Quick headsup for the Mazda owners here. It has been removed due to a cease and desist from Mazda, unfortunately.

So DIY home-assistant based cloud-relay is better than custom made purpose built cloud-relay by muliti billion dollar company? xD

Which is both hilarious and a testament to the power of Home-assistant and open source (and I suppose it says something about how much Hyundai cares about their app)

It's crazy, right?

It's because hyundai outsources the front end development to a different company (maybe a subsidiary) called bluelink.

The APIs are pretty good and, I assume, would be done by the hyundai team directly.

The issue really is the front end being bad ux and poor implementation of those apis
