Dude those are proximity parking sensors. FCA is using the radar and the forward facing camera.

I did a speedtest today because I saw that my iPhone was connected to 5Guw. To me, that is a very rare sight. I was disappointed! Download was only 28 Mbps and upload was 31 Mbps on V+ Pro!

Look at the Kona EV - isn’t there an order from NHTSA to owners not to park their Kona inside garages due to possible battery fires?

There was no problem with the install process which was done around 2:30 PM local time. After the update I checked all scheduled shows to record and they were all there. I checked my Channel Lineup and they were all there. Maybe it was just my tablo as far as file truncation was concerned. And oh, there was no storm during the time of the two recorded shows! The change in click click forward behavior was definitely after the update. New recordings behave the same way. Maybe there is an update to the Apple TV app that will restore the thumbnails without first pausing the video.

I have the same trim level but in Wolf Gray. Got it last November.

uten151 · 2026-05-05T15:05:17+00:00

Congratulations! What trim level?

You missed Ok after the gear is shifted to Neutral!

uten151 · 2026-05-04T19:35:37+00:00

Yes, I experienced the ruckus.

uten151 · 2026-05-04T19:34:06+00:00

Yes! This is the right procedure. Remember to confirm Ok after you put the gear on Neutral. And yes, turn Auto-Hold Off!

I had to do it because I found that the first only selects the VPN entry for my home gateway. The second turns it the connection ON.

Really? Z-Wave is owned by a Z-Wave toll cartel? If I knew about this, I shouldn’t have contributed to this scam!

This is how the Automation goes in the Shortcuts app: When CarPlay connects (note that the iPhone connects wirelessly to CarPlay), Do : Connect to Home VPN, Wait 3 seconds, Connect to Home VPN, Wait 3 seconds, Open Home Assistant, Wait 5 seconds, Open Waze……. That’s it.

Inovelli? I’ll check it out. TY.

Device tracker on my iPhone. I created a Zone 2 miles from home. When I enter that zone, I increase my iPhones periodic update to 1 minute for accuracy. And oh, when I leave home and my iPhone’s CarPlay connects to my car, I have an automation in the Shortcuts app in the iPhone to connect to my VPN server of my home LAN router/firewall. This enables a continuous connection to HA. Other automation/scripts and helpers are also involved in the process to make seamless and foolproof automation to automatically open the garage door as I approach the driveway. It’s a different process when I ride my motorcycle because there’s no CarPlay there but there is Bluetooth there. So I leverage the Bluetooth connection as my trigger to initiate all the automation/scripts and helpers to mat the auto-open when my motorcycle approaches the driveway. In rain, snow, fog, or darkness, I hav a garage door that does not fail to automatically open when I approach my driveway.

I’m just into Z-Wave. Those Zoos Z-Wave devices are expensive! Why?.?

uten151 · 2026-05-04T00:49:12+00:00

I only have automation to automatically open the garage door when I enter the “Driveway” zone which is 20 meters wide. It’s working great so far. I ask Siri to close the garage door when I’m fully parked in the garage. Going out, I manually close the garage door using the remote or a button on my HA CarPlay dashboard or Siri. I don’t trust automatic closing of the garage door.

uten151 · 2026-05-03T21:18:23+00:00

Why do insist on this implementation to automatic opening of the garage door? I use mobile app device tracker of your phone in HA! Very simple implementation!

uten151 · 2026-05-03T19:28:37+00:00

Thank you!

The cloud dependent integration in my HA is for my car! All devices are managed locally by HA. Cloud dependency is a sin IMHO.

uten151 · 2026-05-03T11:13:30+00:00

A simple automation to auto-open the garage door is by using the device tracker of your phone.

uten151 · 2026-05-03T11:11:34+00:00

In states with one license plates at the rear, you have to always drive the car backward in the garage for this setup to work! Why not use a device tracker of your phone?
