Hi
I just received a message from the BMW app, that there will be no support for thirdparty providers like Home Assistant (see printscreen attached, unfortunately only in german). Are there already some ideas oder solutions or will this be definitly the end for the BMW integration?
Best regards
Stefan
My thoughts on this:
Well officially the current installation is also not supported by BMW. So as long as the app will work on your mobile phone, @gerard33 and his team of magicians will figure out the API calls needed to retrieve data from BMW into homeassistant.
If I understood correctly, the integration and API connection with BMW will continue to work. However, features that are necessary for charging the vehicle will no longer be available to third-party apps. I assume this includes things like setting a charging target, etc.
It will still be possible to view the vehicle’s location and check the status of doors, windows, and similar features.
At least, that’s how I understood it.
This integration has stopped working for me today :-(.
Won’t authenticate, well, it does but almost immediately breaks again.
I have 2 and they are both up and down all day. It would really be a shame to lose this integration.
This is really sad from BMW side, I had to disable a lot of rules this morning due to integration stopped. I cannot see possible security issues for reading data from BMW via API on a logged-in account since you have to authenticate to BMW with username/pass/captcha token. Hope they find a workaround. I have a lot of rules configured to check lowest BMW SOC of the 2 vehicles I drive, then switch on that specific smart breaker to charge lowest battery first and also adjust Charging Amps / Charge Target based on battery state / pv panels charging state to solar system and home load power etc. I cannot charge 2x EV’s at the same time due to limits in our country of 13kW on Single Phase. Now the charging and switch on/switch off will be manual again
Same for me. Integration goes up, down, up, down few times a day and now, since this morning, there is no authentication possible 
Thankful for any inputs, I also charge my EV’s with this integration, my complete power management incl. house battery depends on this integration.

The BMW Integration authenticated this morning again and shows all statuses on the vehicles. API calls seems limited to a quota now. When I change a single field I receive message attached. Will check if 1 API call can be made every 30min as per message.
Following for updates.
I reauthenticated this morning, and at least for some hours now I’ve got it working.
there’s an active issue on this here BMW integration should handle call quota error · Issue #151500 · home-assistant/core · GitHub
Hi
if the API calls are limited, would this be an idea to disable auto pooling and create an automation for manual polling once per hour?
automation:
- alias: BMW iX1 once per hour
trigger:
- platform: time_pattern
minutes: "/60"
action:
- service: homeassistant.update_entity
target:
device_id: 123456789
Best Regards,
Stefan
