Android alternative for Shortcuts

[Fatsat]

Hello, been driving my Air Pure for 3 weeks now. The vendor told me when delivering the car that there is no built-in scheduler in the app for turning on the AC yet so he figured out to schedule this through the IOS Shortcuts app. I am using a Pixel phone and am looking for an alternative for this app on the android platform. I've tried Macrodroid but seemingly there are no actions (unlock car, AC, open trunk, ...)this app can complete. Any solutions?

If you set up Home Assistant either with a Home Assistant Green or some other home server, you can spin up an automation for this in about five seconds.

LOL at home assistant and 5 minutes. That’s like saying the first step off the Grand Canyon is on 6 inches. HA can be a massive time sink. YAML mileage may vary.

I would have thought IFTTT on Android could do this somehow, maybe by controlling Google Assistant, but that looks convoluted. If it were possible to do straight from the phone though, my money would be on IFTTT.

The Google Home app could do this, but you'd have to first expose the Lucid's controls to Google through Home Assistant and the Lucid integration that @borski and @segbrk created.

couldn't IFTTT do this?

I said you can set up the automation in five seconds. That part is true.

Setting up home assistant takes an hour or two, if not less.

Setting up all your integrations and making it do everything you want? That can take longer and is dependent on your home, but doesn’t have to happen all at once and isn’t necessary for this automation to work.
