Code Maintainers Wanted

I no longer have a Kia or Hyundai so don't maintain this like I used to. Others who are interested in jumping in are welcome to join the project! Even just pull requests are appreciated!

Intro

I have baked a custom integration for Kia Uvo / Hyundai Bluelink, this will be working for new account types. Thanks for your hard work @wcomartin. This project was mostly inspired by his home assistant integration. This now uses our underlying python package: https://github.com/Hyundai-Kia-Connect/hyundai_kia_connect_api.

Installation

Install the software by using HACS or manually copying files into the custom_components subdirectory. Next, go to Settings, then Devices & services and in the Integrations section search for Kia uvo and configure your vehicle using your username and password(or token if Europe!) (I know, translations are missing, a PR for this would be great!).

**EU KIA and Hyundai require special steps. This is outlined here: https://github.com/Hyundai-Kia-Connect/hyundai_kia_connect_api/wiki/Kia-Europe-Login-Flow **

Troubleshooting

If you receive an error while trying to login, please go through these steps;

1. As of now, integration only supports USA, EU, China, IN, Aus, NZ, CAD and BR region, so if you are outside, you are more than welcome to create an issue and become a test user for changes to expand coverage. USA and Brazil coverage isn't complete.
2. EU Kia users recently (August 2025) faced an issue, while solution was implemented, some users require to login their account on https://www.kia.com/de and consent to data processing by Kia to overcome the issue.
3. As a last resort, please double check your account credentials or you can create a new account and share your car from main account to new account.
4. You can enable logging for this integration specifically and share your logs, so I can have a deep dive investigation. To enable logging click "Enable debug logging" on the integration. It can be access via "Settings -> System -> Logs"
