If I add the vehicle to my dashboard. What template should I use so I can remote start it from there. Or is there a way when clicking on the vehicle to present a pop up asking what to do (lock, start, refresh, etc)
What I have on my dashboard is a tile that displays the status of the vehicle, using the Attribute template and the statusHtml attribute. If you want to remote start the vehicle from a dashboard, you will need an automation to do that (Rule Machine, Webcore, etc.)
What I have done in the past is create a virtual switch and trigger the automation when that switch is pressed. You also have to deal with setting the remote start profile when you trigger the automation.
Having difficulty with any commands processing. Some errors in pic
Using Usa app by window washer
Via GitHub
A few questions:
- Where are you? This app only works in the U.S.A. CA and the EU uses different servers/API
- Has it ever worked for you or are you just starting out with it?
Try turning on debug logging in the App. The App is where most of the work is done and you will see much more error information. Also, I don't know if it will work with a Hybrid. I'll have to dig into that to see.
- Iām in USA
- First time using it.
Will try when home and report back
Seems to be working now. Deleted the devices and rediscovered
@user502 Good to hear. Is it working with the Santa Fe Hybrid? Just curious as I don't know if anyone has tried this driver with an EV before.
Seems to be working.
Hey. Any chance you could get it to work with the EU servers? I have read that they are supposedly more troublesome to connect to than US.
@Kulfsson Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I'm going to make some time Sunday to look at EU support again. Don't get your hopes up too much. It's very difficult without a vehicle/Bluelink that targets the EU servers. On top of that, the API for EU is different from the U.S. I seem to remember that you are in Iceland and have an EV, right? I will also look at what another user from Canada did. He got a Canadian version working, using what I did for the U.S. as a base. We will see.
I'm not suggesting you add Home Assistant just for this, but you would be able to get control for the EU with the integration that exists already. The easiest way to get it going is to install one of the prebuilt images on a VM or (if you have one available) a Raspberry Pi and then install HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) and search for Kia Uvo / Hyundai Bluelink in HACS, then add the integration to HA.
I'm using this same integration for my Ioniq 5 and I use the HE>HA integration with a virtual motion sensor as a switch driver so I can ask Alexa to warm the car in winter and cool it down in summer. I also have an automation setup so when the car has less than 35% charge, Alexa will notify us when we run our goodnight routine. That saves us from a surprise if we forgot to charge the night before a planned road trip then next morning.
Thanks for the reply. I do live in Iceland, but have a PHEV Santa Fe.
Thanks for the suggestion. I might check it out

I know Hyundai just had some maintenance downtime for Bluelink so I know it's possible, but, is anyone else having trouble with authentication? I've tried everything that I can think of: token refresh, app and device uninstall, code refresh to the latest available in the repo.
Enabled debug and tried to discover vehicles again:
I know this could be dead at any moment, but I truly loved having it. Sad if it's gone.
I'm seeing the same error. It looks like Hyundai changed something in the API. The error seems to indicate that there is now a required parameter missing when trying to login to refresh the auth token. I'll take a look at it tomorrow morning and see if I can figure out what's missing.

@das.heil I just pushed a fix to github for this issue. The only thing updated is the app code. Give it a try and let me know if you still see a problem.

So far so good! I was able to install the app, configure it and discover my vehicle. The calls appear to be working but for some reason their damn app isn't sending me the push notifications is should be.
@das.heil Sometimes (most of the time, actually) the push notifications to the app are delayed. I just saw a couple that were due to the testing that I was doing an hour ago.

Yep, the wonderful world of push notifications! Thanks so much for the quick response and your overall work on this! Like I said, I know it can go away without warning but damn do I like having it. Keeps my car locked if I forget to.
