I think the option of a force command wouldn’t be a bad thing. Since my original inquiry I have something set up now that works pretty well, but requires the use of node-red, which isn’t a problem for me as that’s mainly what I use anyway. I have a flow that first uses the drone_mobile.refresh_device_status_[Vehicle Name] service, and then goes on to a “wait until” node that doesn’t proceed until the door lock entity refreshes/becomes “unlocked” or times out after 10 seconds if it doesn’t (refresh does not occur, or doors are already locked.
Thanks to your component, I’m working on a way to integrate passive arming into Home Assistant with a node-red flow. It would let me implement more safeguards than the remote start’s built in option. Wireless Android Auto connection status, connected to home wifi ssid, location, vehicle door status, engine status, etc. Or, simply be able to flip a toggle in Home Assistant to disable that function.
