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": "[e-mail]",
      "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.
