I wonder if you can automate this through the shortcuts app. You'd need some thing along the lines of: when carplay is activated activate siri

What do they even want to achieve with this? There are so many other E2E messaging apps criminals can switch to.

DIY HomeKit enabled HDMI-switch (kbin.social)

Hi folks, I noticed that there weren't any commercial available HDMI-switches which worked with home automation software, that's why I chose to built one myself.

The base of the switch consists of a cheap 4k HDMI-switch with an IR remote. With the help of an IR receiver I recorded the codes and saved them as hexadecimal codes. After that, I chose a microcontroller to use with the project: an esp32-s2. I wrote a little program using the arduino library HomeSpan to send the codes with an IR led to the HDMI-switch. Now I can control my HDMI source device through homekit!

If you have any questions about the project don't hesitate to ask!
