About
Kia Uvo / Hyundai Bluelink is a HACS integration that connects Kia Connect and Hyundai Bluelink vehicles to Home Assistant. It talks to the vendor's cloud and is set up in the UI with account credentials, a region and a brand, and some regions also ask for a PIN or a one-time password. It adds sensors and binary sensors for battery, range, doors, windows, locks and warnings, plus a device tracker style location, climate control, door locks, window covers and charge limit numbers. Switches and buttons cover EV charging, scheduled departures, the charge port, valet mode, hazard lights and a forced data refresh. Surround view camera images can be captured on vehicles that support them. Options set how often cached data is fetched and how often the car is asked for fresh data, with quiet hours for forced refresh, and the README says setting that too low drains the 12v battery.
