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": "[e-mail]",
"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-packages

Commands

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: off

On 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-mobile PyPI package has a known bug where response.success is always False. The script reads raw_data['command_success'] directly. PR submitted: https://github.com/bjhiltbrand/drone_mobile_python/pull/18
