Getting started

From sign-up to your data in 5 steps

We explain what happens at each step and why it's needed, so you always know what you are authorising.

Step 1 of 5

Create your account

Sign up with your email and a password, then confirm your address with the code we send you.

Why it's needed

Your SentryNext account protects your data and your subscription. The email code verifies that the address really is yours.

Step 2 of 5

Connect your Tesla account

Log in with Tesla and approve the requested permissions.

Why it's needed

Tesla grants access to vehicle data and commands only to the owner, through its official APIs: without your authorisation SentryNext cannot see or do anything. You log in on Tesla's website: your Tesla password never passes through us.

You can revoke access at any time from your Tesla account.

Step 3 of 5

Choose the vehicle

Select the Tesla you want to connect from those on your account.

Why it's needed

This tells us which car to read data from and which one to send commands to. With multi-vehicle plans you can connect more than one.

The VIN is stored in encrypted form.

Step 4 of 5

Add the virtual key

Approve the request in the Tesla app: the virtual key is added to your vehicle.

Why it's needed

Every command is signed by SentryNext with a private key and sent encrypted. The vehicle only executes it if it can verify the signature with the virtual key you added yourself. These are the security standards set by Tesla itself: without a virtual key the car does not accept commands. This step is mandatory.

You can remove it at any time directly from the car: SentryNext services stop.

Step 5 of 5

Done: your dashboard is ready

Open the dashboard and start exploring.

What happens now

The car sends data on its own when it's online, without constant polling: no extra battery drain. The first data appears as soon as it connects.

Dashboard, trips, charging, consumption and battery health fill up over time.
