FR: Add Battery Preconditioning On/Off for EVs

[BrandonTGibbs]

The EV9 has a remote command through the Kia Connect app for remotely turning on and off the battery preconditioning, at least in the US. I am unsure of other regions. I was wondering if this was possible to do via this integration. I would like to be able to schedule the preconditioning on and off similarly to how I can schedule the cabin climate.

I think i saw (in the bluelink app?) that the car is also doing battery preconditioning when using the cabin climate service.

Hello, In France you can activate the air conditioning on Bluelink. I am also interested in this option in Home Assistant

Air Condition is no problem with the Bluelink Integration in Home Assistant, i am also in Europe.
But only Battery Preconditioning, i cant find a command for.
But if you make Air Condition „Defrost?“ with Home Assistant, you can see in the Bluelink-App under the Status Tab that the Battery-Symbol shows it is also doing Battery-Preconditioning, not only heating the car cabin.

Thanks for your quick response. Can you give me the entity that does this? Maybe I looked badly at it. Thank you so much

Oh, i see it is about ev9.
I have the ioniq 5 I control with the Bluelink Integration.
I have Integration „Hyundai / Kia Connect“ and Entity „IONIQ 5 from Hyundai Europe“.
I dont know anymore how i installed it.
