Systems, Methods and Vehicles For Controlling Home Automation

A system for controlling home automation comprising:

• a network;
• a home automation computing device communicatively coupled to the network, wherein the home automation computing device comprises one or more home processors and is communicatively coupled to an electrical device;
• a vehicle communicatively coupled to the network, the vehicle comprising one or more vehicle processors, and input/output hardware communicatively coupled to the one or more vehicle processors, wherein the one or more home processors, the one or more vehicle processors, or both execute logic to:
• receive a location signal indicative of a location of a vehicle;
• present, automatically, an input portal on the input/output hardware of the vehicle when the location of the vehicle is within a predetermined range;
• receive an actuation signal indicative of a mechanical input;
• and
• actuate a function of the electrical device.

A method for controlling home automation comprising:

• receiving a location signal indicative of a location of a vehicle;
• presenting, automatically with a processor, a visual indication that the location of the vehicle is within a predetermined range;
• receiving an actuation signal indicative of a mechanical input with an input portal;
• and
• transmitting a control signal to a home automation computing device via network interface hardware of the vehicle, wherein the control signal is operable to actuate a function of an electrical device communicatively coupled to the home automation computing device.
