I just installed the Kia Uvo integration via HACS but am concerned with settings causing 12v battery drain on the car. Anyone else have this set up and willing to share their experience with it?

    Doesn’t this just integrate by polling Kia’s cloud service?

    What setting(s) could cause excessive battery drain on the vehicle?

      There seems to be an interval in which the app actively actively polls data from the car. It defaults to 4h and only during daytime.

      I guess if you set that to a very short internal and the car is not currently charging (at which point the 12V battery does nothing) there could be quite some battery drain.

      That said, draining the 12V battery of an EV to the point where you get problems seems difficult.
