How do I automate turning on the climate system in a Tesla?

[kchiem]

I'm sure this is a user error, as I'm able to click on the climate UI in the web browser for the car, and it works there, but from what I google online about automating it, this service call should work:

service: climate.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: climate.x3_hvac_climate_system
data: {}

But instead, I get an unknown error:

I just tried it on my model 3 and it worked fine

service: climate.turn_on
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: climate.tesla_m3_hvac_climate_system

Did you try using the developer tools - Service to create the YAML for you and see if that works?

[kchiem]

That's exactly what I did, and the error above is what I got from it.

[skipishere]

Is that the only command that fails? Given that under the covers the button will action the some service call it implies something environmentally wrong (I'm also assuming you're on the latest version v3.24.1 v3.24.0)

*Edit managed to accidentally put wrong version in

[kchiem]

climate.set_hvac_mode fails for some modes as well. I'm on the latest HA and HACS doesn't show anything needing update, but the Tesla integration there shows v3.24.0.

https://github.com/alandtse/tesla/releases

Also shows that v3.24.0 is the latest release. Do I need to update to v3.24.1? And if so, how?

[skipishere]

Whoops typo on my part, should be v3.24.0
I assume you can perform other actions, such as opening charging port/unlock car?
