The only way BMW can prevent people from accessing their APIs in reality is to turn them off and get rid of their moble app. 🤣

Where there is a will there is a way...

I use Home Assistant extensively:

• to set a different charging Immediate vs scheduled on the weekend because I have off peak electricity on the weekends. etc. see below
• 1 tap on apple watch (with a siri shortcut) to enable climate control instead of their barely usable apple watch app
• track my mileage over time, tire pressure etc

Basically it lets you do things that aren't supported by the app (as long as the functionality exists in their API) and alot of things I missed coming from Tesla.

Mine is broken now too you can see I hope someone comes up with a fix soon and/or BMW stops being dickheads about pennies worth of API usage per month on their $100K cars...
