I have a KIA and the integration in HA is decent but it is through the KIA Connect server. Every so often, it asks to re-authenticate. This is the only integration in my HA that requires cloud account.
I have the same, I dislike the kia app it is so poorly laid out and difficult to find features. HA is better but kia have a lot of similar sensors that are difficult to interact with.
Really wish it could be local. I would go so far as to put my own sim in the car and point it to my own server only.
Yeah! All my switches and plugs are Z-Wave and, of course, local. My cameras are managed by HA, and, I even block them from going out to, and being accessed directly from, the Internet! HA is a time server for all my IoT and camera devices. I wish my KIA is local.
