Automated Settings Macros - Request for Ideas

Was he driving a jacked Civic? I saw something very similar two weeks ago where 422 East hits the 222N exit in Reading...I was in the rightmost lane because I too needed 222 north, except that I was in the proper lane to exit and not the leftmost of the 3.

It had NY plates, that I'm certain of. It might have been a Toyota. I hit the horn so it should have saved video, I'll take a look tonight.

Was that where it happened? We take 222N from Lancaster up to I-78 quite frequently and that turn off of 422E to exit onto 222N always scares me.

I smiled with your "I hit the horn" comment...About the only thing my horn is good for is to initiate a video...The driver of the other car isn't going to hear it. I may finally have my wife convinced that the RealWheelsEV Horn Upgrade might be worth it. She's always been in the "well, Rivian knows best" camp when it comes to our R1S, but the horn and lack of 12V near the driver still pisses me off.

Yes, that's exactly where it happened.

This isn't a macro, but a gateway drug to more macros: Native Home Assistant Integration. Right now there's an integration with Rivian's API...but if you have a RasPi on board with CAN integration and touchscreen control already....shit man, you can use the Connect+ connection to give a much more realtime entry point into the vehicle. People could build tons of macros for you, (maybe have a HACS style repository where their integrations can be posted). Like if instead of "close garage door when pulling out of the driveway", the Riv would check my Home Assistant, look at my garage door *status* (open or closed), check to see who else is home, (because I have HA agents on everyone's phone, I know if they are home or not), and if the home is empty THEN trigger a door close, and even better pop up a dialog on the screen if the door FAILS to close (obstruction sensor triggered, or door hits something and reverses). I could do most of this without HA on board, using the Riv API and my home HA instance, but onboard Home Assistant would give you a rabid community of developers just itching to magnify the value of your product.

Just in case you haven't been bitten by the Home Assistant bug, basically you set up a small server/install in your home that can link to all kinds of things. My home HVAC, dozens of extra sensors I've either bought or made, my Enphase solar controller, my emporia energy monitors, my polestar API, my rivian API, some homemade RAT-RATGDO garage door controllers, home made water quality system, my ChargePoint home flex chargers, my robot lawnmower, my robot vacuum and mop, dozens of smart switches and sensors, my smart TVs.....it's all in Home Assistant and pretty much anything can be linked to anything in an automation or script.

I am running actiontiles in my wife's Tesla M3 performance through the built-in browser so I can definitely see the logic of where you heading. Plan on doing this in the R1T when I receive the module.
