Agreed; my post is old and these are the latest.

I'm so glad there is a first-party zwave solution now too.

Same; I'm still on the Zooz and the ConBee3 but one day I'll upgrade.
 
I’m a Homa Assist Luddite. I understand it HA can be used to open a garage door as the car approaches using GPS, correct? Could it also be used to fold the mirrors on the car as it approaches the garage door entrance?

1) Yes, some have done this
2) There doesn't seem to be a way to fold the mirrors remotely.
 
Throwing this out there for ideas because I have one HA automation I use. I have a routine in the morning that means when I open my backyard door, I’m roughly 10 minutes from leaving for work. Since the lucid app sometimes takes a couple minutes to connect to my car at home, and you can’t set climate until it’s awake, the automation wakes the car, waits for feedback to confirm its awake, then sets climate and heated seats based on cabin temp (usually to warm the car).

My big wish is that passive lock/unlock setting was available through this api, as I’d love to use that to disable passive at home. The car is quite close to the house so it’s constantly locking and unlocking.
 
I’m very dumb. But I was able to get this going and integrated into my dash board over the past week or so. I love it. Honestly I believe it has a better response time than the lucid app? Am I just hallucinating that the speedy response time?
 
Yeah, I love the integration. It seems that way for me, too. I added a widget to unlock my door, and it's a lot more responsive than going through the Lucid app. I currently have my ratgdo set up to close my garage door when my car leaves the Home zone. However, sometimes it doesn't seem to update my location when I leave the house in the morning. It's not consistent in this behavior, though. Other times, it updates the location fine. My understanding that it polls every 15-30 secs, and by watching my car's location in the HomeAssistant app, it does seem to update about every 20-25 secs.

Lately the phone app has just presented me with a spinning circle when I try to lock or unlock my Gravity, though it will usually respond if I just click through the circle. I have to do this frequently to plug or unplug the charging cable at home. It's faster to just lock or unlock the car by asking Google to do it via Home Assistant.

I have my L2 charging scheduled for 12:01 am. If it has not finished by 5:59 I want a routine to stop it. How do I do that?
When I am home, I want passive lock/unlock disabled, all Windows Down and the car turned off after I close the door, without locking. How do I do that?
When I leave the house, I want the low beams headlights on. How do I do that?

Since this is the Home Assistant Automation thread I'll assume you're asking these questions in the context of HA. Some of this is possible with HA, some of it is not.

Do you have HA deployed with the Lucid integration installed and functioning? That would be the first step. Once you have it running, poke around and see what's possible with the automation engine.
 
So I have the Lucid HA installation. So far it is a bunch of sensors and switches. I have no idea how to set up specific automations.
 
The first one is pretty straightforward, you can even tie it to when the car is home so I won’t do it if you travel. The other two aren’t possible given what the API provides as controls. You can command unlock, but can’t change passive settings.

Spirit of this thread, I just made a simple notification script for my wife’s Rivian which has a similar API but less control than we have.

If vehicle is home, SOC <95% (LFP battery) and not plugged in after 8PM it will send a reminder to both of our phones to remind to plug in, and it shows the current SOC in the notification.
 
Here is what I see as things available to control.

Some of you aren’t just dreaming home assistant automations into Claude Code every day and it shows. Do I know what yaml is? No. Do I have several yaml things running at all times? Of freaking course I do!

This! TLDR - use Claude code!
I set up my lucid and home assistant a year and a half ago manually. Got a few basic automations running, but had lots of issues getting my Tesla added. Tried for several hours without success. Had finally given up. Two weeks back I found out about integrating Claude code into HA.
I had used quite a bit of Claude and some of Claude cowork to that point, but had never tried Claude code. But used Claude to help me integrate Claude code and the basics to get started.
It got my Tesla integrated within 10 minutes, and I was able to create a custom dashboard exactly how I wanted it within 30 minutes. Then I got several complicated automations going - all basically correct on first shot.
My next project when I get time is to revamp my lucid dashboard.
Have already done more with my HA setup in last two weeks than I did in last year and a half that I had home assistant!
 
I found that I could get Co-pilot to create some code for me, however, you make is sound like Claude is integrated with HA. If so, how do that? Now that I think about, it is probably a question to ask Claude. 🤪
