Thank you!

known_devices.yaml.Hi, I am just starting with HA and BMW CD. I have added the following to my configuration yaml:
bmw_connected_drive:
name:
username: bmw
password: bmw
region: rest_of_world
read_only: false
Do I need to do anything else? I only see 1 new device in entities named “520d lock”. I have an active CD subscription (app works well) and my car is a 520D…
What can i do more/see more? how can I add “services” in below topic?
EDIT: No one?? 
I have error:
2020-01-24 09:29:10 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved

EDIT:
I do get my car to horn when I do:
But How do I get those nice lovelace tiles and button etc… I do only have 1 entitiy:
Any help :-)??
There is an issue filed at the “bimmerconnected” Github since Dec 19. I think that issue has to be solved, merged and included in HA.
Is there a solution for the issue in planning?
Hello,
Newbie here on Home Assistant.
I already setup some devices but I’ve an hard time with this component 
Do I need to download and put the bimmer_connected in the custom_components folder
OR if just adding the config in the configuration.yaml is enough to have it fully working?
What’s included in HA and what’s not ?
I have the latest version and run the official image in a VM.
The services do appear in the list of services (developer tools) but nothing on the dashboard.
What do I do wrong ?
Thanks a lot 
Help? Please:-)
You should only configure your settings in configuration.yaml. Downloading and placing the files is not required, it is part of HA already.
This is my setup for NL!
# BMW CONNECTED DRIVE
bmw_connected_drive:
bmw:
username: !secret bmw_username
password: !secret bmw_password
region: "rest_of_world"
As far as I know the lock still does not work on ‘older’ models. I have a F-series from 2011 and the lock does not work. Make sure you have a active subscription with ConnectedDrive, if the BMW app works you should have this.
Try to reboot HA, first time it took me a second reboot to get the services up and running. !
I have these services available, and they work. the lock is always greyed-out in my setup and the location or millage does not work.
Ehm… for me it also “works”, but the question goes a little deeper… I have 4 services available as far as I can see in developer tools:
And when I use sound horn in conjuction with my chassis number is sounds the horn.
But how do I get them in to a “tile” in lovelace?
And besides that, I get errors… (despite it works):

Hi, why only the “air ventilation” part in configuration.yaml and not Airco, light, horn etc?
anyone else having issues to get the component working today?
Worked today morning but since my last restart of hass.io today evening I does not connect anymore
Not working for me either:

The connected-drive portal works just fine and so does my app.
good to know. I’m getting the same error message. So it seems to be a BMW problem
Also broken here…
Invalid config
The following integrations and platforms could not be set up:
Please check your config.
Same here as of yesterday/today
Hello,
Same on my side. I had created an automation to update the parameters of my car, but it never really worked (error NOT_FOUND 404 in the HA logs, but today it’s UNKNOWN_ERROR code 400).
I don’t know if I’m going wrong with its configuration, which was not complicated, but it doesn’t seem very stable on a daily use.

I came here to see if I could get a fix for this, good to hear it’s not only me having problems and I’ll just have to be patient.
There’s a suggestion on the site for the bimmer_connected component that BMW have changed the name of the server used for retrieving the OAuth credentials.
I suspect it may be as simple as changing the definition of AUTH_URL in
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/bimmer_connected/const.py
to point at
'https://customer.bmwgroup.com/gcdm/oauth/authenticate'
but I don’t have a setup on which I can easily patch this in at present.
If I get some time later this weekend I’ll try and experiment, and submit a PR upstream; it may be a little while before that reaches us, though, if it works.
Anyone got a good way of monkey-patching this value in a running Home Assistant to try out?
