Your car already lives in your phone — but it deserves better than a standalone app. AutoBrain is joining Home Assistant, pushing service reminders, fuel analytics, and running costs onto the same dashboard as your lights, locks, and laundry. Phase 1 lands in Q4 2026, with a closed beta opening in October.
Countdown entities per vehicle showing kilometres and days until the next service. Drop them into a Lovelace card or an HA todo list — a reminder that turns the office light orange and adds a calendar event your mechanic can see.
Rolling L/100km averages sitting next to your solar production on the same dashboard. See the week-over-week jump that tells you something needs attention before the check-engine light does.
Total spend by category — fuel, service, rego — month-on-month deltas, and cost per kilometre rendered in native HA charts. Your car's running costs finally sit next to your electricity bill.
AutoBrain acts as the intelligence layer. It computes your analytics and service intervals, then pushes only the processed insights into Home Assistant — no raw telemetry, no cloud dependency, nothing leaving your network unless you want it to.
Q4 2026. Pull AutoBrain analytics and service-interval pushes over REST and WebSocket. Pick the insights you want inside HA — rego status badges, next-service calendars, AI maintenance predictions — and AutoBrain delivers them on the schedule you choose.
2027. A full HACS custom integration with config flow: one-click install inside HA, entity setup for every vehicle, and per-entity toggles so you only expose what your dashboard and automations need. Plus a custom Lovelace card styled to match your HA theme.
Only processed insights — aggregated fuel costs, rego status, AI service predictions, charge-session summaries — are pushed. Your HA instance never sees raw OBD2 PIDs, live GPS routes, or anything you have not explicitly chosen to surface.
Phase 1 (REST + WebSocket feed) targets Q4 2026, with a closed beta opening in October. Phase 2 (full HACS custom integration with config flow) follows in 2027. Watch the public changelog and the AutoBrain #changelog channel for the day each phase lands.
Only processed insights you opt in to — service reminders, fuel efficiency and cost trends, rego status, and AI maintenance predictions. Raw OBD2 PIDs, live telemetry and GPS routes never leave AutoBrain unless you explicitly surface them.
No. The integration runs on the same AutoBrain backend you already use — hosted or self-hosted. You just need a Home Assistant instance and a waitlist signup.
