I got no update from @m1n3rva as well after the issues from a few months ago.
What you can try in the meanwhile to see if your PR fixes the open_tilt issue is adding the component as custom component to your HA.
In the manifest.json you can replace
You have to make a release on your Github first with v0.5.5. I am not sure if referring to your Github like this works with manifest.json, but it used to work when the requirements where part of the py file so you can give it a shot.
Well regarding a custom component, after a little looking around got me to the āDevelopmentā section of the HA documentation, I didnāt get past the 2nd paragraph: āBefore you start, make sure that you have read up on the Home Assistant architecture so that you are familiar with the concepts that make up Home Assistant.ā
Iām afraid that learning a projectās architecture to make a one-liner code change isnāt very good ROI given my finite time on this mortal coil and the other demands life has of me.
I have managed to test the bimmer_connected library itself from the command line, and now I can confirm the addition of OPEN_TILT to the LidState Enums no longer causes account.update_vehicle_states to throw an error when the sunroof is tilted open.
Other than adding the directories, copying the files, editing the manifest and creating a github release, what besides a restart is necessary to get home assistant to use the custom component? I wondered if I should edit the name of the component in configuration.yaml, but I couldnāt find any documentation for that.
Thereās the customize entities section of the docs about assigning friendlier names (and the section of configuration.yaml where that can be done with nano), and thereās a āCustomizationā section in the hassbian section which doesnāt apply to my system . . .
Obviously since this is my first waffle Iām either gonna burn it or have it come out raw, but Iām not sure what the next step is. I skipped something, but donāt know what.
Iād sure like to be able to test it out. Iāve also pulled in some other uncommitted changes in the code that get sending POIs to work. Iāve been testing that out from the command line ā itās kind of a shame that BMW removed that from their website. Be nice to do that in HA.
Your list contains all the steps you need to do You donāt need to change any config items. The custom component, if correctly placed in the right folder, will override the standard component.
After a restart of HA check if you can find this in your log: 2019-07-22 16:17:58 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] You are using a custom integration for bmw_connected_drive which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you do experience issues with Home Assistant.
If thatās the case then you are using the custom component. If not, then you can post a screen shot of the folder directory so we can check if thatās all okay.
And here is some HA documentation regarding custom components.
Curious if the POIs PR are working, but letās first get your custom component working.
And it will work, as I am using it as a custom component myself as well, as I did some small local changes to the code
Ok, a filename error in āmanifest.jsonā prevented HA from trying to go further. Fixing that gets me some actual errors in the log:

For fun I removed that fragment at the end of the github url in manifest.json, and that was not the right thing to do. HA does not fully restart. Had to restore this morningās snapshot before I could use it again.
Oh, no. I never tried removing the folder . . . I knew I had a good snapshot that would save me some time to restore. I was able to return to a state just before I found that Iād mis-typed the manifest.json filename.
@roborob, cc @deluxestyle
I have added the updated library to Pypi and itās working now
I donāt have a sunroof so canāt test the LidState, that honour is up to you
Change the requirements part in manifest.json as follows:
I made the change and restarted and nothing broke, so so far so good. Hopefully tomorrow will be a suitable day to test the sunroof tilted open and I can add to this. Forecast looks not bad, so we will see . . .
New to this site here. Having been using BMW connected drive official HA component since last year. Until recently sometimes I found all its sensors are gone completely, and my custom lovelace appeared errors of course as they are all depending on them. Anyone has the same issue?
Been trying to follow the discussion to get this up and running again, but Iām facing a new error.
This is probably due to me, but Iām not sure how to proceed.

I restarted my HA instance on the weekend and had the same issue. I had to restart three times before it worked again. Iām not sure if it was a coincidence, but before the third, successful reboot, I opened the ConnectedDrive app and signed into the ConnectedDrive website.
You donāt need to change any config items. The custom component, if correctly placed in the right folder, will override the standard component.
