Install
openclaw skills install dronemobileControl vehicles via DroneMobile (Firstech/Compustar remote start systems). Use when the user asks to start their car, stop the engine, lock/unlock doors, open the trunk, check battery voltage, or get vehicle status. Triggers on phrases like "start my car", "remote start", "lock my car", "unlock the car", "check battery", "open trunk", "stop the engine", "vehicle status". Requires DRONEMOBILE_EMAIL and DRONEMOBILE_PASSWORD environment variables. Optionally DRONEMOBILE_DEVICE_KEY for multi-vehicle accounts.
openclaw skills install dronemobileControl any DroneMobile-connected vehicle via natural language.
Set credentials in OpenClaw env (openclaw.json → env):
"DRONEMOBILE_EMAIL": "your@email.com",
"DRONEMOBILE_PASSWORD": "yourpassword",
"DRONEMOBILE_DEVICE_KEY": "40632023374"
DRONEMOBILE_DEVICE_KEY is optional if you have one vehicle — the script auto-selects the first vehicle on the account.

drone-mobile PyPI package has a known bug where response.success is always False. The script reads raw_data['command_success'] directly. PR submitted: https://github.com/bjhiltbrand/drone_mobile_python/pull/18
