I activated a geofencing zone in the Mercedes app and took a drive, leaving and re-entering the zone, but I don’t see any new sensors in the integration. What should I be looking for? Am I doing something wrong?
Did you reloaded the component after creating the fence in the app? Please check that sensor “geofencing_violation” is created.
Do you see the geofence “violations” in the MB app?
I have published a bugfix release v0.33.1:
Fixes
- Disable automatic component reload every 30min whenever the connection is blocked (China only) - fixes: #387

I have published a new release v0.34.0:
What’s New
-
Remove car from hub: Added the option to remove a car device from the integration directly through the Home Assistant device page. This is intended for cleaning up old or decommissioned vehicles that are no longer linked to your Mercedes-Benz account. If an active vehicle is removed, it will be automatically re-added on the next reload or restart of Home Assistant. (Fixes: #388)
Fixes
- Improved WebSocket reconnection error handling: Previously, unexpected errors during WebSocket reconnection attempts could cause the connection to fail permanently.
Documentation
- Updated README with region guidance for Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, etc.) — users should select the “APAC” region.

Unfortunately, I have already had the situation several times where my trunk was open in the morning, probably because someone unknowingly pressed the button on the remote control.
I now wanted to create an automation that alerts me if the tailgate is open for more than 5 minutes, but I can’t find a sensor that I could read for this.
From the vehicle-info-card, I know that such a sensor must exist, because the status of the tailgate is displayed there.
Can someone give me a tip from where I can get the status of the tailgate?
I have created a new binary sensor for this:
- binary_sensor:
- default_entity_id: binary_sensor.xxxxxx_trunc_closed
delay_on: 0:05:00
name: xxxxxx_trunc_closed
state: >-
{{ state_attr('sensor.xxxxxx_lock','decklidstatus') }}
And an alert:
trunc_open:
name: Trunc is open
done_message: Trunc is closd
entity_id: binary_sensor.xxxxxx_trunc_closed
state: "on"
repeat: 3600
can_acknowledge: true
skip_first: false
notifiers:
- mobile_app_xxxxxx

Thank you so much, with this information I was able to create my automation 
I had this situation a lot in the past, and also used a Home Assistant alert to fix this. The more permanent solution was printing a small cover for the trunk button: https://makerworld.com/en/models/861784-mercedes-key-trunk-button-cover
Nice idea.
I just called my Mercedes dealer to have the button reprogrammed from one long press to two short presses, as I saw in a YouTube video. This would probably solve the problem of accidental operation, but they seriously want €250 for the reprogramming. I politely declined and will now look for a friend with a 3D printer who can print it for me. Unfortunately, I don’t have one myself.
If I can’t find a friend, would you sell me 2 of those?
Sure, I can do that. But note that this doesn’t fit all the different key types Mercedes has now. It fit the one on my EQB fine.
Thanks, i have an EQA and will first try to search for a friend, but if I am out of luck I am sending you a mail.
I have published a minor release v0.34.1.
What’s New
- Updated icon set: MB changed the design of their logo last year. The new icons are delivered from the local HA-system now. (HA version >= 2026.3.0 required, older versions will show the “old” logo) (Thanks @Thomas55555)
Fixes
- Improved reconnection error handling: Previously, unexpected server-side errors during re-auth attempts could cause the connection to fail permanently.
- Translation updates (Thanks @antsund)
Full Changelog: v0.34.0...v0.34.1

Hello,
I got an A Class 2024 (latest Version) and I wonder why there is no PIN option for closing the windows? Because I can’t close my windows without the PIN. I only can open the windows, because there is an PIN option
I think for the windows_move option I also need a PIN Code
Windows close should work without a PIN.
Windows move requires a PIN. This is a bug in the frontend. (Update: Fixed. will be part of the next release.)
Workaround:
You can setup the PIN in the options dialog of the config entry - the PIN will be used in all calls:
Thank you! That works for me now.
I don’t know, but my car doesn’t close the windows without a PIN.Also in your describtion “Sicherheits-PIN, erforderlich wenn nicht in den Einstellungen gespeichert”…So i was thinking this option is required.
But your workaround is much better, so I don’t have put the PIN in all my scripts/automations.
I think my car doesn’t support windows move. I can only open/close all the windows.
