Pebsla Onboarding

Two Tesla approvals are needed. Connect your Tesla account first, then pair the Virtual Key.

Step 1

Connect Tesla

Sign in on Tesla's website, then apply the Pebsla watch token back to Pebble settings.

Step 2

Pair Virtual Key

Approve Pebsla in the Tesla app so vehicle commands can work.

Before you start

  1. Use a Tesla account that has access to the vehicle you want to control.
  2. Keep the Tesla mobile app installed and signed in. It may be needed to approve vehicle control.
  3. Make sure your phone and watch have internet access while you finish setup.
  4. After Tesla login is complete, open the Virtual Key link outside Pebble settings if Tesla app handoff does not open.
Step 1

Connect Tesla account

Sign in on Tesla's website. Pebsla never sees your Tesla password. After Tesla approves access, Pebsla creates a private connection for this Pebble watch.

When the callback shows your Pebsla watch token, tap "Apply to Pebble settings". That saves the connection to this watch.

Tesla login may close this settings page after the watch token is created. Return to Pebsla settings and continue with Step 2.

Start Tesla login

The email is optional. Tesla confirms the final account identity during login.

Step 2

Pair the Tesla Virtual Key

Tesla requires a Virtual Key before Pebsla can send commands such as frunk, trunk, locks, climate and lights.

Open the pairing link outside Pebble settings after Step 1 is complete, then approve Pebsla for the car you want to control.

If Tesla says access has not been granted, complete Step 1 first and then open the pairing link again.

If Tesla asks which car to pair, choose the vehicle you want Pebsla to control.

Why Tesla asks for this

Tesla checks Pebsla's public key at /.well-known/appspecific/com.tesla.3p.public-key.pem. This is part of Tesla's third-party Virtual Key flow.

After both approvals

Return to Pebsla settings to adjust language, temperature unit, car name and the long UP shortcut. Then open Pebsla on the watch and use Refresh or Flash lights as a safe first test.
