BYD Remote Control

Use the bundled Python scripts in scripts/ for repeatable BYD actions instead of rewriting the same pyBYD code each time.

Available scripts

• scripts/battery_check.py , fetch battery %, range, charging state, and timestamps as JSON
• scripts/battery_monitor.py , fetch battery state and emit an alert payload when battery is below BATTERY_THRESHOLD
• scripts/lock_car.py , lock the vehicle
• scripts/flash_lights.py , flash lights / horn
• scripts/start_ac.py , start climate control
• scripts/stop_ac.py , stop climate control
• scripts/byd_common.py , shared helper module used by the scripts

How to use

1. Read references/setup.md if credentials or dependencies are not already configured.
2. Run the relevant script from the skill directory so .env is discovered correctly.
3. Prefer the existing script over ad hoc inline Python when the task matches one of the bundled actions.

Notes

• The scripts load .env from the same directory as the scripts.
• BYD_PIN is automatically bridged to BYD_CONTROL_PIN.
• Vehicle selection can be controlled with BYD_VIN or BYD_VEHICLE_ALIAS. If neither is set, the scripts use the first vehicle returned by the account.
• battery_monitor.py prints alert JSON when below threshold. Delivery should be handled by the caller or automation layer.
