About

DroneMobile is an integration for connected vehicles with Firstech and Compustar remote start systems. It adds door lock and trunk controls, switches for remote start, panic alarm and two auxiliary outputs, and a location tracker. Sensors cover odometer, battery voltage and level, interior temperature, fuel level, alarm status and the time of the last update, plus binary sensors for engine, ignition, doors, hood and towing. A refresh action polls the vehicle for its latest status, and the documentation advises using it sparingly because it consumes data and vehicle battery. It connects through the vendor's cloud and is set up in the UI with account credentials, a vehicle choice, units, an update interval and an optional code for two-factor login. The README notes that it relies on an unofficial API that may change without notice.
