Tesla Automations

Rule-based automation engine that monitors vehicle state and fires notifications or shell commands when conditions are met.

List Rules

tesla automations list           # show all configured rules (name, trigger, action, enabled)
tesla automations list --json    # machine-readable output

Add Rules

tesla automations add            # interactive wizard (name, trigger, condition, action)

Rules have three parts: a trigger (what to watch), a condition (threshold/value), and an action (notify or run command).

Default Rules

The following rules are available out of the box:

Rule name	Trigger	Default condition	Action
`battery_below`	battery SoC	< 20%	push notification
`charging_complete`	charge state	becomes `Complete`	push notification
`sentry_event`	sentry mode	new event detected	push notification

tesla automations add --preset battery_below    # add the 20% low-battery alert
tesla automations add --preset charging_complete
tesla automations add --preset sentry_event

Remove Rules

tesla automations remove <name>  # delete a rule by name
tesla automations enable <name>  # re-enable a disabled rule
tesla automations disable <name> # disable without deleting

Run Daemon

tesla automations run            # start the rules daemon (foreground)
tesla automations run --source auto  # auto-select best data source (TeslaMate → Fleet → Owner)
tesla automations run --interval 60  # poll every 60 seconds (default: 30)

The daemon polls vehicle state on the configured interval and evaluates all enabled rules.

Install as System Service

tesla automations install        # install as launchd (macOS) or systemd (Linux) service
tesla automations uninstall      # remove the service

Test a Rule

tesla automations test <name>    # fire the rule action once, regardless of conditions

Use this to verify notification delivery before enabling the rule in the daemon.

Status

tesla automations status         # daemon running? last evaluation? last fired rule?

Response Guidelines

If the CLI is not configured (no VIN, no auth), stop and tell the user to run /tesla:setup — never auto-configure
List rules first before suggesting add/remove operations
Suggest presets for the three most common use cases (battery_below, charging_complete, sentry_event)
Remind the user the daemon must be running (or installed as a service) for rules to fire
