Hello @ReneNulschDE
I have enabled auxheat in client.py with:
car.auxheat = self._get_car_values(
c, car.finorvin, Auxheat(), AUX_HEAT_OPTIONS, update_mode)
All attributes are shown, but when I start aux heat it shows only one or two of the attributes:
Anything I can help to enable auxheat working correctly?
Thanks, Markus
Hi Markus,
This just old code from the old component. But you can help. I have no car with AuxHeat.
Switch on the save to file mode to true. see https://github.com/ReneNulschDE/mbapi2020/blob/43161ff9124008a2b32f9a21e03920a13f3ab24b/custom_components/mbapi2020/client.py#L47
restart HA, wait few minutes, start the auxheat on your mobile phone.
send me the jsons out of the messages folder in the custom_components/mbapi2020.
Then I can check what needs to be adjusted.

Hi Rene,
i think this has been discussed some days ago but i noticed that the state precondActive seems to be still broken. Starting precondition and the state attribute always returns false.
Hi,
I have published a new version 0.4.0.
New sensors:
New switch:
New Lock
New Services
Changes:

Auxheat works for me now. Thanks Rene!
Wow, please share this āCardā ā¦THX uwe
Thanks again RenƩ for your excellent work on this.
Today I was frustrated that the Mercedes app did not notify my that my window apparently was open, so I wondered, why canĀ“t I automate this myself. My thought was that I trigger a notification based on the ignition being off and when the window or lock open. The below code is what I was thinking of, but I could not find any documentation on the ignition_state, so itĀ“s based on the states I noticed. Has anyone tried this and a better way or suggestions?
- id: car_window_notification
alias: Car window open notification
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.xxxxxxx_ignition_state
to: '0'
for:
minutes: 1
condition:
condition: not
conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.xxxxxxx_windows_closed
state: 'On'
action:
- service: notify.mobile_app_rene_s_iphone_11
data:
message: 'Car window open'

- id: car_lock_notification
alias: Car unlocked notification
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.xxxxxxx_ignition_state
to: '0'
for:
minutes: 1

condition: not
conditions:
- condition: state

here are the values
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"
I like your approach. Other option could be to measure the distance between your phone and the car.
{{ distance('device_tracker.phone1', 'device_tracker.yourcar_device_tracker') }}
Nice one! That would however only work if you were the only one using the car. In my case itās me or my wife.
This you could solve with the closest function. see https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/templating/
You learn something new every day! definitely worth a shot! Thanks!
I love this component and it really works well, but I do see comments mentioning some sensors, etc. that I donāt see, which Iām sure is to do with my subscriptions.
Is there a guide which says which APIs and which services you need to subscribe to for the various devices and sensors?
Iāve subscribed to the following APIs:
In terms of Mercedes subscriptions I have:
Are there any other APIs I should be subscribing to, or any other services?
What would the Vehicle Monitoring, Remove & Navigation Services, and Stolen Vehicle Help give me that I donāt already get?
I canāt see things like charging status or location.
Thanks
Hi @DerekO,
this component does not use the BYOD api currently, my component is imitating the mobile app. You should see all sensors that are available in the MercedesME App (US/CA: MercedesME Connect). Please check the service description of the additional services in the app as this depends by region/country/car.
Vehicle Setup is the core and enables most of the services.
But let me try to answer it high level:
Vehicle Monitoring = Location data is available (you could use the device tracker in HA)
Remote & Navigation Services = Focus on services around electric cars and charging
What do you miss?
BTW: If you would like to use the official API then @Giorgio_Ravera has done a lot of work. please check the posting in this thread around Octā 2020.
thx holger, canāt find the pic without values ā¦ yaml works well! thx again
Hi from Sydney Australia here. What settings should I be using for LOCALE and COUNTRY CODE for Australia/Asia Pacific?
I have added the integration successfully and it seemed to connect ok with en-AU , AU but no entities are showing up even after a HA restart.
Any Ideas?
Hi,
what mobile app do you use in Australia?

Great work on the new update. For some reason I donāt seem to have the lock. Iām trying to trouble shoot the cause. If I figure it out Iāll come back to you.
Rene,
Which json value are you looking for to build the lock? I tried calling the door_lock service and received the following.
āVIN unknown or feature not availabe for this car.ā
Strange because it worked previously. In fact I had created my own lock template which worked perfectly
lock:
- platform: template
name: GLS Lock
value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.la221804_lock_status', 'off')}}"
lock:
service: mbapi2020.doors_lock
data:
vin: "{{ states.sensor.la221804_car.attributes.vin }}"
unlock:
service: mbapi2020.doors_unlock
data:
vin: "{{ states.sensor.la221804_car.attributes.vin }}"
