New plugin pimatic-bluelink

---

I tried over the weekend to figure out how to identify AC and ACportable. I wasn’t able to find a way. Currently always ACport is shown independent of whether the car charges AC or AC portable. So I would suggest to use always AC and the related charging time for the UI.
ACport should only be required in emergency cases. Me for my own can life without it. What about the other users?

No one seems to be against it…

@bertreb: If it would be okay for you, could you please adjust the plugin to evaluate AC instead of ACport when batteryPlugin=2? I think it is the more used and useful AC info.

Thats ok, i changed it in version 0.2.32

Thank you!

Hey bertreb,
since two days I am getting no data from my car. I think something changed in the backend again.

The log shows just this:

I haven’t changed anything in the config since weeks.

I updated the plugin to the newest Bluelinky library -> 0.2.33
Let me know if that solved the problem

Yes, works again!

Hi,
once more Kia was changing the backend. No idea what they are doing. But it ends in error for the plugin.
I have updated bluelinky to the brand new version 7.3.0 and now it works again. Could you be so kind to update your plugin?

No problem. I updated to 0.2.34

Thanks for this!

Hey bertreb,
could you be so kind an update bluelinky to version 8.0.
I am facing problems to control my kia since some days.

I couldn’t find version 8, i updated bluelinky to 7.6.2 -> pimatic-bluelink 0.2.35

Thx, will give it a try!

Regarding v8, maybe I had a look on a different bluelinky repo…

Seems there is a problem on backend side. Realized just now, that even their own app (Kia Uvo) was not updated since 19th of feb. Will report when the backend is back again!

After resetting the media base of the kia, it works fine again!
