Description
OH Auto — Smart Home Control for Android Auto
Control your openHAB smart home directly from your car's display. OH Auto brings your most-used devices to the Android Auto dashboard, so you can turn things on and off with a single tap — without touching your phone while driving.
Heading home? Switch on the porch light, driveway gates, or living-room lamps before you pull in. OH Auto puts your smart home one tap away, right where you need it.
Features
• Tap-to-toggle control — Your devices appear as a clean grid of tiles on the Android Auto screen. Tap a tile to switch it ON or OFF instantly.
• Clear status at a glance — Each tile shows the device's name and current state (ON/OFF) with an easy-to-read icon, so you always know what's running.
• Live updates — The screen refreshes automatically every 30 seconds, keeping device states in sync with your home.
• Your server, your data — OH Auto connects directly to your own openHAB instance. There's no third-party cloud in between — your credentials and your home stay yours.
• Group-based focus — Choose an openHAB group on your phone, and only those items show up in the car. Keep the in-car view focused on what matters while driving.
• Built for Android Auto — Designed around Android Auto's templated interface and driver-distraction guidelines for a safe, glanceable experience.
Setup
1. Install OH Auto on your phone. 2. Open the app and enter your openHAB server URL, an API token, and the name of the group you want to control. 3. Connect your phone to Android Auto — your devices appear automatically on the car screen.
Requirements
• A running openHAB server (self-hosted or remote) that your phone can reach. • An openHAB API token for authentication. • A vehicle or head unit that supports Android Auto.
OH Auto is an independent companion app for the open-source openHAB home automation platform. It is not an official openHAB product.
Recent changes: - **A new **Allow self-signed certificates** checkbox in the Local settings lets the app trust the server's certificate. It is off by default and applies only to the local connection - **API token authentication** — Local API tokens are now sent as a `Bearer` token instead of HTTP Basic auth. - Renamed the app to **OH Auto** (formerly "openHAB Auto") to avoid use of the openHAB trademark.
