Why the integration has been removed from Home Assistant in 2023.10.2.

Quick headsup for the Mazda owners here. It has been removed due to a cease and desist from Mazda, unfortunately.

    Hyundais and Kias literally have the defect of exploding into fire. The manufacturers say not to park indoors. That’s a great reason not to invest in one of their machines.

    I’ll take a broken third party integration any day over an unsafe car.

      That’s a false choice. Nobody is saying that there aren’t other good reasons to avoid a manufacturer.

      It’s all down to personal preference anyways. Cheers

      If you’re investing in a car, you’re either obnoxiously rich or don’t know what the word investing means.

        Sure, we can argue the semantics of it being the wrong word, but I would argue that a car can be an investment. A necessary way to get to and from work. Even if it’s ultimately a money pit that devalues the second you drive it off the lot, it’s a required part of living in a lot of North America. Don’t blame me for 100 years of suburban sprawl and steady dismantling of any decent mass transit.

        So no, it’s not that I don’t know what the word means, it’s maybe that we have a different understanding of the value of a car as an integral part of mobility based on our different geographies. If I want to do anything, I have to get on the highway. I’m sure if you want to do something you can walk down a few blocks to the high street.
