Video Below Thought I would share this, using the Amazon Echo to control homeseer and the My Sensors plugin/hardware I was able to start my car. I still need to build sometime of safety device to prevent anyone from starting it while its in the garage, but I have some time to work on that part. The Low Quality is on purpose to blur the license plate (sorry but dont need to be publishing that).

How it was done, basically I ordered a spare remote synced it to the car then removed the buttons and wired some solid state relays in their place. Then I created an event in homeseer to press the lock button for a set period of time, stop for a second then press the start button. The panic button is also hooked up to a relay and will be linked to the alarm. Note that I did not hook up the unlock button as I was afraid of security issues.

Thank you Corbin and NCA78, I had assumed it was my code since I am not very good at it. However it turned out to be a bad sensor. I will post some additional information and pictures in the project section this evening now that everything is working. Thank you again for your help.

I have been trying to develop a case for the scene controller. this is what I have come up with so far. This is a working prototype as I do plan to make changes in the distant future.
