I Build an OpenClaw Skill for Your Car

Source: Dev.to

Overview

Car Connect — an OpenClaw skill for your car. It supports seven car brands by default (Tesla, Mercedes, VW, Ford, Toyota, Kia, Honda) and can also add your own brand. You can lock doors, check fuel, see tyre pressure, battery charge, turn on AC, and more.

Supported Brands

• Tesla
• Mercedes
• VW
• Ford
• Toyota
• Kia
• Honda

Custom brands can be added as needed.

Installation

openclaw skills install deadlybutsoft/car-connect

Implementation Details

OpenClaw makes it easy to package and share skills. The logic is written in Python, includes a SKILL.md file, and is published to ClawHub.

Each car brand uses a different authentication method:

• Tesla – token‑based
• Mercedes – OAuth
• Honda – email/password

OpenClaw handles all of these through environment variables, avoiding hard‑coded credentials and simplifying the addition of new brands.
