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.

Header weather

Once your site has weather data, a compact current-conditions chip appears in the dashboard header:

Temperature, next to an animated icon that matches current conditions — the sun turns, clouds drift, rain falls. A static icon shows instead if you’ve turned off system animations.
A short condition label, like “Clear” or “Partly Cloudy”
Wind speed and direction (“12 mph SW”)
Humidity

Temperature and wind speed follow the units you pick in Settings → Preferences.

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. Weather is a Premium feature — when it’s available the icon reflects current conditions and switches to a moon at night; otherwise it shows a sun.
Battery — state of charge, shown as a percentage inside the battery icon itself, 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

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. While DemandGuard is actively holding your home on grid power, the two mode buttons are replaced by a single DemandGuard pill — tapping it opens the same confirmation dialog, so you can still stop DemandGuard or proceed with the mode change, but the pill makes it clear DemandGuard, not your own mode setting, is in control right now.

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

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

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

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.

Weather Forecast

The weather section shows current conditions and an hourly forecast for your site, pulled from the National Weather Service every 30 minutes.

Location badge — city and state (e.g. “Phoenix, AZ”) based on your site coordinates. Falls back to raw coordinates if a city name isn’t available.
Current conditions — temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and recent precipitation
Temperature trend — a chart of the temperature curve and precipitation probability over the next 12 hours
Hourly forecast — scrollable timeline with temperature, weather icon, and precipitation chance for each hour
Solar impact — tells you how current cloud cover and precipitation are likely to affect solar production (e.g. “Clear skies — ideal for solar production”)

If data is older than 45 minutes, a “Stale” badge appears so you know the reading may be outdated.

Temperatures and wind speed display in Fahrenheit by default. Switch to Celsius (and km/h) from Settings → Preferences — the change applies here and to the header weather chip.

Paid subscribers who haven’t set a location yet will see a banner prompting them to add one in Settings.

Storm Watch

The Storm Watch card shows whether Tesla’s Storm Watch is currently active. When it’s on, your Powerwall charges to 100% and holds a high reserve to prepare for severe weather. Tesla decides when to activate Storm Watch based on conditions in your area — Grid Getter can toggle it on or off, but doesn’t control the charging behavior directly.

If you have a DemandGuard automation with Respect Storm Watch enabled, DemandGuard pauses until Storm Watch clears.

See Weather & Stormwatch for more detail.

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

This card shows a countdown to your next DemandGuard monitoring window. Only visible when you have a DemandGuard automation configured.

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

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

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.
