Considering a Kona: is Bluelink expensive after the 3 year trial?

  A Home Assistant HACS integration that supports Kia Connect(Uvo) and Hyundai Bluelink. The integration supports the EU, Canada and the USA.

  

I've got a few years left on the bluelink subscription that came with my Kona, but presently I'd be willing to keep paying for the remote package after the rest has expired. As others have mentioned, the Bluelink app is hot garbage, but If you're like me and have too much time on your hands you can get around it using something like this Hyundai Buelink/KIA UVO integration for Home Assistant. With this, I have my own UI with the features I want to use laid out right in front of me, and I don't need to look at the app's janky loading icon ever again. This is not an officially supported way of using Bluelink, and it's not even at full release, but It's massively enhanced my experience with Bluelink.

  HACS gives you a powerful UI to handle downloads of all your custom needs.

  

You likely have home assistant operating system, which is the one that works! If you open your dashboard and have a tab on the left side menu that says 'supervisor' then you're good. You'll need to install HACS to get the custom integration. HACS manages a bunch of unofficial hoke assistant integrations.
