pw_forced_sell

Caveat: use at your own risk, this is just a proof of concept to get some working code out in the wild.

Caveat 2: after changing the tariff settings, it may take many minutes for the TBC behaviour to change due to Tesla not reacting to these changes in real time. Try to plan at least 15 minutes ahead of when you want something to happen.

This is a python script to set a tariff in the Tesla Powerwall setting that has a time period when you want to export power

Customer's of Amber Electricity in Australia may find this useful to automate times the battery can be forced to sell.

You'll need to install TeslaPY first to use this script. See: https://github.com/tdorssers/TeslaPy

Call the script with 6 paramaters.

hhmm1 hhmm2 p1 p2 p3 p4

hhmm1 is the start time for the peak period when you want to sell to the grid. This is 24 hour time e.g. 17:45 (for 15 minutes to 6pm) hhmm2 is the end time for the peak sell period.

p1 = the price you pay to import (buy) from the grid, outside of the peak period

p2 = the price you pay to export (sell) to the grid, outside the peak

p3 = the price you pay to import (buy) from the grid during the peak period.

p4 = the price you pay to export (sell) to the grid during the peak period.

example:

pw_forced_sell 1710 1835 10 -5 60 50

The peak period is 1710 to 1835 (5:10pm to 6:35pm) The offpeak buying price is 10 cents the offpeak selling price is minus 5 cents the peak buying price is 60 cents the peak selling price is 50 cents.

The Powerwall needs to be in TBC (Time Based Control) mode for this to have any effect.
