Automations (Android)

The Automations screen lists all your active automations. Open it from the drawer (☰ → Automations) or from the Today’s Automations card on the Live Dashboard.

Automation types

Grid Getter supports three automation types. All three are available on the Android app.

Custom Schedule

Runs a battery reserve or energy mode change at a specific time on selected days of the week. Use this to pre-position your battery before peak hours or to take advantage of off-peak rates.

Peak Time

Automatically adjusts your battery reserve during utility peak rate windows. Configure your utility’s on-peak hours and the app handles the rest.

DemandGuard

Monitors your grid draw during a demand period and discharges your battery to keep you below a target demand threshold. Requires a DemandGuard subscription.

See the web docs automations section for full configuration details — the settings and options are identical between the app and the web.

Creating an automation

Tap the + button or Create automation on the Automations screen to start.

Enabling and disabling

Each automation card has a toggle switch. Tap it to enable or disable the automation without deleting it.

Editing and deleting

Tap an automation card to open its detail view. From there you can edit settings or delete the automation.

DemandGuard automation settings

DemandGuard has additional settings accessible from the Live Dashboard (DemandGuard → Configure) or from Settings → DemandGuard Configuration (if you have a DemandGuard subscription).

Settings include:

Target demand threshold (kW)
Demand period (the time window DemandGuard monitors)
Queries per minute (how often DemandGuard checks grid draw during a period)
Respect Storm Watch — pause DemandGuard when Tesla Storm Watch is active
