Remote S has some of these ready to roll
I see they have
start climate control
stop climate control
activate trunk
activate frunk
enable keyless start

 

Is that a separate app?

 

setting the climate control is basically the one feature I want from the Shortcuts app.

Please update it, Tesla!

 

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

Do they have one to unlock the charge port. Would love to unlock it while I walk up to the car. Currently wait for the app to load as I walk up

 

A surprisingly large number of Tesla owners aren't aware that you can simply press the single button on the charging cable....ANY Tesla charging cable (even at Superchargers)....and your charge port will open. This obviously works as long as the plug is within close proximity to your charge port.

Alternatively, you can simply give the charge port door a gentle press and it will open as well.

You're welcome.

 

Has anyone updated to iOS 12? Is it working with Tesla app version 3.5? I did not see notes in 3.5 that mention iOS 12 compatibility. Not ready to jump on iOS 12 yet...fear of bugs

 

I updated yesterday. Everything seems fine so far. I think Apple really pushed to squash bugs and increase performance for all devices that got this update.

 

I do wish that Tesla app is available on Apple Watch.

 

I have been on IOS 12 since June, I have had ZERO issues with my phone. Even with the earlier beta versions

 

I can vouch same as the others -- installed the GM version of iOS 12 as soon as it dropped last week (I don't mess with betas as my phone is too important to me). iOS 12 is solid and works perfectly with the Tesla app.

 

My wife is a type 1 diabetic and with ios 12 & the shortcuts app she can ask siri what her blood sugar is and she responds with the correct numbers. Hopefully someone can figure out how we can get the Tesla app to run commands in a similar way

 

Check it out!!!

 

Yep for sure. I've been playing with shortcuts for a few months and made some interesting stuff. I only started using the Remote S app a few days ago so haven't played with it too much yet.

 

Updated to iOS 12 3 days ago and seems to be perfect so far. I typically update day 1, but was out on vacation, wanted to at least have access to the Mac at home before updating. Will have to investigate the new shortcuts. I just don't use Siri much, but maybe it is becoming more useful.

 

Just found this morning from a FB post that indeed there are some basic shortcuts already built in to the Official Tesla app. One person reported that the functions that show up on the Widget are already enabled. I asked "Hey Siri What is the battery charge of My Tesla" and Siri retrieved the information and read it back. I also asked "Hey Siri Unlock My Tesla" and the car unlocked immediately.

Looks like the key is to use "My Tesla" to get the information from the app. Also it was reported that occasionally Siri will respond that you need to open the Tesla app, and it has once or twice for me, but that is some sort of bug. If you ask again you will likely get the answer you want.

Edit - I am on iOS 12 and the latest version of the Tesla app.

That's been in there for a while, and is really limited to just getting info from the car, such as "is my car locked?", "what is the battery level of my car?" and such.

Hopefully they update the Tesla app to add hooks for the Shortcuts app, which should enable things like turning on climate control.

 

That's fun! Do you know if you can turn on climate control with Siri?

 

Not yet but it's gotta come. Or at least I want it too!!!

 

Have not figured out the exact command yet if it will. Didn't play with it too long.

 

I made a shortcut last week that when asked, tells me how many days it has been since reserving the car, followed by a random comment/pun about the wait, tesla, etc.

"hey siri, how long has it been"
"it has been 908 days since you reserved the Model 3. Seems like just yesterday... in Elon-time".

That's also been in there forever. I'm talking about the new shortcuts app in iOS12. Allows you to automate actions based on (amongst other triggers) speaking a phrase to Siri.

So you could say "I'm headed home", and it would text your SO with an ETA, give you traffic conditions, and turn on the climate control without any further input.

Basically, it enables the future.

 

Pretty much everything you would want to do involving the Tesla can be done with the Remote S app. It has already been updated to take advantage of Siri and Shortcuts. Great app!

 

I just want to unlock the car and pop the trunk/frunk from my watch. Is that too much to ask?

 

Remote S has you covered.

 

A whole bunch of shortcuts were posted to Reddit recently, which you can input, edit, and use freely.
I like "Heat the car" and "Open the trunk" especially when walking up with your hands full of stuff....first legitimate use of Hey Siri?

 

Can any of these be setup where they try and invoke the Tesla app to wake the car beforehand or at least show that the car is sleeping and it won't work correctly ??? When the car is sleeping and I try and invoke the shortcut, it does not work and gives either an error or gives no value on the results.

 

you know this is exactly what @JWardell posted an hour ago, right?

 

The shortcut work for a while then suddenly I have this error message, “conversion error get dictionary value failed because shortcuts couldn't convert from text to dictionary”

I'm not sure if you ever found the answer to this, but I decided to play with the shortcuts a little tonight. First thing I did after opening one of the downloaded shortcuts was to add my ID and Password. I DID IT WRONG. In the second box down where it said tesla_email - I replaced that with my email. That is the mistake. That second box is setting a variable from the first text input box. So make sure and not to replace any of the text in the fields, but where is says Tesla_email and Tesla_password, enter your information in the box above that. It will take what you enter as text and save as the variable being defined in the next box. Mine are working now as long as the car is awake. If it is asleep though I get nothing.

 

I am getting the error that the Tesla app needs to be opened for the command to execute. Is Siri voice control still working for everyone else? I tried deleting and adding the app but that did not fix it.

 

the Tesla API Shortcuts do not require the app (I have been using them on my iPad, without the Tesla App).

 

I've spent hours on this... there are two things we are discussing.
#1. The Tesla app, which used to have Siri integration, has changed behavior starting 11/1/18. Now "unlock my car" prompts you to open the Tesla app. Prior to 11/1, Siri would just unlock the car.
#2. The second thing, which is a new app on the iPhone called "Shortcuts" has a bunch of pre-configured shortcuts (they are like scripts) that Siri can run, bypassing the app and logging directly into your Tesla account. So you can say "unlock my car" etc. This all has to be configured in the Shortcuts app (that's the name of it) which you can download for free from the app store.

More about the Shortcuts App:
Once it is installed, you can go to this page and click on the links in the sticky at the top to download the specific shortcuts you want, such as Open Charge Port:


You can save the shortcuts to your iPhone page so they appear as an app AND you can custom record Siri phrases (which is why this keeps getting confused with #1 above) so you can tell Siri "Prepare for Blastoff" and she will wake the car for you. I have not yet figured out how to string the shortcuts together. The guy who wrote all the shortcuts also has one for heading home from work, which wakes the car, sets temperature, calculates time to get home and texts his significant other (or cat) his ETA. VERY COOL.

Hope this helps someone else... it took me a while to figure this out but now I love it and am working on the Alexa integration so she can wake my car too.

 

I downloaded the Shortcuts App, but can't figure out how to do anything Tesla related. How do you download the scripts? Do you do it from the Shortcuts App? None of this is intuitive to me.

 

It's definitely not intuitive. No, you download it from the Reddit thread I posted above... click on the picture and you'll get to the thread... be sure you do this from your iPhone and then you click on the stickies at the top of the Reddit thread and you'll see the shortcuts like "unlock door" Hope this helps

 

From my iPhone 8 I go to your post on M3OC and touch on the image you posted. Takes me to reddit.com, where I see the exact same image you posted. A message pops up to use the Reddit App, or go to the mobile site. I select the mobile site, where I again see the exact same screen you posted. I click on the shortcut I want "Actuate Trunk", and it takes me to i.imgur.com, where I again see the exact same image of shortcuts. So, I again select the "Actuate Trunk" shortcut. Nothing happens.

 

FYI for anyone on Android, I started a related thread here https://teslaownersonline.com/threads/tasker.9715/
