- description
- Control vehicles via DroneMobile (Firstech/Compustar remote start systems). Use when the user asks to start their car, stop the engine, lock/unlock doors, open the trunk, check battery voltage, or get vehicle status. Triggers on phrases like "start my car", "remote start", "lock my car", "unlock the car", "check battery", "open trunk", "stop the engine", "vehicle status". Requires DRONEMOBILE_EMAIL and DRONEMOBILE_PASSWORD environment variables. Optionally DRONEMOBILE_DEVICE_KEY for multi-vehicle accounts.
DroneMobile Vehicle Control
Control any DroneMobile-connected vehicle via natural language.
Setup
Set credentials in OpenClaw env (openclaw.json → env):
"DRONEMOBILE_EMAIL": "your@email.com",
"DRONEMOBILE_PASSWORD": "yourpassword",
"DRONEMOBILE_DEVICE_KEY": "40632023374"DRONEMOBILE_DEVICE_KEY is optional if you have one vehicle — the script auto-selects the first vehicle on the account.
Install the library if not present:
pip install drone-mobile --break-system-packagesCommands
Run scripts/dronemobile.py with the appropriate command:
| User asks | Command |
|---|---|
| Start / remote start | python3 scripts/dronemobile.py start |
| Stop engine | python3 scripts/dronemobile.py stop |
| Lock doors | python3 scripts/dronemobile.py lock |
| Unlock doors | python3 scripts/dronemobile.py unlock |
| Open trunk | python3 scripts/dronemobile.py trunk |
| Check battery / status | python3 scripts/dronemobile.py status |
Output
The script prints a one-line status with key telemetry:
✅ start | Temp: 6°C | Battery: 12.5V | Engine: offOn failure it prints the error and exits with code 1.
Notes
- Commands are fire-and-forget — the car executes asynchronously. Engine-on status may still show False immediately after start (takes ~30s).
- Battery below 11.8V = low; below 11.0V = critical.
drone-mobilePyPI package has a known bug whereresponse.successis always False. The script readsraw_data['command_success']directly. PR submitted: https://github.com/bjhiltbrand/drone_mobile_python/pull/18
