Comfort
Each item below shows a colour chip telling you whether the connection is ready to use, needs a small action from you, or has hit a problem — and a small pill telling you who built it (RoamCore, community, or experimental).
Approach lights
Approach lights (welcome-home exterior + underbody lighting) — the universal small-comfort van automation: open the door after dark, the underbody + entry + soft-interior lights come on for a configurable duration (default 2 min) so you can see where you're stepping and feel like the van is welcoming you home.
