Mercedes Me Component

Hello,
I write you a Message.
Thx a lot
Have a Nice day

I am a little embarrassed to ask – I am blaming it to be the rookie :blush:
Could anyone give me some starting point on how to call “battery_max_soc_configure.”
I guess I am missing the idea how to call /start the service.

Hello, always ask - there are no stupid questions… (only lazy non-searching users :-))

“Service” was renamed to “Actions” in Home Assistant language some months/years ago. You could use actions everywhere in HA - in automations, buttons, voice and so on…

See here for some more details.

You can test the action via “Developer Tools”/“Actions” - select the Service/Action and an UI with the options gets rendered.

thanks @renenulschde - got it
and is working for me (removed my VIN in Screenshot of course) :slight_smile:

I have published a new version v0.24.0…

New:

  • This release adds the option to overwrite the precondNow capability. This could be helpful in case the precond-buttons are working but not the switch. Fixes #324 - You can find the setting in the “configure” dialog of the integration.

Fix:

  • Add the capability check for the lock. The lock will not be created whenever the capability “DOORS_LOCK” is false.

The release is addressing the topics raised by @ajd_ht and @BennyInc

Thanks to the Supporters

Hi :slight_smile: since last week I also drive an EQE and I’m very interested in the ChargeControlConfigure option. Is there a way I could test this?

Hi, I have decided not to implement ChargeControlConfigure. In all my test cars (EQB, EQS, EQV) the option is not available. Please use the second approach with Charge Breaks.

Hm, that would not work, as I wanted to charge on solar… Do you know if the interface is also missing in the EQE? (I’m wondering if all of your test cars don’t have it)

What is your use case/scenario for minSoc? Normally, a flexible/automated chargeBreakConfig should do the same.

Send me (mbdev.f2443-at-nulsch.de) an diagnostic report of the mbapi2020 component and I can check the capabilities of your car.

v1.9.0

New Features :tada:

Fixes :bug:

Nice release. Thx. Would it be possible to make the map dynamic? - whenever a device_tracker gets a new location - the map could be updated…

Thx for your great work.

PS: I plan to ride my bike from Vienna to Leipzig at the end of May and also pass through Prague (26th or 27th depending on how fast I am). Let me know if I can invite you for a real coffee/beer.

I also charge with PV via charging breaks (EQE). If you are interested I could share my approach. I have a very dumb wallbox with no integration in HA whatsoever. But I do get data about PV production and SOC of house battery that helps me to do some automation by controlling the charging via charging breaks.

To be honest. This should be an official integration of HA. Using it for years. Now with my AMG, soon with my new E450.

I just love it.

Kudos 4 you @ReneNulschDE

Thanks for the flowers. However, I have no plans to create an official integration. Main reasons:

  • I use an unofficial API where changes can happen out of the dark
  • I would loose the flexibility to publish fixes out-of-band.
  • I had to rewrite the integration to get it through the PR process of the core team.

and I don’t drive a Mercedes anymore (or better very seldom)

If someone would like to do it, feel free - I would support it with my current knowledge.

Hi Rene,

since V0.25: Setting the charging program seems to be broken:

MercedesME 2020: Charge program configure → Vin → for example: 2 (home) → nothing happened,
Changing by app works

Log: Car action: CHARGEPROGRAMCONFIGURE failed. error_code: CMD_FAILED, error_message: None

Any Ideas?

@Thomas01 : Does it still work for you? Can I use your mbred to test it?

@Jeepersfinest : If you want to share your car with me for a test. send me an email [email protected]

@ReneNulschDE is it possible to remote start the car? I am able to do it in the MB app but cannot find the switch in the HA extension, only see lock/unlock

Yes, Check the HA actions (former name Services) and look for the actions listed under MBAPI2020…

You can use these actions in a button or automation, or, or, or
