Important: Due to updates in TeslaSolarCharger the spotpricecharger currently does not work as before. I am looking into the required changes to adopt to those changes. Until then it's best to disable the spotpricecharger.
Docker container to be added to an existing Teslamate and TeslaSolarCharger. It can initiate car charging (via TeslaSolarCharger) based on spot price (below a certain limit) up to defined state of charge (SoC) limit.
To use it just add it to the docker-compose.yml of your Teslamate installation. For example:
tsc-spotpricecharger:
image: andreasfaerber/tsc-spotpricecharger
container_name: tsc-spotpricecharger
restart: always
