@gda1

I’ve found that a couple of things in the MB app that aren’t working for my car in HA

• window open/close function
• load compartment open warning

Please create a github issue and share the debug logs and the diagnostic report.

@Thomas01

I think one is if you are switching it on via the button in the app, and the other is if it switches on via a pre-defined time.

IMHO Correct

Thanks for the data. This is a bug in my component. You have a hybrid car and for this cartype the internal attribute is “distanceZE…” and not “distanceElectrical…” like for the EQs - my fault. I will fix it in the next version.

[ReneNulschDE (Rene Nulsch (on vacation until mid of Oct. - expect slower responses))]

Just a heads-up: MB will deploy some changes to the push-api (the api that my component is using). Please expect a downtime and potential problems afterwards…

MB Statement:

Push API - Scheduled Maintenance

Upcoming scheduled maintenance notice

While we strive to minimize any disruptions during the maintenance window, there might be brief periods of service unavailability for the Push APIs (vehicle signals and vehicle command responses).
Incoming vehicle data will be processed and can be retrieved once the maintenance is completed without any loss of information.

Start time

Aug 22, 11:00 CEST

Estimated duration

1 hour

Thank you! Looking forward!

I have published a release v0.17.0…

New

1. New translations: Polish, Czech, Hebrew (thanks to @piotrgt, @tomasz-soltysik, @ngocjohn, @avielj )
2. The range_electric senor got two new attributes distanceZEReset and distanceZEStart - this is for hybrid cars only.
3. New sensor distanceZEStart. Shows the distance driven in zero-emission mode since last start (or whatever start means for MB). This is for hybrid cars only.

Breaking Changes

Hopefully none

@VietNgoc Great card! I have a hybrid car. Is it possible to show the electric range at the top of the main card instead of classic fuel?

[VietNgoc (Ngoc John)]

Hi, can you please screen these attributes, what are their names in sensor electric? Thanks

@apachelance I’ve already figured it out, I didn’t consider the possibility that someone will have both options available. I have added this combination view if someone has a hybrid car.

[ReneNulschDE (Rene Nulsch (on vacation until mid of Oct. - expect slower responses))]

its the sensor value sensor.XXX_range_electric for hybrid and EQs

[apachelance (Andreas)]

Perfect @VietNgoc! Thanks.

Hi @VietNgoc,

I do have a weird behaviour with my (two) instances of the card.

My setup: I have two cards (for the same car), the only differences are the car pictures, where I have the light and the dark version. So I switch between the two cards with regards to the sun.sun entity.

The thing is, on the second card, the sevices are not accessible. Eben though they aere configured identically. Can you check?

The easiest way would be making the pictures templatible (hint, hint).

[VietNgoc (Ngoc John)]

Hi @Thomas01 , I just tried the conditions. I haven’t noticed any problem. I duplicated the base card, replaced the new images for the new card, left the rest settings. Visibility for the new card put sun.sun state equal to below_horizon. Old original card, added visibility to not equal to below_horizon. The original settings seem to be the same, except for the changed image. Did you set the condition opposite for the original card compared to the new one? I used duplicate method…

[Thomas01 (Thomas)]

Hmm, duplicating works, I did the second card by hand, I probabely have the error somwhere else. I’ll look into it more deeply.

[Thomas01 (Thomas)]

Turns out I‘m the idiot: I configured the services, but forgot to enable them.

[ReneNulschDE (Rene Nulsch (on vacation until mid of Oct. - expect slower responses))]

MB has completed the maintenance of the push api. Looks like the have done a good job - the websocket connection was stable without an interruption. So far I do not see any impact - but lets see what the next days will bring…

[Mosty (Christian Gundlach)]

Hi @VietNgoc,
thanks for your very well work! Everything works fine except the option to see the electric range. I’m really new to HA and don’t know where to put the sensor of electric range so that its shown like in the picture. Didn’t find a possibility to choose he range in the configuration either.

Thanks for your help!

[VietNgoc (Ngoc John)]

The added view is not in the latest release. It will be in the new one, which will be in couple days …

How to install HA Vehicle-images?
I am a new HA user. I own an MB EQA car and I would like to get a picture of the car on my dashboard. How to do it, simple instructions please.

[VietNgoc (Ngoc John)]

Here is tutorial from @Thomas01 to get the images

Mercedes Me Component

Download Images using Mercedes Vehicle Images API Mercedes has a slew of API for various applications, offered to businesses, predominantly for businesses in the EU, and most are available for purchase only. These APIs are not the one @ReneNulschDE is using for his Home Assistant integration. Luckily, some APIs are offered on a trial basis, without having a business in the EU. One of these is the Vehicle Images API, which can used by car dealers to present rendered pictures of the new or us…

[VietNgoc (Ngoc John)]

@ReneNulschDE, sorry to tag you here. I have a question about this change to the card, is there a way to assign this attribute doorlockstatusgas for EV/Hybrid versus fuel cars? Or is this attribute common for all vehicle types?
