Awesome. I’ve been doing this a while. I was the guy that submitted this for your automations video. The only problem I have with it is when they update the Onstar plug in my car automations don’t work. I have to go into homebridge and manually update the plug in. That happens a few times a year. I like your idea of having the remote start be temperature dependent.

@SteveHinrichs 5 ай бұрын

I did this back in 2022 when I bought my Ford F150. The issue was that Ford knew I was using a 3rd party app to control my truck. In their terms and conditions they don’t allow 3rd party apps. They would lock me out of my Ford app and disable this feature on me. They would lock my account. What was cool when I had it working. I would use my Apple AirTags to scan my phone and start my truck. Just be careful and read the terms and conditions. They might lock you out of your account.

My concern is not owning the car and they force you to pay for a perpetual subscription for any app it’s already starting … I would like to see the auto companies allow us to run independent servers as we are paying for a 20k+ vehicle unlike the big tech firms …

Nice integration Shane. Great video as usual. I noticed you switched to the Orbi 970 from the TP-Link BE85. Any trouble with the TP-Link or did you switch because of sponsorship? I am asking because I have the TP-Link BE95 and am having quite a bit of trouble with it. Thanks.

Hey Shane, I added a water sensor to my house and put it on the Aqara app was good but how do you customize the place u want it?

Sensors only show in the top status section on the Home tab. In the home app, you can also customize rooms and you can add the sensor to whichever room you prefer in the sensor's settings.

Do I add the plug-in as a child bridge? How do I get the HK code?

@ShaneCreates 5 ай бұрын

I'd say it's probably a good practice to add new plugins as a child bridge. That way if you ever add a plugin that is a problem, it potentially won't mess up your entire HomeBridge instance. There should be a little bridge icon that you can click on (on the plugins page) that will display the QR code.

I can see my car. It works but spotty. If I add the child bridge will it double up the accessories in HK?

1:50 There's no such thing as quad band, it's tri band, but with two 5 GHz connections. It's also extremely overpriced. I'd also be a bad techie of I didn't point out that most devices don't support WiFi 6e, Wi-Fi 7 is a joke in almost every case. Even 8k streams, which should be wired, can run in on Wi-Fi 5 with plenty of overhead. These ad reads could use improvement and personalization.

@ShaneCreates 5 ай бұрын

Two 5 GHz bands, plus the 2.4 and 6 GHz bands, equals four bands... hence "quad" band. I do appreciate the feedback.
