Charging schedule

[felixnurse]

Kia has a bug where the charging schedule is forgotten. Not sure if it's in the car or the service. I have an automation to catch when the schedule is forgotten so I know to reset it before plugging it back in and wasting money.
It seems like you are able to add services for most elements of the app.
Please, please, please could you add a service to setup schedules so it can be synced with off peak electricity tariffs?

Start charge is already supported as a service. Just create a new automation to start charge at the time or condition you like. Should work but let us know!

This is awesome! Love that you are interested in helping out. A key reason items like this haven't moved is because I don't own an electric car. I really is easy to add a service stub out to this repo. The hard part is understanding the API and mapping the values. Adding sensors is also really easy if we know the path. Happy to point you in the right direction on this as to what areas you need to edit to add this. Would that work?

As for the visual studio side best route is a https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/development_environment/
@fuatakgun wrote me steps on how to use this for a custom integration like this awhile back. I will see if I can find those steps.

Other less ideal route is using your prod instance and editing the files in visual studios via samba but that isn't recommended.

Here is a few example PRs that show the basics:
Adding a service start to finish to a single region: https://github.com/fuatakgun/kia_uvo/pull/169/files
How an example of a EU service instead of the above region: https://github.com/fuatakgun/kia_uvo/pull/357/files
Adding a sensor with existing data. You simple replicate this PR but with the correct fields, icons and data path: https://github.com/fuatakgun/kia_uvo/pull/244/files

As it is also for my own benefit and I like to code in my spare time, it actually is a no-brainer. And yeah, it was already clear to me it looks like there isn't someone contributing to this repo with an electric car, so happy to help out there.

The link in your comment is exactly the link I used to get the development environment up-and-running. It would be great if you can find those steps back.

Thanks for the links. I'll look into them.

@kunalkhosla Are you able to chime in on dev container usage? I see you added the dev container config.
