The official repository describes an Elixir application that stores vehicle data in PostgreSQL, visualizes it through Grafana dashboards, and publishes vehicle data to MQTT for home-automation integrations. ### Project history TeslaMate was initially authored by Adrian Kumpf and later maintained under the teslamate-org organization. The changelog shows a 1.0.0 release on July 25, 2019, while the official README now identifies Jakob Lichterfeld as main maintainer and warns users to obtain TeslaMate only from the official repository and documentation. ### Adoption history The project spread through the self-hosted and Tesla-owner communities because it gives users local control over long-term vehicle telemetry, charging data, locations, and dashboards. Its Docker-first documentation, Raspberry Pi-friendly deployment history, MQTT integration, and import paths from TeslaFi and tesla-apiscraper made it attractive to home-lab users. ### How it is used In package-manager culture, TeslaMate is unusual because the package is less about a single short-lived CLI command and more about running a long-lived local service. Homebrew exposes executables for managing the application, while the official installation path centers on Docker Compose with PostgreSQL, Grafana, and Mosquitto. ### Why package nerds care TeslaMate matters to package nerds as a self-hosted service that escaped the usual web-app deployment niche and became scriptable, reproducible infrastructure for personal telemetry. It also illustrates why package provenance matters: the official README warns about deceptive websites and unofficial apps that may risk Tesla credentials and vehicle data. ### Timeline - 2019: v1.0.0 released on July 25, 2019. - 2024: Project metadata and changelog links show the move from adriankumpf/teslamate to teslamate-org/teslamate around the 1.28.x line. - 2026: GitHub page lists v4.0.1 as latest release on June 14, 2026. - 2026: Official Docker docs recommend secured access for instances reachable outside the home network. ### Related projects - TeslaMate is commonly used with PostgreSQL, Grafana, MQTT brokers such as Mosquitto, Home Assistant, Node-RED, TeslaFi imports, and tesla-apiscraper imports. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager lists Homebrew packaging. ## Security Notes formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** teslamate - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Database and data packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/database-data-tools/) - Matched database, SQL, migration, or data-store metadata. - [openssl@3](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openssl-3/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [elixir](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/elixir/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [erlang](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/erlang/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [node](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/node/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [go-hass-agent](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-hass-agent/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, home-automation, mqtt, productivity. - [homeassistant-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/homeassistant-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, home-automation, productivity. - [filebrowser](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/filebrowser/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, self-hosted. - [karakeep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/karakeep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, self-hosted. - [miniflux](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/miniflux/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, self-hosted. - [openclaw-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openclaw-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, self-hosted. - [openlist](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openlist/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, self-hosted. - [a2ps](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/a2ps/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
