Introducing EV Play "Auto-Mate" for Rivian® -- automate your center-screen functions

Could this…

• Allow me to have “trusted locations” where the truck doesn’t auto lock? I would like to have multiple places (different work sites, for instance), where my truck doesn’t lock itself when I walk away, like I have it set at home). Rivian should have this feature, or at least give the option to add multiple other “home” locations… which I’ve been moaning about for years, maybe I can finally DIY it!?
• Leave wipers in service mode when truck is parked in snow mode (or just anytime I toggle it on in the winter)? This would probably trigger the “are your windshield wipers on the glass” notice or whatever, but save me a few steps in winter when it’s better to have my wipers reachable in case it snows. Plus they thaw better when up while preheating.
• Allow me to actually keep the climate running for extended periods even if I’m in and out of the truck without having to turn it on each time? They finally added climate keep but kneecapped the feature by turning it off each time you cycle from park to drive and back to park.
• Fix the broken outlet “auto” setting that turns itself off all the time by manually turning it on every time I get in the truck?

Either way I bought one. I’m so excited to play around with this! I think this will finally allow me to create workarounds for many of the more irritating little things that are almost right, but not quite there.

Loving Auto-Mate. Today's Automation: Automatically set ride height to High upon entering truck, and resetting to High when speeds drop below 40 m.p.h.

Hi there - curious on the programming of this - would be great to do. Did you set it to run upon connection to Auto-Mate?

I've settled on the Ride Height High automation to trigger above 17 mph. Setting the trigger to 17 mph, has helped minimize the continuous action on the center display. Then, at highway speeds, I have the map automation to get the center display on the map screen (instead of the suspension settings screen).

I'm really pleased with Auto-Mate -- except for the finicky Bluetooth connection where it just sometimes doesn't connect on some drives.
