Quick headsup for the Mazda owners here. It has been removed due to a cease and desist from Mazda, unfortunately.

    Recently certain Mazda Information, including proprietary API information, was used to create code and information posted to GitHub.com identified in repository of bdr99 ([private]). This repository contains code developed in python (https://github.com/bdr99/pymazda) and javascript (https://github.com/bdr99/node-mymazda), and appears to have been uploaded and used to create computer code associated with home-assistant.io and mobile applications. MNAO analyzed some of the code and determined that the code provides functionality same as what is currently in Apple App Store and Google Play App Store.

    Wow, what a rediculous statement that has absolutely nothing to do with copyright. As far as I’m aware you can’t copyright the functionality of your app

      Yup. Honestly they don’t have a leg to stand on. The dev was well within his rights to not comply. Though Mazda would potentially have hit them with numerous frivolous suits in response.

        That’s exactly it. They will punish transgressions by financially ruining the targets with protracted lawsuits.

        And sue in a corrupt/rigged jurisdiction
