Tesla Alfred Workflow

A workflow for interacting with a Tesla vehicle via the unofficial Tesla JSON API

Screenshot

Requirements

• Alfred 3
• Alfred 3 Powerpack (paid upgrade — it's worth it!)

Installation

• Download the latest github release and open it with Alfred

Software Updates

• This workflow auto-updates to the latest release by checking the repository once daily and prompting the user to install the update.
• You can also force update with magic argument: tesla workflow:update

Usage

• The keywords for Tesla Alfred Workflow are: tesla and tesla-activate
  • tesla-activate to set one of your Tesla vehicles as the active one to use with this workflow
  • tesla to interact with the active vehicle

Development

After changing the source files and/or snippet files, you'll need to export the project as a .alfred3workflow file.

I've included in this repository a modified gist from here to build and export the workflow (workflow-build.py). It includes dependencies that you'll need to install. Here's a recommended workflow:

• virtualenv ~/.envs/workflow-build creates a virtual environment so you can install the dependencies in their own sandbox
• source ~/.envs/workflow-build/bin/activate activates the virtual environment
• cd tesla-alfred-workflow moves you to the repo directory
• pip install -r requirements.txt installs the dependencies in this sandbox (leaving your global/system python alone)
• python workflow-build.py -o output_dir . exports the current repo directory as a .alfred3workflow file, excluding the following patterns:

EXCLUDE PATTERNS
*.pyc
*.log
.DS_Store
*.acorn
*.swp
*.sublime-project
*.sublime-workflow
*.git
*.dist-info
*.egg-info
*.gif
README.md
workflow-build.py
requirements.txt
*.idea

You can add more patterns in the workflow-build.py file to exclude new file types that you don't want packaged in the zip file.
