This is a major update, and although it should be backward compatible you should CHECK IF YOUR FLOWS STILL WORK!
I couldn’t get the app to connect when we got our Hyundai Inster in late March. I tried unsuccessfully a few times over the next couple of months. My app was updated to 2.2.0 and it finally connected. I’ve installed 2.3.0 & it is still working.
I’ve no flows to check yet as it hasn’t worked before but now it is working a couple of comments.
Is there a way to change distances to miles (I’m in the UK)? I couldn’t see any way of doing it.
Range estimate seems to be unnecessarily precise. See screenshot.
Thanks
Rick.
I will see if I can find a solution for that.
I can definitely fix that
Am I doing something wrong or … see capability ev_charging_state in the KIA app. EV is plugged in the EV-charger and status = plugged_out. Also after start charging and then stop charging this gets back to status plugged_out where I would expect Plugged-In. Thanks
Pls restart the app, wait 2 minutes, and send an app diagnostics report

I dont see anything wrong from your diagnostics report.
Be aware that Homey is not connected ‘live’ to your car due to Kia/Hyunadai api restrictions.
When you plugin/plugout the charger, the car has to report that itself to the Kia server. But it doesn’t always do that.
Secondly, it can take a while for Homey to see changes on the Kia/Hyundai cloud server (up to 15 minutes by default).
That is why there is a REFRESH button and a flow card in Homey. It will actively pull the current state all the way from the car, via the Kia server, into Homey. That refresh action can take up to 1 minute. If you do that often you WILL drain your car battery, and Kia can also lock you out of their online service.
If the issue remains even after doing a refresh, send another app diagnostics report right after doing the refresh and mention what is incorrect in the message.
@Rick_Heath Can you do an app restart, wait 2 minutes, and then create an app diagnostics report. In the message state what your current odometer and range values should be in miles.

You may have already spotted it but the range given by your app appears to be already shown in miles.
Hi,
I do realize all your tips above, thanks for that. I noticed this status not being correct in my situation (does it work with others in this topic?) testing below flow. As you can see I first do a refresh, then wait 1 minute and then I try to read the status. You might say: 1 minute is too short, but when I run this flow 5 minutes later again, it’s still not showing the Plugged_In status and the EV is still connected to the charger.
New version 2.3.1 is ready for testing:
- Implement unit aware handling of car data
- Improve capability migrations
- Cleanup inline comments
- Remove HP2016/19 warning
Thx @Rick_Heath for reporting details on imperial vs metric units. It appears Hyuandai/Kia uses imperial for some fields, and metric for others. So please test and verify all miles and Fahrenheit values are now correct in Homey.
Yes, it works fine for me (eNiro 2019). The only reason I can find why your car refresh wouldn’t work is when your 12V battery SoC is too low (lower then 50% or 65%, depends). A safety in my code then kicks in to not do a force refresh, since that will drain your 12V battery further.
So first make sure your 12V battery has at least 65% SoC. Secondly what you can try is reset your car’s unit (using the small reset hole next to the power button).
If all fails, put you car on the charger again, make sure the Kia app is reporting ‘charging’ and Homey is still reporting ‘disconnected’ even after refresh. Then restart the Homey app, wait 2 minutes, and do an app diagnostics report again stating what is incorrectly reported in Homey.
Odometer & range are now reporting in miles. The odometer graph now show previous readings as the km reading but now in miles. That may well be outside your control… Or I’ve co-incidentally encountered some sort of wormhole in the space time continuum!
Speed is still listed in km/h in both the insight screen & the middle one (with the speedometer icon), whatever that is called. Whether that is just labelling or whether the app will display km/h speed I can’t yet tell you as the car is parked up at the moment.
For temperature I think I will need to manually change the °F/°C on the car display to check what that does as it is currently set to °C. We do like mixing up our units over here!
With regards to range (now shown with 1 decimal place, thanks), I did wonder if, rather than it being km or miles, it might be simply a number & just assumes the same units as the odometer.
Also Kia/Hyundai likes to mix up units. The Homey app now shows the unit that the car is reporting itself. Your car reports speed in km/h. I could create an auto-conversion in the app based on the Homey setting (metric vs imperial). But what to do with mixing celcius and miles?
Celcius is the UK standard. AFAIK only the USA uses Fahrenheit. I think miles are the only non-metric unit in official use in the UK.
New app version 2.3.2 is ready for testing:
- Add PIN hint
- Show error on refresh when 12V battery is too low
- Fix speed for non-ccs2
- Convert speed to Mi/h when range is reported in Miles
- Fix Celcius and Fahrenheit handling (untested)
- Cleanup code
It would be very welcome if car owners outside EU could provide feedback. Even if everything works as it should!
Please restart the app and do an app diagnostics report after 2 minutes. That will send information to me on what/how car data is reported. I need that to verify the correct functionality of the Homey app, and also shows me if new features can be added to Homey.
Nice, hij werkt voor mijn Tucson
Now I noticed something strange. Today the KIA was unplugged and plugged in again. I checked before doing anything and indeed the Capability for ev_charging_state was plugged_in. All good. Then I run the flow above including a “Status geforceerd vernieuwen (eenmalig)” and after that the ev_charging_state changed into plugged_out. Also in the KIA mobile App status = “not connected”.
I started charging, refresh the KIA Mobile app and the status in the app became AC-Charging. I did not run the “Status geforceerd vernieuwen (eenmalig)” and the after next refresh of the Homey KIA app (is this every 10 minutes?) the ev_charging_state changed into plugged_in_charging.
I stopped charging and refreshed in the KIA Mobile app, the status changes again in the app to “Not connected”. Same to refresk in the KIA Homey app, ev_charging_state changed into plugged_out agin. Getting crazy overhere…by the way: I have a KIA Niro EV MY2023.
Conclusion: I don’t think there is something wrong with the Homey KIA app, but with my car something is wrong with the KIA mobile app / KIA cloud.
