Hi everyone, I’m new here and also a newcomer to HA! I tried to integrate Mercedes ME as described, the integration is visible, no entities appear!
What am I doing wrong? What did i forget Can someone give me a few tips, thanks for any support.
The pre-entry climate control can be set with a service call. If connected to an active wall box or charger, this will also enable the battery pre-conditioning.
- type: picture-elements
elements:
- type: service-button
title: Deactivate
service: mbapi2020.preheat_stop
service_data:
vin: W1XXXXXXXXXXX0
target: {}
style:
top: 80%
left: 80%
- type: service-button
title: Activate
service: mbapi2020.preheat_start
service_data:
vin: W1XXXXXXXXXXXX0
target: {}
style:
top: 20%
left: 20%

The range automatically uses km as it’s a distance entity and HA can be set only metric or imperial. It will be miles if you change to imperial, but then you will also get fahrenheit instead of celsius, etc.
Create another entity in node red or a template in Configuration.yaml as a workaround.
My implementation for the EQC (based on mobiledude’s) and others are searchable on this thread.

Hi all,
Slightly off-topic post here.
I subscribed to several Mercedes Me services to use with this integration. They recently expired and I’m trying to renew them (UK), so that I can get the status back into HA once again.
One that expired was “Remote Retrieval of Vehicle Status”, which is the one that I need to get things like Odometer, Warning Lights, Window status, Charge Status, etc.
In the Mercedes Me app, it lists this service with a Buy button next to it, but when I click on Buy to renew it, it takes me to the Mercedes Me store, which doesn’t list the Remote Retrival of Vehicle Status as an option.
Anyone got any idea how I can renew/repurchase this option? (I have a 2016 C350e if that makes any difference).
(I’ve tried reaching out to Mercedes, but you can only email them and I’ve had no response after several days).
Thanks!
This is my script… seems to do nothing 
alias: EQC Heater on
sequence:
- service: mbapi2020.preheat_start
data:
vin: W1XXXXXXXXXX
type: '0'
mode: single
icon: mdi:radiator
I’m not familiar with script syntax as I’ve never used them but looks fine. I think if you omit type: it must default to 0 as it’s not in the service call I use from lovelace, which I know works fine.
Thank you!
the ‘type’ field breaks the automation - it works without it 
Type 1 is for older cars who do not support the preheat “now” command, in this case i use
“immediate” command. Default is 0.
It would be cleaner if the data coming back from the API is represented as it’s unit of measure (also coming back in the API) rather than what the system is set to. I’ll do this work-around if Rene can’t get to this tweak.
Did you sign-in to the integration?
Have you checked the logs?
… it’s a bit tricky to try help out without a few more details on what you did/didn’t do…

Hey Larsen, after reinstalling the integration, MB-Me works for me too. Sorry for my minimal description and thanks for your feedback. Greeting

Hi @Mobiledude & @ReneNulschDE ,
Love your programming and I’m trying to make a new view in my lovelace to have this kind of integration for my GLE 350 DE
I’ve copied and altered the sensors file into my sensor.yaml file, but unfortunately, the sensors are not visible on my picture elements card. Is sensors. yaml the correct file to put the template sensors in

HI Robert,
Where do you put this code ? Directly in configuration.yaml ? Or in template.yaml (include folder)
Thx !!
Bart
It’s Richard, but no problem
Yes, I put all my code in the configuration.yaml, but you can do it in any separate yaml as long as it’s included.
I assume you’ve clicked on the configuration checker for errors? Next check Developer Tools to see if they are exposed and working as expected.
Sorry Richard :-),
I’ve tried several things, including pasting into the configuration.yaml. When I put it at the configuration.yaml, it interferes with my other declarations in that file, ending up in following error:
Invalid config for [light.template]: [sensors] is an invalid option for [light.template]. Check: light.template->sensors. (See ?, line ?).
Invalid config for [sensor.template]: invalid template (TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ‘end of print statement’, got ‘_amu_833_tire_warning’) for dictionary value @ data[‘sensors’][‘car_tire_pressure_front_left’][‘value_template’].

I know I can’t put the - platform: template under my grouping of lights, but have no clue how to solve this. Creating a different .yaml file in the include folder didn’t help
Kr,

Hi Bart,
It’s a simple fix. After (or before) your light group, enter the car sensors starting like this:
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
Hi Richard,
Unfortunately, still have no sensors available. Checked for the entities in developer tools, but they AREN’t recognized…
Maybe something to do with spacing ???
sensors:

No, it’s the first two lines. Replace with those in my previous post.
Hi Richard,
How stupid of me Feeling ridiculous
However, now the entities are visible and my picture template card is populating… still a lot of no-matches, but probably that has something to do witch mapping of the entities:
Thanks a lot Richard, you helped me out !
Kr,
Bart
Hi RICHARD,;
Last question
How did you display everything in your lovelace ? Are you using grid or stack-cards ? Just curious about your code
Thx mate,
Kr,
Bart
Hi Bart,
Grid & picture elements. If you scroll back far enough you can find all of my code (based on mobiledude’s implementation).
