HomeLink Connect®
Today, HomeLink is getting even smarter with HomeLink Connect - A HomeLink companion app that makes programming HomeLink even easier and gives drivers access to an increasing array of cloud-based home automation services.
Drivers of HomeLink Connect compatible vehicles can also download and configure the app to control individual home automation devices or set up entire home automation routines.
For instance, when heading home, one HomeLink button press could adjust your thermostat, turn on your lights, disarm the security system, unlock the door, and begin playing your favorite music.
Once configured, the app pairs with the vehicle, allowing users to activate vehicle-integrated HomeLink buttons without needing to fumble with their phone. Depending on how the OEM wants to integrate the feature, HomeLink Connect can be activated by hard buttons via a low-energy Bluetooth connection with the phone, or soft buttons created in the app that populate on the vehicle’s center stack once the phone is paired.
Dual Transmission Modes
By offering a combination of RF and cloud-based wireless control, HomeLink remains the industry standard for comprehensive, reliable vehicle-to-home automation.
HomeLink and the HomeLink Connect app bring convenience to drivers around the world, with ever expanding compatibility and use cases. They also help automakers simply and securely integrated a robust home automation platform that provides drivers with an incredible connected-car experience.
