Live Dashboard (Android)
The Live Dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. Scroll down to see all sections. Pull down from the top to force a refresh.
Data updates automatically every 60 seconds — the same rate Tesla’s API provides live data.
Power Flow
Section titled “Power Flow”The Power Flow card shows where electricity is moving right now: solar → battery, grid → home, battery → home, etc. Animated lines indicate the direction of flow.
What each node shows:
- Solar — current solar production in kW
- Battery — state of charge (%) and charge/discharge rate (kW)
- Grid — grid import (drawing from grid) or export (sending excess to grid)
- Home — total home consumption in kW
Energy mode
Section titled “Energy mode”Below the flow diagram, you can switch your Powerwall’s operating mode:
- Self-Powered — use solar and battery before drawing from the grid
- Time-Based Control — charge or discharge based on electricity rates
- Backup-Only — hold battery reserve for outages, don’t discharge to home
Tap the mode button to switch. A confirmation dialog appears if you have an active DemandGuard automation — you can stop DemandGuard or proceed with the mode change.
Today’s Automations
Section titled “Today’s Automations”This card lists your automations and shows which ones are scheduled to run today. Tap View All to go to the full Automations screen. Tap Create if you haven’t set one up yet.
Charts
Section titled “Charts”Scroll past Today’s Automations to see two charts:
Battery Chart — battery state of charge over time. Switch time ranges with the chips above the chart.
Power Chart — solar production, grid import/export, battery usage, and home load over time. Same time range controls as the battery chart.
Both charts support zooming: pinch to zoom in, or tap a custom range control if available.
Battery
Section titled “Battery”The Battery section (labeled “Battery”) shows:
- State of charge — current battery percentage
- Energy mode — current operating mode (Self-Powered, Time-Based, Backup-Only)
- Battery reserve — the minimum charge % your battery holds in reserve
Adjusting the reserve
Section titled “Adjusting the reserve”Tap the reserve slider in the Battery Reserve card to change your minimum reserve. Tap Save to apply. The change takes effect within about 30 seconds.
DemandGuard
Section titled “DemandGuard”If you have a DemandGuard subscription with an active DemandGuard automation, this section appears below the Battery section.
It shows:
- Whether DemandGuard is currently monitoring (inside a peak demand window) or waiting (outside peak hours)
- Your configured demand threshold (kW)
- Your current grid draw
- Whether DemandGuard has taken action recently
Tap Configure to go directly to DemandGuard settings.
Next Demand Period
Section titled “Next Demand Period”This card shows a countdown to your next DemandGuard monitoring window. Only visible when you have a DemandGuard automation configured.
Tesla disconnected
Section titled “Tesla disconnected”If your Tesla connection has expired, a banner appears at the top of the dashboard. Tap Reconnect to start the Tesla authorization flow. See Tesla Connection.
Data Pause
Section titled “Data Pause”The dashboard pauses live data polling when the app has been in the background for an extended period. When you return, a full-screen overlay appears:
- Resume Data — restart polling immediately
- Ignore for 12 hours — dismiss the overlay and resume without resetting the pause timer (Premium/DemandGuard subscribers only)
Multiple sites
Section titled “Multiple sites”If your account has more than one Tesla site, a site selector appears at the top of the dashboard. Tap a site to switch. All data on the dashboard updates to reflect the selected site.
