Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd love to be able to turn on "PIN to drive" at night from HA and disable it when I wake up so the car has less of a chance of being stolen.

In many houses the car port/garage is very close to the bedroom or other location in the house where the phone Bluetooth is in enough radius to unlock the car even when unintended. Some people go as far as disabling bluetooth at night.

Describe the solution you'd like

It appears that an API for turning on/off "PIN to Drive" has been recently added as per 2023.20.4.1 release-notes
