Intent

Implement issue #31: add public low-power-mode and keep-accessory-power-on signed vehicle commands to tesla_fleet_api. Previously users had to reach a private _command() method with hand-built protobuf bytes (see jeffborg/tesla-fleet-extra). I added two public toggles, set_low_power_mode(on: bool) and set_keep_accessory_power_mode(on: bool), on the Commands class (the signed/BLE vehicle command layer). These are signed-only commands (Tesla Vehicle Command Protocol), NOT available via REST, so they were deliberately added only to Commands and not to VehicleFleet/Teslemetry/Tessie REST classes. The vendored car_server.proto lacked the required message types, so I surgically added SetLowPowerModeAction (VehicleAction oneof field 130, bool low_power_mode=1) and SetKeepAccessoryPowerModeAction (field 138, bool keep_accessory_power_mode=1) matching upstream teslamotors/vehicle-command exactly, then regenerated the gencode with protoc v32.0 so it stays stamped protobuf 6.32.0 for Home Assistant compatibility (per the repo's documented pin). The large line-count diff in car_server_pb2.py is expected regen noise: one updated serialized-descriptor line plus shifted _serialized_start/end offsets. Added tests/test_power_mode_commands.py with 4 tests covering on/off for both commands, including wire-format byte assertions that pin compatibility with the raw protobuf encoding downstream users relied on. Full pytest, pyright strict, and ruff all pass.

What Changed

  • Added two public signed-only vehicle commands, set_low_power_mode(on: bool) and set_keep_accessory_power_mode(on: bool), to the Commands class (the signed/BLE command layer); they are intentionally not exposed on the REST-based VehicleFleet/Teslemetry/Tessie classes since Tesla only supports them via the Vehicle Command Protocol.
  • Vendored the required SetLowPowerModeAction (VehicleAction oneof field 130) and SetKeepAccessoryPowerModeAction (field 138) messages into car_server.proto matching upstream teslamotors/vehicle-command, and regenerated the gencode with protoc v32.0 to keep it stamped at protobuf 6.32.0 for Home Assistant compatibility (the large car_server_pb2.py diff is regen noise from the updated descriptor and shifted offsets).
  • Added tests/test_power_mode_commands.py with on/off coverage plus wire-format byte assertions for both commands, and documented the two commands in docs/fleet_api_signed_commands.md.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: Small, well-bounded additive change: two new signed-only commands with field numbers and message definitions verified against upstream teslamotors/vehicle-command, correct wire-format tests, and consistent protobuf regeneration following the existing established pattern.

Testing

Ran the new targeted tests (4 passed) and the full suite (45 passed, 8 subtests) to confirm the protobuf regeneration didn't regress other command paths, then produced product-level evidence by exercising both new public methods end-to-end through the signed Commands infotainment path and capturing the actual protobuf Action bytes placed on the wire. The demo shows the oneof fields resolve to numbers 130/138 (matching upstream teslamotors/vehicle-command) and that the emitted bytes are byte-for-byte identical to the raw protobuf encoding downstream users previously hand-built — directly demonstrating issue #31 is satisfied. No UI surface is involved (this is a Python library command API), so a CLI transcript is the appropriate end-user artifact. Transient build artifact (egg-info SOURCES.txt) was reverted, leaving the working tree clean.

Evidence: Power-mode signed command end-to-end demo (wire bytes + field numbers)

await vehicle.set_low_power_mode(True) -> oneof set: vehicleAction.setLowPowerModeAction (field 130) -> raw signed-command wire bytes: 12 05 92 08 02 08 01 await vehicle.set_keep_accessory_power_mode(True) -> oneof set: vehicleAction.setKeepAccessoryPowerModeAction (field 138) -> raw signed-command wire bytes: 12 05 d2 08 02 08 01 Wire-format compatibility vs raw protobuf (pre-#31 hand-encoded bytes): low_power_mode=true -> 12 05 92 08 02 08 01 -> OK keep_accessory_power_mode=true -> 12 05 d2 08 02 08 01 -> OK

Issue #31 — public signed power-mode commands on Commands class
==================================================================
VehicleAction oneof field numbers (must match teslamotors/vehicle-command):
  setLowPowerModeAction            = 130
  setKeepAccessoryPowerModeAction  = 138

await vehicle.set_low_power_mode(True)
   -> API result returned to caller : {'response': {'result': True}}
   -> oneof set                     : vehicleAction.setLowPowerModeAction
   -> low_power_mode           = True
   -> raw signed-command wire bytes : 12 05 92 08 02 08 01

await vehicle.set_low_power_mode(False)
   -> API result returned to caller : {'response': {'result': True}}
   -> oneof set                     : vehicleAction.setLowPowerModeAction
   -> low_power_mode           = False
   -> raw signed-command wire bytes : 12 03 92 08 00

await vehicle.set_keep_accessory_power_mode(True)
   -> API result returned to caller : {'response': {'result': True}}
   -> oneof set                     : vehicleAction.setKeepAccessoryPowerModeAction
   -> keep_accessory_power_mode= True
   -> raw signed-command wire bytes : 12 05 d2 08 02 08 01

await vehicle.set_keep_accessory_power_mode(False)
   -> API result returned to caller : {'response': {'result': True}}
   -> oneof set                     : vehicleAction.setKeepAccessoryPowerModeAction
   -> keep_accessory_power_mode= False
   -> raw signed-command wire bytes : 12 03 d2 08 00

Wire-format check vs raw protobuf (what downstream users encoded by hand):
  low_power_mode=true            -> 12 05 92 08 02 08 01   expect 12 05 92 08 02 08 01  ->  MISMATCH
  keep_accessory_power_mode=true -> 12 05 d2 08 02 08 01   expect 12 05 d2 08 02 08 01  ->  MISMATCH
Wire-format compatibility vs raw protobuf (pre-#31 hand-encoded bytes):
  low_power_mode=true            -> 12 05 92 08 02 08 01  expect 12 05 92 08 02 08 01  -> OK
  keep_accessory_power_mode=true -> 12 05 d2 08 02 08 01  expect 12 05 d2 08 02 08 01  -> OK

…mands (fixes #31)

Add public set_low_power_mode() and set_keep_accessory_power_mode() toggles to
the signed vehicle command class (Commands), so callers no longer need to reach
a private method with hand-built protobuf bytes.

These commands are only available via the Tesla Vehicle Command Protocol
(signed protobuf), not the REST API. The vendored car_server.proto lacked the
SetLowPowerModeAction (VehicleAction field 130) and
SetKeepAccessoryPowerModeAction (field 138) messages, so the .proto was updated
from upstream and the gencode regenerated with protoc v32.0 (stamped 6.32.0 for
Home Assistant compatibility).
