It would be great to have the ability to turn Storm Watch on and off.

For those of use on Time of Use power, Storm Watch is very much a double edged storm. I generally like to have storm watch on, but I don't want it to be charging the house batteries in the 4 hours of SUPER expensive power on week days.

If the Tesla HACs integration could turn Storm Watch on and off, I could set up HA to turn off storm watch at 2pm on weekdays and turn on storm watch at 6pm on weekdays-- only slightly decreasing the effectiveness of Storm Watch, but making it so I don't get hit by stupidly expensive bills randomly.

Any possibility of this happening?

Have you tried calling the API in developer tools -> services? Try

service: tesla_custom.api
data:
  email: <[email protected]>
  command: STORM_MODE_SETTINGS
  parameters:
    path_vars:
      site_id: <your_energy_site_id>
    enabled: true

This is a bit beyond my understanding of how to complete. Any chance you could point me in the direction of how to get started with the above?

in home assistant, on the left side bar click developer tools, then go to the services tab. Choose YAML mode. Paste the code in. Replace email and site id with your info then press call service

Final question (hopefully)... where does the site ID come from?

I don’t have power wall so can’t answer that question…. Maybe try googling. Or perhaps you can restart home assistant and then download the full log and search “tesla_custom”. My VIN came up a few times in the log.
