@gerard33 will you be bringing the message sending functionality over to home assistant?
That would be awesone.
How to get the location of the car in HA? I have no tracking device created… the bmw app does support it.
You should have a new entity called device_tracker.x where x is the name of the vehicle you supplied in your configuration.yaml.
For example, in the following config, the vehicle name would be “foo”:
bmw_connected_drive:
foo:
username:
password:
I also had to enable Vehicle Tracking in the iDrive of the vehicle itself.
I think I should, but I really have not…
This is my configuration.yaml:
This is my entities with bmw in it:
We are currently working on that.
@sender, have you also checked if vehicle tracking is activated in your car? See also the comment below.
I think I know every angle of my iDrive settings. But never seen that. Nevertheless it works in my bmw app, thus… any other tips?
Hi,
My HA only contains the location entity, no entities for all the other sensors of the car?
BMW 520dta 2015; anybody else have this issue ?
(Rebooted twice, no developer logs)
Older cars only support the device tracker and the services. Probably your car (being from 2015) doesn’t have the info available for the sensors. You can find more info here -> https://github.com/bimmerconnected/bimmer_connected
Hm would of thought I saw the same as in the BMW Connected App… Will have a look if I find my model in the git.
My car is not responding to anything at all since last week…

Yes, it failed for me as well. Didn’t look into it yet as I thought it could be a BMW issue
Bmw perform updates to their platforms on a Saturday. See if you can log in to their connected drive web portal; that’s probably down too.
I didn’t check the portal but it seems to be working again today.
Hi all I het this error from bimmerconnected
