Automations Your Tesla Was Born For

Connect your Tesla to Home Assistant and your home reacts to your car. CAILO streams 100+ real-time signals into your smart home, ready for automations. No YAML wrestling, just events your automations can trigger from.

Arrive Home

Garage opens, hallway lights turn on, HVAC kicks on the moment you turn into the driveway.

Solar Surplus to Charge

When your panels are pumping, CAILO tells your charger to divert excess solar straight to the Tesla.

Off-peak Charging

Hold the charge until cheap rates kick in. CAILO triggers your charger when your tariff drops.

Charging Reminders

Trigger a household alert when your Tesla battery runs low, so you’re never caught out before your next trip.

Comfort & Convenience

Start heating or cooling your Tesla 15 minutes before your scheduled calendar event.

Lock & Secure

Leaving the house? Lock doors and turn off lights when your Tesla leaves home.

The CAILO Difference

Tesla Data Without the DIY Headache

Other Tesla data tools mean self-hosting databases, fixing API breaks at midnight, and dashboards that look like server logs. CAILO is the modern, managed alternative built for Tesla owners who care how their setup looks and works. Connect your Tesla to Home Assistant without the DIY pain.

Push, Not Poll

CAILO uses the Tesla Fleet Telemetry API to push events the moment they happen. No polling delays, no missed triggers. Your automations fire when the car actually arrives, not 30 seconds later.

100+ Telemetry Signals

From the obvious (battery, location, charging) to the deep (HVAC zones, tyre pressure, individual door states, sentry events). Build automations no other tool can support.

Built-in Dashboard, No Grafana

A polished, consumer-grade interface for exploring your Tesla. Trip replays, speed profiles, charging analytics, all without spinning up a dashboarding stack on your Raspberry Pi.

Managed Service, Not Your Problem

When Tesla updates the API, we update CAILO. Your automations keep working. No 2am Postgres backups, no Docker container drift, no maintenance windows.

FAQ

Tesla Home Assistant FAQ

CAILO connects to your existing Home Assistant via MQTT auto-discovery. Your Tesla appears as native Home Assistant entities, ready to use in automations, dashboards, and scripts, with no custom YAML required. You keep running Home Assistant on your Raspberry Pi or hub of choice. CAILO replaces the self-hosted data collection layer and the maintenance that comes with it, so your automations keep working when Tesla updates the API.

CAILO delivers 100+ telemetry signals in real time including arrivals, departures, charging start/stop, battery level changes, climate state, door/window status, and location updates. Any of these can trigger automations via MQTT or webhooks.

Yes. CAILO supports any MQTT broker, so you can connect to Mosquitto, HiveMQ, or any MQTT-compatible system. You can also use webhooks to integrate with virtually any automation platform.

No. CAILO is a cloud-based, read-only integration that uses Tesla’s official Fleet API. It does not install anything on your vehicle, does not modify any systems, and has no impact on your warranty or battery life.

CAILO supports all Tesla models compatible with the Tesla Fleet API, including Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck. As Tesla expands API support, CAILO automatically gains access to new models.
