homebridge-onstarHomebridge plugin for managing cars via OnStar
homebridge-onstar (OnStar Accessory)
Homebridge support for OnStar!
Use at your own risk. This is an unofficial plugin.
Configuration
Basic Config (Climate)
{
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "OnStar",
"name": "Car",
"deviceId": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
"vin": "1G2ZF58B774109863",
"username": "foo@bar.com",
"password": "p@ssw0rd",
"onStarPin": "1234"
}
]
}
Use a random version 4 uuid as a deviceId. Generator avaiable here.
With this config, a climate control (remote start) switch will be available in the Home app.
Siri Command: "Turn on the Car climate"
Additional Config Options
Lock/Unlock Doors Switch
"enableDoors": true
Enables locking/unlocking the vehicle doors.
Querying the current state of locks through OnStar is slow, so the switch will always reset to a locked state.
Siri command: "Unlock the Car"
Reset Doors Switch to an Unlocked State
"doorsDefaultToUnlocked": true
Default the doors switch to an unlocked state.
Charger Switch
"enableCharger": true
Enable a switch that will set the vehicle charge mode to immediate (for EV/PHEV). Turning the switch off does nothing.
Siri command: "Turn on the Car charger"
Alert Switch
"enableAlert": true
Enable a switch that triggers an alert for the vehicle (horn + lights flashing).
Siri command: "Turn on the Car alert"
Notes
- Toggling switches off is possible using Siri/Shortcuts/Scenes
- When secret keys are rotated by MyChevrolet/OnStar, the plugin may stop working until the keys are updated.
- homebridge-onstar will return success once requests are considered In Progress. As such, OnStar request failures after the initial request are made won't be handled.
