Description

Calling start_climate with a Canadian Kia EV9 fails and returns error code 15109.

The API builds the payload like this for EV cars:

payload = { "hvacInfo": { "airCtrl": int(options.climate), "defrost": options.defrost, "heating1": options.heating, "airTemp": { "value": hex_set_temp, "unit": 0, "hvacTempType": 1, }, }, "pin": token.pin, }

I dont know for other EV vehicules but at least for the Canadian EV9, Ive found out that it should be

payload = { "remoteControl": { "airCtrl": int(options.climate), "defrost": options.defrost, "heating1": options.heating, "igniOnDuration": options.duration, "ims": 0, "airTemp": {"value": hex_set_temp, "unit": 0, "hvacTempType": 0}, "seatHeaterVentCMD": { "drvSeatOptCmd": options.front_left_seat, "astSeatOptCmd": options.front_right_seat, "rlSeatOptCmd": options.rear_left_seat, "rrSeatOptCmd": options.rear_right_seat, }, }, "pin": token.pin, }

This is how Ive fixed it locally.
Hope this help

I used to be a dev in my old days, that's how I managed to find how to a fix this but I'm not familiar with GitHub and pull request mecanism and I dont want to make a mess. So Id rather share the fix and let someone else make the change
