Guardian mode support

[Burberycupid]

Hi,

Is the abililty to support 'Guardian mode' on the roadmap at all? It would be great to be able to utilise the feature in a HA automation to automate when to track window/door events.

Never heard about this feature. Can you please explain? I can't see anything like it in the official Jaguar mobile app neither.

Sure thing! It’s a security feature that can be activated in the JLR remote app. When activated, it will alert you to any interaction with your vehicle such as doors opening etc. realistically, you’d want to enable it when your away from your vehicle or your going to asleep so your alerted immediately if someone is trying to gain access to your vehicle.

it’s mentioned here - https://www.landrover.co.uk/ownership/incontrol/touch/set-up-and-user-guides/using-your-emergency-and-security-features.html

I’ve also attached a photo of where it appears in the app.

Interesting, it does not appear in my app. Might be specific to car model or country?

It seems that the jlrpy supports the guardian mode, so it might be that we could include it in our integration as well.

Any thoughts, @msp1974?

Guardian mode support is in v3.0.0beta1 with both an on/off switch to set it for 24hrs (default but can be changed in config options) or via service call passing date/time to set it to.

Hey @msp1974

That’s cool. is the beta available now or something that’s coming shortly?

[msp1974]

Available now. You will need to enable beta versions in HACs to see it.

Thanks @msp1974 I’ve got that installed now and can see Guardian mode, much appreciated.

However I’ve noticed when I go to toggle the switch to on I get the bellow error message.

[msp1974]

Can you tell me if it works using the service call via dev tools? Thx

[Burberycupid]

Hi Mark,

yes, that works.
It’s just when you toggle Guardian Mode under Entities.

[msp1974]

Ok, will get that sorted.
