Controls — SoCrates

Tesla Powerwall Controls

Tesla-native manual controls for reserve, operating mode, Storm Watch, and grid/export behavior.

Loading Powerwall control state...

Write scope required. Reconnect Powerwall in Settings and approve Tesla energy_cmds scope.

Temporary Override

Apply a Tesla-native charge, hold, or export recipe with an explicit expiry. SoCrates stores the current site policy and reverts automatically when the window ends.

No temporary override is active. Choose a recipe and duration to apply one safely.

Advanced Dispatch (TOU)

Preview or apply Tesla time_of_use_settings payloads without pretending direct dispatch. Preview checks SoCrates payload safety only; Tesla still validates tariff semantics when you apply.

Payload JSON

Preview validates payload shape, size, and unsafe keys before apply.

Solar Topology Diagnostics

For AC-Coupled Solar Users: If your solar panels connect to a separate inverter rather than directly to the battery inverter, your setup is "AC-coupled". Some providers expose that production in a meter or generation channel instead of a PV field. Use these tools to identify which telemetry source represents your solar production.

Leave this blank unless you need an explicit mapping. The list starts with common candidates and gets richer after you run variable discovery or live diagnostics.

1. Run live diagnostics Click Get All Real-Time Data while solar is producing.

2. Check the recommendation The panel suggests the most likely field, usually meterPower2.

3. Save only if needed Use a manual mapping only when auto-detect is wrong for your firmware.

AC Solar Field

How to Use These Diagnostics

Step 1: Click "Discover Available Variables" to see what data your device exposes.

Step 2: During solar production hours (midday), click "Get All Real-Time Data".

Step 3: Check the "API Response" panel above for:

pvPower - DC-coupled solar (normal setup)
meterPower and meterPower2 - Meter channels (may be AC-coupled solar)
batChargePower - Battery charging rate
gridConsumptionPower - Grid import

Analysis: If pvPower ≈ 0 but battery is charging and no grid import, energy comes from AC-coupled solar (check which meterPower* has positive value).

Next Step: Share the output with support to configure the correct solar source.
