Note: This app is in maintenance mode. Tesla has transitioned to End-To-End encrypted commands for 2018+ models. This means commands (e.g., unlock, set charge limit) won't work on all Model 3, Y, or Cybertruck vehicles and will only work on the earlier Model S and X vehicles. Reading information (e.g. charge state on vehicles and power on Tesla Energy installations) still works. Take advantage of Apple Watch complications by displaying your vital Tesla vehicle and Powerwall information on your watch face. EV Watch makes important information like charge state, door locks, and temperature available at a glance! • Support for monitoring Tesla Energy Gateway to track grid, home, solar, and Powerwall status and usage • Support for advanced automation using Siri Shortcuts including fetching your vehicle temperature, charge status (miles, limit, charging time), and location. • Support for Apple Watch Complications to always see charge level, door locks, and temperature (with Series 4+ complication support) • Multi-Tesla support. Quickly switch between multiple vehicles. • Today extension shows quick Tesla location, charge, and temperature on your iPhone/iPad Today page • Secure - Tokens and Passwords (if remote start is enabled) are handled by the iOS Keychain. • Watch app is phone independent (after setup). • iPad support • Note complication updates can take 10-30 minutes due to the security and power considerations.
