BMW kills Home Assistant integration to “protect security” [video] (youtube.com)

I was actually quite surprised when I saw that I could connect my car to HA and that the integration was fully featured, with a lot of stats and entities exposed.

I didn’t have time to make much use of it, but I’m still quite sad to see it go. It was nice to be able to glance at the current range, tire pressure, and overall status right from home.

The same stats will be available in the application but, with this gone, we are again, an internet that is even more closed and fenced.

As the product offering has changed after purchase. Would this not be grounds for returning the product for a full refund?

…only to be rebranded and reintroduced in a few months for a modest monthly subscription? /s

Do we really need Louis Rossman videos here? There must be some more serious article about that.

I'd appreciate an article that I can read in peace while drinking my coffee in quiet.

This is the best way to say "our security sucks".

Thanks OP for the post,I will use at a conference yet another example of companies that are not competent in security and in case of problems go the legal way or cut stuff.
