Removal of Mazda Connected Services integration - eviltoast

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

    The hyundai app is really unresponsive. So I’ve used the integration to create my own version of it. It also let’s me tie in other things like garage doors and security cams in one place.

      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
