Renault is making a rare appearance in the United States as the company is using CES to unveil a new feature that links your car to your home.

Created with Otodo, the unnamed feature is billed as a “new connectivity solution” which enables drivers to control their home from their car’s infotainment system.

That’s actually selling the technology a bit short as it allows users to automate routine tasks. In order to do this, owners download a smartphone app and then select the devices they want to control in certain scenarios.

As an example, Renault said users could create a Leaving Home scenario which would shut off the lights, close the blinds and lower the thermostat when you drive away. The opposite is also true as users can create an Arriving Home scenario which opens the garage door and turns on the lights.

The scenarios are highly customizable and can be triggered based on the distance between your home and vehicle. As a result, you could set the system to turn up the thermostat when you leave work so your house is nice and comfortable by the time you arrive.

After the initial setup, the process is nearly seamless. However, users will have to hit an “OK” prompt on the infotainment system in order to activate a scenario.

The service will be launched later this year and be available on all Renault models that feature the new Easy Link infotainment system. Among the supported vehicles are new Clio, Captur and Zoe.
