Quickly and easily automate simple or complex tasks — like switching drive modes on the highway, opening the charge port at home, or adjusting climate settings — all hands-free. Record any touch sequence once, set your triggers, and let Auto-Mate handle the rest every time you drive! With Auto-Mate’s intuitive recording mode, simply tap through any sequence of screen interactions — switching drive modes, adjusting climate settings, navigate drive modes — and save it. From that point on, Auto-Mate can replay those exact actions whenever the conditions you define are met. Pulling onto the highway? Automatically switch between All-Purpose and Conserve Modes. Arriving home? Open your garage and charge port without lifting a finger. Your Rivian not remember a certain driver profile? With Auto-Mate you can set seat position, preferred drive mode, temperature, and more, as soon as you get in the vehicle! Fine-tune triggers with speed qualifiers, fire-once logic, and cooldown timers so automations run exactly when you need them and never when you don’t.
