCManager. The home automation system supports sending POST commands, so I anticipate the best way will be using the AddConsumptionOffset command.

I’ve tried three independent methods to send the POST command -

1. Via the home automation in-built facility,
2. Via Node-Red,
3. Directly from the command line.

curl -X POST -d '{ "offsetName": "WattsOffset", "chargeNowRate": -10000, "offsetUnit": "W" } http://10.1.1.21:8080/api/addConsumptionOffset

I’m attempting to set the chargeNowRate to -10000. I anticipate I should see Generation reflect 10kW, but nothing changes.

Can you please confirm the facility does work?

There’s a high likelihood I don’t know how to properly format the POST command.

According to https://www.teslafi.com/firmware.php about 40% of AP1 cars they are tracking have a 2021 firmware. Suspect we just need to be patient or we all get it in this year’s Christmas update.

I’m on the same version as you - 2014 ap1 model S and 2020.48.37.

Thanks. For info, my old-ish 2015 Tesla Model S appears to have topped out with firmware at v2020.48.37.8. I don’t think I’ll see a firmware to support API controlled charge rate (but will be pleasantly surprised if it’s released).

Very thankful for your TWCManager though!
