@ReneNulschDE It was jan. '21 when I posted this message below :-), now it is time to move on. Thank you very much for all your hard work and effort you have put into this integration for all these years already. Decided to switch to a Tesla (lease) so I won’t be using your services anymore. Keep up the great work for this community for all current and future MB drivers! Much appreciated! Mercedes Me Component - #558 by Mobiledude

The map on the card is build with leaflet open source library, same as in HA. Google map is not free. :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:

Wouldn’t you mind share your images folder? I have an EQB and have no clue how to get these images. Rene is mentioning a beta version to grab these images but couldn’t figure out where it is :slight_smile:

I apologize that this is such a stupid question, but I’m only a few days into switching over form Homeseer and there is a simple concept that is going over my head with some of these HACS integrations. I’ve got HACS in-place, seemingly working properlty and I’ve added a couple integrations. With this one, for instance, it says:

  • Use the “Add Integration” in Home Assistant, Settings, Devices & Services and select “MercedesME 2020”.
  • Use your MB-login email address. Your will receive a 6-digit code via email (valid for 15min).

I’ve completed the Add Integration part, after the restart, but I don’t understand where the jump to MB-login happens? I feel like I’ve poked around every, at least 10 times, so I assume I’m missing some YAML configuration or something.

Thank you, in advance, for helping my past this basic hurdle that seems to be holding me back!

Hi, Welcome in the Home Assistant World :wink:

There is no need for any yaml stuff …

I assume you have installed the MB-component via HACS. Please restart HA after the download. Then refresh your browser window with for example Ctrl+F5 on Windows. Now go to the Settings, Devices + Services… Click on the " + Add Integration" button on the right-bottom side and search for Mercedes or MBAPI2020… →

Let me know if you need more help…

PS: Maybe you have installed the “mercedes_me_api” component from @Giorgio_Ravera - this is an old component. MB has stopped the public api… - please use the MBAPI2020 component…

Thank you very much! I’ve got my server going through some other reboot stuff now, but will walk back through this. Thank you!

This did it! I was missing the part where an HACS Integration becomes searchable after adding through HACS - makes sense now! Thank you!

If anyone is up for another dumb noob question, since I’m still not there after watching 3 videos and perusing numerous sites. How do a I add a custom card, like the ones presented in this thread, to my HA? I tried it with @VietNgoc cool card, but can’t seem to get it to show up. I downloaded the components and added the Resources Config, I think.
If it helps, I’m running HA OS in a VM on TrueNAS.
Thanks again!

Got it - just needed a couple more restarts and a couple more drinks! Now I’m truckin!

I have a question about @VietNgoc’s custom card. I’ve added a custom button to show fuel in litres:

> {{float(states('sensor.*******_fuel_level')) * 43/100 }} 
> ({{int(states('sensor.*******_fuel_level'))}}%)

If I click the card I get this

I’ve tried various flavours of YAML to show info but can’t get anything. What should I be doing?

You have no lovelace config for this button. Config for a custom card should look like the normal yaml format for lovelace

Got it. I missed out the dash.

Hi @ReneNulschDE

I’ve a question regarding the current version of your integration.

In the official MB app I’ve now finally the possibility to set the temperature for the auxheater. Previously it was just possible to see which temp was the last chosen value (in MBUX of the car). Here’s a screenshot from the app:


However, in the integration this feature of being able to now set the temp, same as in the app, seems to be missing or did I miss something?

Thank you!

Hi Stefan, setting the temperature is not available in this component yet. If you like to help me with some data then send me a diagnostic report to [email protected] and we can discuss the next steps 1:1. BR Rene

Update: And: I assume you mean the pre-entry-climate or preconditioning function and not auxheat, right? It is an auxheater car. And we can use the TEMPERATURE_CONFIGURE method. I’m working on it.

@Thomas01: Can I use your car again to analyze the traffic?

Yup, go aheadf.

Now I’ve got the card working I’ve noticed an error in the Eco card. It shows the bonus range in km in the chart but miles in the Scores section (miles is correct).

Yep, I’ll prepare a fix in the next release. :+1:

@VietNgoc - just updated to v1.4.0 and I can’t get the map pop up or services dropdown to work. It’s also not letting me edit the buttons, if I click on the edit arrow to open the config nothing happens. I’ve refreshed, restarted etc. but not working.

@gda1 Try clear browser cache with hard refresh…
