Nice! But I guess what I was actually asking is how does this Connected Drive interface in the vehicle interface with your home? Does it connect via Alexa to control your lamps/thermostat/etc? Or does it require some other type of home automation product? We currently use a Nexia bridge for all our connected devices (works great!). So will the BMW be able to connect to Alexa or Nexia for home automation while out driving?

Darn. Hopefully BMW will add additional functionality to support more home automation hubs. Not everyone has a Samsung SmartThings hub or feel like switching.

Very nice. Have been on SmartThings pre-Sammy. Have the majority of our lighting on it, primarily for the wife's benefit. Perfect timing.

Pretty cool, but what about Android Auto integration?
80% of the market uses Android OS, but BMW insists to stick to Apple CarPlay only and invest their R&D time in some pretty useless features such as this one. Cool for marketing though... |

what? 80%? where is this data from? fake news? I guess apple stopped to exist with apple car play. Homelink will be available soon too, a great option for those that like things that work. Just like a BMW it works as it should. I suppose android is for AUDI as they are constantly broken. ... GO FRANCE WORLD CHAMPS !!!! Last edited by Ghostriderf80; 08-20-2018 at 03:17 PM.. |
