@loglinefilmproduktion744 10 месяцев назад

Hey! Nice video! I have a question for an automation and couldn’t figure out if it’s possible. Sentry mode obviously used a lot of battery, but for me it’s a very useful tool. I would like to turn it off at my home location between 22:30 and 5:30 since no one is going to use the big parking garage at those times. So I did set up the automation for this time - brilliant. BUT let’s say I am out with friends and park the car in the city, I would like to have sentry mode on the whole time/ night. So I would need an automation that says, turn of sentry mode between 22:30 and 5:30 but only at this address.. Is anything like that possible? Thanks!

@MBrown 10 месяцев назад

Hi Mark, thanks for another great vid! I've got "shortcuts" on the iphone but despite using my tesla app a zillion times no tesla actions already show on "shortcuts" and i cant see how you can "add" tesla to the "shortcuts" app on the phone.... any ideas? Many thanks

@MBrown 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Nick! So please make sure all apps are updated on the app store as you need the latest version of the tesla app and 2023.26.8. Hope this helps

@MalBackTalkingTesla 10 месяцев назад

Mark how do you get your phone to show up show while filming looks really slick I notice you can’t delete lock or un lock tesla or rename it which is a real security issue as everyone has the same trigger to unlock Tesla where as all the other tesla short cuts can be removed or renamed

@MBrown 10 месяцев назад

Hey so I basically screen record the iPhone (you can do this within control centre or search in settings) I then send that video to my Mac and import it to Final Cut Pro (I have to add in the iPhone frame myself) - Yes I agree they need to improve these to allow renaming.

@tornadotj2059 10 месяцев назад

I set it all up, but when I tell my watch to lock my Tesla, it says I need to install an app on my watch. I can't figure out what's going on. Any idea?

@MBrown 10 месяцев назад

It will sync to your watch after around 2 hours

@md70 9 месяцев назад

Regarding confirmations, I believe you can create a custom shortcut (recipe) that would execute a tesla app shortcut but only after presenting you with a confirmation. You don't need to tie the siri command to a single tesla app task.

@scouper81 3 месяца назад

Very informative thanks…however like many people in comments my I watch Siri just fails. Like many say…asks me to download app or add key to wallet. You make it look easy in the video from the iwatch but I am 3 days in trying everything. The Tesla shortcut is showing up in app as being an active watch shortcut…???

@jayumcooper 10 месяцев назад

Nice video as always. Got it working on my phone, but watch is saying it requires an additional app and to search within the App Store. Any ideas?

@MBrown 10 месяцев назад

Hey Jay I found that it worked on my watch the next morning, I think it takes a couple of ours to sync up

@somewaresim 10 месяцев назад

Definitely not working on the watch. Are you sure your watch isn’t still using Watch app for Tesla, Mark? If I look on Shortcuts app on my watch is doesn’t have any shortcuts for apps that aren’t installed on watch. Shortcuts need to be shared with watch but I cannot see how to do that for Tesla shortcuts, only personal ones.

@jayumcooper 10 месяцев назад

@graemefletcher4358 9 месяцев назад

For those struggling with the apple watch, to get rhe shortucts app on the watch to show them, i think you need to go into details on each shortcut and turn on the 'show on apple watch' button. Hasnt resolved for mine yet but fingers crossed!

@MBrown 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip Graeme!

@PrivateHireGuy 10 месяцев назад

A question Mark. Why would someone precondition their battery each day at 8am (or any time for that matter)? Also, great video as always.

@MBrown 10 месяцев назад

Great question, so preconditioning the car helps warm up the batteries and apparently the car is more efficient once pre-conditioning for 15-30 mins before a long drive. So it could give you an extra few miles on a long journey. Not really worth it for a short one.

@greghudson9717 9 месяцев назад

@@MBrown G'Day again Mark. I'm more interested in preconditioning the battery rather than preconditioning the interior temperature. Do you know if you can do the battery ONLY ? Thanks, Greg.

@lightx500 4 месяца назад

You can set a confirmation before execution for open front boot for sure. Its very easy process

@MBrown 3 месяца назад

@@MBrownLeave the vehicle unselected and set the variable to always ask. 1. Tap on “Choose Vehicle” 2. Tap the arrow above your vehicle’s name. 3. Select “Ask each time”.

Hi Mark, when I ask Siri to open the boot of my car, it complies, but when I ask Siri to close the boot, it repeatedly asks for 'Tesla' or 'CarPlay.' My car does not have CarPlay. How can I resolve this issue so that Siri can close the boot without asking for 'Tesla' or 'CarPlay

@MBrown 8 месяцев назад

@greghudson9717 9 месяцев назад

Hi Mark (and everyone else). Any clues how to create a 'precondition battery ONLY shortcut' for those mornings when it's cool / cold outside ? The main reason I would like this is because my REGEN WARNING light comes on nearly every time I leave home (the car is usually at 100% because I have an LFP battery). I've heard this REGEN issue can happen because the battery is not warm enough - hence my need to precondition JUST the battery. I don't need or want the interior to be preconditioned which just uses up power. Thanks, Greg.

@MBrown 9 месяцев назад

Hey I don’t think this is possible, only with the temperature or you could navigate to a supercharger (but not actually go to one)

@rayfifo7016 8 месяцев назад

I agree 'precondition battery ONLY shortcut' would be nice. Note there's another reason REGEN DISABLED icon is on when the battery is at 100% independent of battery temperature. A battery should never be charged when at 100% SOC - doing so would destroy the battery.

@greghudson9717 8 месяцев назад

@@MBrown Hi again Matt. Navigating to a SC is a good idea, I've tried it a few times, BUT... I have to be IN the car and just about to go somewhere. I was hoping for a shortcut I could use on my iPhone (or watch) so I could precondition prior to leaving - say 10 to 15 mins before I leave). I see you can do it with the button you have stuck to the dashboard - but I don't have those, just my iPhone/watch... I wonder if it would be possible have one of those buttons set up in the house, so you could press it, and have the battery all nice and toasty before leaving? (It's just a thought - I have no idea if this is possible). Regards, Greg.

@greghudson9717 8 месяцев назад

@@rayfifo7016 G'Day Ray, and thanks for the reply. Yes, I am aware of the battery 100% full / regen light on issue. However my battery is an LFP battery which can be charged to 100% every day, and left like that on the Tesla home charger (which turns itself off after the battery is at 100% *AND* the BMS has rebalanced the cells).

Just programmed a shortcut on my wife's iPhone to "open the trunk" a.k.a. "boot". Right now, still struggling with trying to skip the confirmation question on her Apple watch before the command executes, because otherwise, it's pretty useless when arms are full of groceries. Anybody got the definitive answer of how to bypass the confirmation question on the watch so the voice command executes automatically?
