The Tessie integration exposes various commands and sensors from the Tesla vehicles and energy products connected to your Tessie subscription.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
cover | Window, door | |
climate | Thermostat | |
lock | Lock | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
media_player | Media player (as switches) | Only TVs and receivers get a TV tile; other players show as power and play switches; Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (contact, occupancy) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |

device_tracker | Presence (as an occupancy sensor) |
What people report
Tessie links Tesla vehicles and Powerwalls through its cloud API. Data may stall while the car sleeps and passenger temperature cannot be set.

| Tesla Powerwall 2/3 | Works Cloud | Energy history sensors addedSaved copyProposed change Adds energy history sensors and coordinator to the tessie integration, enabling Tesla Powerwall/Solar energy tracking in Home Assistant Energy Dashboard. This matches the teslemetry integration's energy history support, providing parity across both Tesla integration options. Implements 21 energy sensors with 60-second polling interval, aggregating daily energy flows across multiple vectors (solar, battery, grid, consumer). Energy history coordinator only activates on sites with battery or solar components.

Limitations from the docs
- Passenger temperature control: The passenger set temperature is shown as a sensor but cannot be changed through Tessie or Home Assistant. Only the driver's temperature can be controlled.
- Field update frequency: Some vehicle data fields may not update frequently depending on your Tessie subscription tier and field configuration settings.
- No reconfiguration: The integration cannot be reconfigured through the UI. To change your API token or settings, you must remove and re-add the integration.
- Software updates: Vehicle software updates can only be installed from Home Assistant after they have finished downloading to the vehicle.
- Keep accessory power state: Tessie does not report whether keep accessory power mode is currently active, so it is exposed as separate enable and disable buttons rather than a switch. Automations can turn it on or off, but cannot check its current state.
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
