Would it possible to get the start switch and lock control for this api? Those are the 2 last items for my setup :grin:

Hi,

I have published a new version 0.3.1:

New Sensor:
Car - Show information about the state/result of last executed action and received messages
EngineState (@rmertz3282: Thx for your contribution)
remoteStartActive (@rmertz3282: Thx for your contribution)

Car Sensor sample:
command_states

Breaking Change:
Sensor values and attributes are shown based on the regional settings of the MB-App now. If you have some special calculations like km/h to mi/h, please check the values.

Fixes:

  • Sensor gets updated only im the timestamp of the attributes are newer. (Protect agains some race conditions, when to many messages come in at the same time)
  • Missing Tire Sensor attributes added again

Others:
We saw a lot of messages around the ā€œcustom_componentā€-security issues in the last days. I have reviewed my code again and have not found any related wrong code usage. But please feel free to check the code too.

Hi,

I have published a bugfix release 0.3.2.

This should solve the ā€œbinary sensors not updatedā€ problem. Will I ever understand this async stuff in HA? :thinking:

Any feedback is welcome. I have tested the parkbrakestatus. Looks better now.

Hi @iptvcld,

until the lock is implemented you can use the template-lock.

Change the YOURLICPLATE and Wxxxxxxx.

Sample:

lock:
  - platform: template
    name: Dev Car
    value_template: "{{ is_state('sensor.YOURLICPLATE_lock', '2') }}"
    availability_template: '{{ states("sensor.YOURLICPLATE_lock") != "unknown" }}'    
    lock:
      service: mbapi2020.doors_lock
      data:
        vin: Wxxxxxxx
    unlock:
      service: mbapi2020.doors_unlock
      data:
        vin: Wxxxxxx

And Iā€™m sure get the switch done based on this example too. Here is the doc to the template switch and the service to start the engine is mbapi2020.engine_start

Hi @iptvcld,

you deleted your post, but ā€¦

why not installing version 0.3.3 and use the new ignition sensor.

  • Ignition state
    Internal Name: ignitionstate

Values     Description_short     Description_long
"0"        "lock"                "Ignition lock"
"1"        "off"                 "Ignition off"
"2"        "accessory"           "Ignition accessory"
"4"        "on"                  "Ignition on"
"5"        "start"               "Ignition start"],

Hi @fbrannvall,

this should be fixed in v.0.3.4 - Was no HA magic - just a missing comma in my code :frowning:

So far everything is working great. Thank you Rene!!

743

hmm still dont have the tire sensor; i used to have it on the old API. odd

744

Anyone see this message before?
Car action: DOORSUNLOCK failed. error_code: RIS_FORBIDDEN_VIN, error_message: VIN does not belong to user

I have confirmed i am using the VIN that it picks up via the API and also same VIN in the MerMe app. I can unlock the doors via the app ok but when i try via this service, i get the noted error

745

I had this issue when I registered for the Mercedes developer website using a different e-mail address than for Mercedes Me.

746

thanks for the message; yes i have confirmed i am logged in with the same emailā€¦ Odd i was able to do this before all the updates yesturday

747

Hi,

Could you enable the debug mode and check if you really transfer the right vin?

Unlock is working for me.

Rene

748

Yeah, no issues here either.

749

Thanks for testing. We discussed the topic via private message and found the following reasons:

  • VIN needs to be written in UPPERCASE
  • Car needs to be in an area with mobile network coverage

For what itā€™s worth the last update has been working perfectly for me.

Thank you for your time and effort.

Hi,

You are using the old component. This does not work anymore.

Please scroll up and check the new mbapi2020 component.

Thanks. It had been working fine, didnā€™t realize there was a new version.
