Kia e-Niro Climate not fully funktionable

[rotknecht]

I have a Kia e-Niro (2020, EU) and can also start the air conditioning with it. Unfortunately, the steering wheel heating, defrosting and rear window heating are not switched on, even though they are selected.

I can trigger this without any problem in the UVO app.

Use this automation:

alias: "Stromer: Klimaanlage starten"
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: time
    at: "07:30:00"
conditions:
  - condition: time
    weekday:
      - mon
      - tue
      - wed
      - thu
      - fri
actions:
  - action: kia_uvo.start_climate
    data:
      duration: 10
      climate: true
      temperature: 21
      defrost: true
      heating: "4"
      device_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
mode: single

What can i do?

No clue if this will work for you but give it a try, this worked on my 2020 Hyundai Kona, change heating: "4" to heating: "1" instead. Then ignore what the UI says.

That did the trick for the steering wheel, but for some reason the seats are not warming up. Any tips here?

This is my yaml:

alias: Heat Kona
description: Morning Heating of Kona
triggers:
  - at: "08:00:00"
    trigger: time
conditions:
  - condition: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.temperature
    below: 10
actions:
  - data:
      climate: true
      temperature: 24
      defrost: true
      heating: "1"
      device_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      flseat: "7"
      duration: 10
      frseat: "7"
    action: kia_uvo.start_climate
mode: single

Thanks.

Can you enable the heated seats from the app? afaik you can only enable things using the integration if you can also set it from the app. For example my Kona also has heated seats front and rear, but I cannot enable them remotely.

Yeah, I think you are right, I cannot indeed do it through the app.

I just noticed though that i need to trigger the automation 2 times, in order to get the steering wheel and defrosting working.

You have the same issue?

It works fine for me first try, this is my yaml code if you want to give it a try:

I noticed on mine that the duration variable also does not work on my model, it just turns itself off after either 5 or 10 minutes

actions:
  - action: kia_uvo.start_climate
    metadata: {}
    data:
      climate: true
      temperature: "24"
      defrost: true
      heating: "1"
