Are you ready to unlock the secrets of your Tesla Wall Connector and get the most out of your app? In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the process of connecting to your Tesla Wall Connector using the Tesla One app and retrieving its IP address for use in the Wall Monitor app. But before we dive in, make sure you have:

Using an Old Wall Connector Firmware?
If your Wall Connector is running older firmware and doesn't support the Tesla One app setup, don't worry! Our legacy guide has got you covered. Simply follow the instructions for manually connecting to the Wall Connector's local Wi-Fi network and finding its IP via your browser.
Step 1: Download the Tesla One App
Get started by downloading the Tesla One app from the App Store. This is where the magic begins!
Step 2: Open the App & Sign In
Launch the Tesla One app, tap "External Partner," and sign in with your Tesla account credentials. Easy peasy!
Step 3: Start Wall Connector Setup
Tap the "More" tab at the bottom of the screen, select "Tesla Device Setup," and let the setup process begin.
Step 4: Scan QR or Enter Wi-Fi Details
Use your phone to scan the QR code on your Wall Connector's setup guide or manually enter the Wi-Fi SSID and password from the guide. If you're missing the guide, don't worry – we've got a FAQ for that!
Step 5: Connect to Your Wall Connector
Follow the in-app steps to connect your phone to the Wall Connector's Wi-Fi. Wait patiently as the app completes the pairing and setup.
Step 6: View Wi-Fi Settings
Once connected, tap the "Wi-Fi" row inside the app to view your current network or connect to your home Wi-Fi. Tap the active Wi-Fi to view network details, including the IP address.
Step 7: Copy the IP Address
