Connecting Your Tesla

Grid Getter uses Tesla’s official OAuth authorization to connect to your Powerwall and solar system. You log in to Tesla directly — your Tesla password is never sent to or stored by Grid Getter.

Connect during onboarding

If you’re setting up your account for the first time, the onboarding flow will prompt you to connect Tesla after you complete your profile.

1. When the Connect Your Tesla step appears, click Connect Tesla

2. You’ll be redirected to Tesla’s login page

3. Enter your Tesla account email and password

4. Review the permissions Grid Getter is requesting:

   • Read your energy site data (live power, battery state, solar production)
   • Send commands to your Tesla system (battery reserve, operational mode)

5. Click Allow to authorize Grid Getter

6. You’ll be redirected back to Grid Getter

7. Select your site — if you have multiple Tesla energy sites, choose the one you want to manage

8. Click Continue to go to the dashboard

Tip

If you manage multiple properties, you can add additional sites later from Settings → Integrations.

Reconnect Tesla

If your Tesla connection expires (you’ll see a banner at the top of the app), reconnect it from Settings:

1. Go to Settings → Integrations
2. Click Reconnect Tesla
3. Log in to Tesla and approve the connection
4. Return to Grid Getter — the banner disappears and live data resumes

Revoking access

You can revoke Grid Getter’s access to your Tesla account at any time:

• From Grid Getter: Go to Settings → Integrations and click Disconnect Tesla
• From Tesla: Log in to your Tesla account, go to Account → Third-Party Apps, and remove Grid Getter

After revoking access, your automations will stop running until you reconnect.
