Home automation is hardly a new concept, but sometimes you have to get creative to automate your desired features. Thankfully, there are tons of tools to choose from, and Richard from the YouTube channel Break It Yourself knows just what to look for. Using our favorite SBC, the Raspberry Pi, he’s automatically started his car on cold days.
According to Richard, the issue began when he couldn’t always remember to start his car on cold mornings. Sure, you can automate something like this with Alexa, but he needed the car to start itself without the need to remember the command. That’s where Pi comes into play. Using Home Assistant, he’s created a system that will trigger his car to start on mornings when the temperature gets too low.
