Script to turn on climate control

pkulak · Nov 20, 2016

Audi has lately been screwing with my routine by messing with how I turn on my climate control in the morning. First it was in one phone app, then apparently in another (but not really), forcing me to use the web portal thing which makes me punch through two login screens. So, I finally just broke down and wrote a script to automate it for me. What's really nice about this is that you can set up cron jobs (or whatever) and get much more flexible scheduling than what's available in the car.

Anyway, I thought I'd throw it on here in case anyone wanted to play with it:

Oh, forgot to mention that this probably only works if you're in the USA. :/

Well given the way audi mmi connect tells you the car is parked any where other than where it is there is a good chance it will think it in the USA.

haha, I just put a web server in front of this script, hooked it up to IFTTT and now when I say "Hey Google, heat my car" in my kitchen, my Google Home picks it up and starts the climate control.
