display_name is not publish on MQTT

[adamotte]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What happened?

I was browsing my teslamate MQTT topics for a 3rd party integration with the help of Teslamate documentation as I notice there is no teslamate/cars/$car_id/display_name topic.

Expected Behavior

Not sure if it's the "good" display name but i was expecting something similar to what I can read on my teslamate homepage.

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Relevant log output

No relevant output as everything else is working as expected.

Thanks for reporting.

You can find all the MQTT topic here: https://docs.teslamate.org/docs/integrations/mqtt

display name is the name you give your car via the touch screen in the menu

Others topics like :

teslamate/cars/$car_id/model
teslamate/cars/$car_id/trim_badging
teslamate/cars/$car_id/exterior_color
teslamate/cars/$car_id/wheel_type
teslamate/cars/$car_id/spoiler_type

are missing.

I wouldn't know how long, but in the first installation I did of teslamate, (Dec 2024) it did show that information. I think there has been neither teslamate nor mqtt updates.

I don't understand the issue here. I see all of those values in the referenced MQTT documentation, and I believe all of these values are being published to MQTT.

What is not working?

[JakobLichterfeld]

Your car need to be awake at least once to populate the values

Your car need to be awake at least once to populate the values

the values was populated when the app was, launched and configured the first time, but sometime later the values went to unknow.

Stopping the TESLAMATE docker stack, and deploying it again, the values are populated again and published in MQTT messages
