This was my thinking exactly...here's what I found out today.This looks great.
Any idea if https://smartcar.com/rivian/ would work for those of us that aren’t as computer literate?
1) Found smartcar via google, it supports it!
https://smartcar.com/blog/october-2022/
2) There's a FREE version!!
3) There's even "Brand Specific APIs" prebuilt into it!!!!
3) But you need to upgrade to a paid version to get it , but there's a free trial.
4) After registering, logging in and seeing the dashboard....
5) 15 minutes later of trying to read documentation...
6) Led me to this Youtube Demo:
To which I got about 10 minutes in and had as much clarity as I've gotten from this thread, actually probably more from @mindstormsguy
7) I closed the video, clicked around some more. Was able to confirm via a simulation that a Rivian is indeed supported:
8) Spent 15 more minutes trying to figure out how to connect my car. Unsubscribed, closed the account and made this post.
9) Googling how to install home assistant.
TLDR Conclusion: I thought it was an app to allow me to see my vehicle. It's not.
It's an app, that requires me to have an app so that I can connect my app to the Rivian app using this app to make the app connection easier...I think.
