Would it be possible to add a couple of things as triggers for automation?:
1. Time of day
2. AND statements
Use case would be: Trigger sequence "Start Navigation to Work" when Leaving Home AND Time between 6:00-6:15 am.
It would also be nice to have the app use more phone or vehicle sensors as triggers. This would be a pretty big job though.

It would be helpful to play preview Home Screen coordinate adjustments. The default coordinates for Screen 1...5 are not working for me and my trial and error adjustments to the coordinates isn't bearing fruit.

Ask and you shall receive! This has been added, let me know if it works for you.
@seattlesteve Good idea and I'll look at adding that, but in the interim, you could create a new "Home Screen" sequence for testing purposes. This would allow you to add, play, and fine tune your home screen coordinates -- then just copy them over.
I created a sequence to turn on 2nd row floor vents. Can you create a trigger for this sequence when front seat vents are turned on?
@evplayadmin Would it be possible to add triggers / automations that tie into EVplay for Rivian?
Such as:
- Automatically switch from the EVPlay UI to the stock Rivian UI based on location.
- Detecting which UI is currently active and base trigger conditions on that.
- Allowing macros to run within the EVPlay UI as well.
- Etc, etc.
@deanb1452 If I'm understanding you correctly, you are asking for a trigger when the rear vents are turned on, correct? If so, there is no feedback loop from the car to Auto-Mate, unfortunately. It's a "dumb" (in technical terms) device and only moves and clicks where the Auto-Mate app tells it to.

This is possible as a modification to the EV Play app running on EV Play and not the Auto-Mate app running on your phone. However, if you have a compatible GPS module and a bit of technical knowhow to set mock locations, then you could already create macros using an Android app like Tasker.
@evplayadmin I did consider getting a GPS module for that reason. But I'm not really a fan of mounting it to the windshield / dash where it's always visible. Evidently all of the 3rd party GPS options require direct line-of-sight to the sky.
Would there be a way to use the current GPS status from my iPhone, then actively pass those values to the EVPlay Android environment?
@grant The one we sold worked pretty well even buried under the dash, according to some of our customers. I'm happy to sell you one but it would take a bit of technical know-how to get it working with Tasker, etc. (which is beyond the scope of our support). With that said, I think you may be able to find the necessary steps outlined in a post by a user within this forum, if memory serves. If for some reason it doesn't work, you can return it, less shipping.
There are ways to do it via your phone (GPS2IP for iPhone or Share GPS for Android, as examples) but it's a bit more complicated.
@evplayadmin I got it working with GPS2IP+Tasker... but it has some reliability concerns. I'm thinking the hardware GPS module might be the only real solution.
I'm interested in buying the GPS module that you sold previously, if that's still an option. I definitely have the technical know-how for this kind of stuff so that won't be an issue.
@grant Awesome, please reach out to me - alex@evplay.net - and I'll get you over the link.
