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.
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.

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.
Thank you for the replies. I will pass on the home assistant for now, I figured it out through the Macrodroid application eventually. If anyone is interested, see my setup below.
Explanation:
I setup my phone so it doesn't require any passcode/biometrics when I am at home through the "Extend unlock" feature which is inside my phone's settings.
My trigger is the time I want to turn on the AC.
The "long click" is to unlock my phone.
The "click" is to turn on the AC inside the app, which is setup to 20°C.
The waiting of 15sec is to make sure the app is fully loaded.
If someone has any questions, send me a dm.
