I began by working on setting up the Tesla API to check when the charging port opens and closes. This has taken a long time as Tesla needs a ton of different verification keys and I wanted to have everything hosted on my domain (matthewglasser.org) instead of using something like ngrok. I got data polling working, but it’s very expensive, and I will have to poll very often, so I’m currently working on switching to Fleet Telemetry, which will stream data constantly for cheaper. This requires even more authenication keys but I think I almost have it.

My plan for tomorrow is to begin working on the hardware to detect the garage door opening and to control the stepper motor to actually move the cable, and then I will hook it up to the Tesla API after the other sensors work because that will be easiest
