Thanks for dropping by & saying so, Neal.

I’d like to refine this article a bit. Would you mind dropping me a line so we can chat through where you’re at? Briefly… (1) Speedify. You don’t really need anything special here. If you’ve followed their instructions, it should auto-connect to the best available network. But I haven’t had great luck with their support TBH, so LMK if you need help. (2) The WiFi auto-connect. This can be a bit trickier. If you’re using my scripts, the logs should tell you what’s going on, so you can observe exactly how it’s working.

Here at the cabin, I no longer run Speedify (we have only one internet connection). I use my DIY Raspberry Pi router, which is basically the same thing except without Speedify. This router is also the Kubernetes master node. You can actually see my home network diagram here and my approach to using Kubernetes to deploy Home Assistant here.

FWIW, I think this is what I’d do in your case. Put the Raspberry Pi in the car with Speedify + Home Assistant. Presumably, Speedify has 2 interfaces, one for the Jetpack (secondary) and one for the home WiFi (primary). You shouldn’t need my WiFi script unless you **also** want to use anonymous WiFi networks, not just your home network, since your Pi will already automatically connect to known networks (e.g., your house) and Speeify will select the primary interface (WiFi) when applicable.

Hope that helps! Always glad to edit the post with updates if you have any suggestions.

This is very informative and I appreciate the time you’ve spent putting all this together. I’m very interested in this speedify/auto wifi/mifi connect you’ve set up and wondering if you have a more comprehensive guide? I think I have it all installed but I want to be sure it’s working correctly.

I’m also wondering, do you have the auto wifi/speedify configuration setup on the same raspberry pi as you have Home Assistant? If so, did you do a manual install of HA on raspbian using a virtual env? I want to be able to connect to my home wifi and then when I drive away (in my RV), my jetpack/mifi takes over and everything is seamless. Thanks so much,
