Official integration

[simieski]

I've been using this custom component for about 9 months since I got my new KIA eNiro. Thanks so much for all your hard work. I've been mighty impressed at how rock solid it is. Asking Alexa or Siri to warm up the car has been a god send this winter. I've even made a actionable notification using HA iOS app, where if the temp has been freezing overnight I'm asked at 8am if I'd like to 'warm the car'. I would share, but I need to update for the upcoming changes to actions first.

Keep up the good work!! A few things:

• Let me know if I can help with testing anything specific to eNiro
• Have you ever considered submitting this as an official KIA integration to Home Assistant?
• I was glad to see you've added some options to change the update interval, do you have any inkling on what the rate limit might be with their API? As I'd like to test out some automations which require the most up to date information (eg. 1 minute).

Thanks for the support! It has been a team effort! Very cool to hear how people are using this integration in day to day life.

What region are you in? The biggest thing we need testing on is our new API. We have essentially refactored this whole thing for a 2.0 that supports multi car but also follows more of what is needed to be a core integration. We have an open pull request with the HA core group but it is still going through review home-assistant/core#62451. The "core" code is also in draft here for testing: #219

How I see this going is that branch once close to feature parity will be merged to turn this to 2.0 This will allow us testing and to migrate to the state that the core migration will be in. Hopefully providing us testing and a migration path.

Ioniq 5, happy to test if needed :)

Official integration isn't happening anymore. We tried but received resistance merging it.

oh no :( any exact reason why?

The core team wanted a trimmed version of this. Take a look at the pull requests to the core version. No real benefit of core vs this version here.
