Hardware needed #111
Description
So far I got the software running, will try to create the key tonight.
What I did not get yet: do I need extra equipment for the communication with the Tesla?
My setup:
Tesla MY and TWC3 in carport, about 20m away from my house. Wifi is available there.
Mini PC running evcc and everything is inside the house.
Do I need a Bluetooth Gateway? Will the TWC3 work as a Gateway?
If I need a Bluetooth Gateway, does anyone have a recommendation on what to use?
Thank you for your support!

Hi, to communicate with your Tesla MY using TeslaBleHttpProxy, the device running it (e.g., your Mini PC) must be within Bluetooth range (~5-10m) of the car. Since your Mini PC is 20m away, you’ll need a Bluetooth Gateway like a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W or Raspberry Pi 4 in the carport, running TeslaBleHttpProxy. The TWC3 cannot act as a gateway. Configure EVCC to connect to the Raspberry Pi’s IP. Follow the repo’s setup guide for key generation and installation.
