This is a talk about how we built and set it up, and som experiences on how a radiant, very visible indication of the quality of the last merged changes to our application affects the team!

Note to self: make sure the first layer sticky before going to bed.

Less than a minute after parking the car, the automation has registered the car at the quest-parking web-site

All that remains is to set up the actual automation in HA and try this out.

I'll let you know how this works

In homeassistant I can set up a RESTful action to make this call and let that be triggered by my car entering the area of the guest parking. Volvo does not allow for live tracking but updates when I lock and leave my car.
The github_pat_header is a combination of text and PAT: 'Bearer <pat_token>"

The workflow, in turn, can be triggered by a REST call in the form:
api.github.com/repos/%3Cown...
All we need is a Personal Access Token to go with this, and some payload indicating what workflow to trigger.

Testing this from command line proves successful:

Logging in and saving my cars plate number can be done using Cypress. Simple script run in a gitHub workflow.

Aalso my Homeassistant is able to keep track of my car and tell me when I'm entering or leaving a geographical zone

Turns our the process of registering your parking is quite easy through a simple website.

Ouch. Got a parking ticket on the visitors parking for not registering my car in time or correctly. I will be leaving the car there often and with more mishaps like this, it could be expensive. Need to fix this.
