It seems like the access token is no longer stored in the HA config root folder.
I dimly remember a changelog about that…
Maybe @ReneNulschDE can weight in on that?
Also, you need the file, not a shell to HA. You can get files off HA either via Studio Code Server, or Samba share.
I did read that HA and ssh had changes over the year, what is currently working in my installation is the “Terminal & SSH” Add-On from the official add-on store. I do run HAOS in a VM.
MB and I made a lot of changes since this posting and I assume its easier to have a service to download the images. I’m currently implementing this and will publish a beta later today.
In the beta you will see a new service mbapi2020.download_images. It will require the VIN. After starting the service a zip-file will be available locally.
Supporting the great post from @Thomas01, I have published a new beta version “v0.14.0-beta.1 - AdBlue Sensor, Images download”:

I am interested in the sideview car, it fits better.
Picture Element card - Sideways orientation
In my previous post, I described how to use picture elements to generate a view similar to the MercedesMe app (in an “upright” view), with the help of the images provided by Mercedes Benz.
Now to continue with a rotated, “sideview” version:
Let’s start with the
Requirements
The set-up of the sensors is the same as with the upright version, so start there.
The difference starts with the supplied images. The CSS of the picture elements card take care of rotating the images, except for the background image (XXXXXX_car.png), which needs to be rotated using your favourite image manipulation programme (GIMP comes to mind). I called the rotated image XXX_car_rotate.png in my case.
Also, only the window_right_*.png images are used for the states of the windows.
Picture Elements card
Just as before (replace all the 297100 in the filenames to your filenames of the downloaded zip from earlier, and XXX with your car name), except that now a rotate command is added (and some coordinates change).

Thanks @ReneNulschDE and @Thomas01 for the excellent work, ran the beta, got the images, followed Thomas’ tutorial and it all seems to be up and running (haven’t fiddled with the status of doors and windows yet, will do so another day).
Pics!
Would love to see other peoples implementation of status/control cards. Especially if they are image based.
Nice.
What are the wiggly lines on the hood?
And the Eco Scores look a bit like the Apple fitnes rings. How did you do the rings?
Thanks!
The wiggly lines are the preconditioning of the car - rather important when my better half wants to use the car during colder days 
The ring graph is made with the custom apexcharts card.
I might try and play around to change the colour of the car to the actual colour of mine (black) and also redistribute the icons to make it look more ‘balanced’…
Hi All and first a big thank you to @ReneNulschDE and @Thomas01 for their combined effort! I just installed the newest beta version v0.14.0-beta.1 and tried downloading the images. Unfortunately I got this error: Given VIN/FIN is not managed by any coordinator or excluded in the integration options.
What am I doing wrong?
First guess: The VIN/FIN needs to be in upper case or you have a typo. (Just copy the FIN from one existing sensor - see the attributes list)
That’s what I did in the first time. Second time exactly the same and now it works. Thanks!
First of all: Thanks for this great add-in.It is working here since some months and most of the time without any problems.
Here was a stupid beginners question before.
Sorry for that, i found the solution myself
Hi guys,
Thanks for the composent ! everything is OK but in my configuration i cant find the file mercedesme-token-cache for get zip from mercedes
i try to delete and add it’s the same …
Hi Matt, the file is in .storage folder in you HA-config folder.
You could install v0.14.0-beta1 too, this version has a HA-Service to download the file.
Thank’s Rene, now its perfect !
HI there:
I need help in creating a template switch for the preconditioning, but it doesn’t work at all…
If I call the service manually to start for instance, nothing happens in the car. Also vice versa, the attributes in the range_electric sensor are not updated, if I switch preconditioning “on” in MercedesMe app. Something is odd.
Interestingly the buttons in the overview to start/stop preconditioning are working fine…
Not sure if my changes in configuration.yaml are ok in principle.
standheizung_glc:
value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('sensor.ohv_g513e_range_electric', 'PrecondActive', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
service: mbapi2020.auxheat_start
data:
vin: W1N253xxxxxxxxxxxxx
turn_off:
service: mbapi2020.auxheat_stop
data:
vin: W1N253xxxxxxxxxxxxx
This is my switch definition (it works on my car):
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
eqs_precond:
friendly_name: Pre-entry Climate Control
value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.XXX_range_electric', 'precondNow') or state_attr('sensor.XXX_range_electric', 'precondActive') }}"
icon_template: mdi:air-conditioner
turn_on:
service: mbapi2020.preheat_start
target: {}
data:
vin: "{{ state_attr('sensor.XXX_car', 'vin') }}"
type: "0"
turn_off:
service: mbapi2020.preheat_stop
target: {}
data:
vin: "{{ state_attr('sensor.XXX_car', 'vin') }}"
Do you have the indentation right?
EDIT: Thats at least how it works with my electric car, I don’t know if a gasoline (or hybrid) car behaves differently. Ie. auxheat_start vs preheat_start.
