As mentioned earlier, I'm interested in the EU version. What I am really interested in is if using this, or bluelinky, would enable me to remote start my car. As I live in the EU, remote start is not available due to regulations, but the question is if this is disabled in car, or just in app?
EDIT: My car is a Santa Fe PHEV, so needs to start the engine to heat up.
I found the app for Canadian cars but for HomeAssistant which is not too complex. It is a completely different app, not just the address. Since I know just a bit of Groovy I tried to modify your app. I was able to get the vehicle plus lot of information. But on a step i made a mistake and I think I locked my account. I cannot access Bluelink anymore. I called them but it will take few days to unlocked it.
If you want to take a look at the code, here it is:
Thanks, there is some hope for supporting Canadian vehicles. I have seen some recent postings that the Bluelink App is or has been updated to have the same capabilities as the U.S. version. It sounds like you were able to make some progress.
If you are adventurous, you might want to look into Postman, a free tool for developing REST web services. I used it to develop/debug the Bluelink App/Driver. Much easier to make API calls and look at the results than using Groovy. Then, when you have things figured out with the API calls you can integrate into the App.
Thank you. For sure I will take a look at it. I'm an old developer who knows nothing about the web, so I'm learning (trial and error). I hope I won't have problem unlocking my account because I'm not sure they like when we try to access their API.
Hummm, not so easy. I will read more when I have time. Right now I'm progressing in Canada's app. I get all the information and can lock/unlock. Soon I will work on climate.
What is the best way to understand Postman ? Some good documentation somewhere ?
Wow! Good progress. If you are this far, you may not need to bother with Postman. Postman just lets you construct and make raw API calls and then look at the results. You are clearly past the point where that would be very useful if you are making successful calls through the app.
If you still want to learn about Postman, I could probably export my workspace and send it to you. I don't know of any Postman tutorials, having learned what I know by just playing around with it. I'm sure that there are documents out there if you just google it.
I love the progress here. As posted earlier, I have a Europe Santa Fe PHEV and I am interested in being able to utilize this. Would it be possible to add support for that region?
@Kulfsson I know it has been quite awhile, but I haven't forgotten about you. I didn't have much time over the last 6 months (raising and training a puppy takes a lot of time) but things are starting to settle down and I may be able to spend some time looking at EU support and support for EVs. First thing is to clear the spider webs out of my brain.
Haha.. Sure, no worries. Congratulations on the puppy
A connection to my car is just an interesting feature, and by no means a necessity. I am curious though if I could use it for geofencing. Starting the car would be awesome, but I assume that feature is simply not enabled, so not just hidden.
@WindowWasher My Hyundai Canadian (just EV for now) version is almost completed. Since many things are really different from your version I create my own app and driver but starting from YOUR code. May I ask here if a Canadian with EV could make some tests with my version ?
I think it should be possible to add gaz car and also Kia option so it could be used by Hyundai AND Kia owners.
I saw that on Home Assistant they also wrote 3 different versions (US, CAD, EU).
A "sometimes" connection error is now fixed in the new Canadian version.
Any new ideas of what to do with the Bluelink app ? If you’re doing great things with this app please let me know, I’m trying to add more functions to what I’m already doing.
I'm new in developing for Hubitat. SO I have to learn how to do it, it will take some times. Btw I moved the Canadian Bluelink app to better organize them:
