Not Orbit Related- HomeKit

[Partridge]

I just migrated my rather smallish Apple HomeKit setup to a new device (raspberry pi) and it has advanced leaps and bounds past where it was when I last set up a server.

Now there’s a web interface for setup, almost everything is automated, and….. there’s a VolvoCars plugin.

It takes the credentials from your login for the app and then gives you control over it in HomeKit.

So, for example, I can set an automation to make sure my car is locked at night.

But even better, instead of having to open the app and authenticate and navigate to the engine start page, or find the app on my watch and swipe to the remote start tile, I can just say:

“Hey Siri, start My Volvo”.

And it starts.
