Hi Richard,;

I’m not getting the values for my tire pressure:

  car_tire_pressure_rear_left:
        friendly_name: Tire pressure Rear Left
        value_template: '{{ states.binary_sensor.2_amu_833_tire_warning.attributes.tirepressureRearLeft }}'
      car_tire_pressure_rear_right:
        friendly_name: Tire pressure Rear Right
        value_template: '{{ states.binary_sensor.2_amu_833_tire_warning.attributes.tirepressureRearRight }}'
      car_tire_pressure_front_left:
        friendly_name: Tire pressure Front Left
        value_template: '{{ states.binary_sensor.2_amu_833_tire_warning.attributes.tirepressureFrontLeft }}'
      car_tire_pressure_front_right:
        friendly_name: Tire pressure Front Right
        value_template: '{{ states.binary_sensor.2_amu_833_tire_warning.attributes.tirepressureFrontRight }}'

I’ll keep getting this error:

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’].

Been working on this the whole day

Any idea ?

I have the exact same problem, no “.mercedesme-token-cache” is created in my config folder. running Home assistant OS on rpi fyi.

RhinoRich · December 22, 2021, 10:26pm

Well it looks like it’s not recognising the entity name “binary_sensor.2_amu_833_tire_warning”
Is it definitely correct? Does it expose the attributes you expect in Developer Tools?

Incidentally, since the time that mobiledude did his templates that I copied, Rene added many attributes as sensors. So it’s not strictly necessary to create templates for all of the attributes you want

weemaba999 · December 23, 2021, 11:21am

Hi Richard,

That’s exactly what I was thinking, but the entity “binary_sensor.2_amu_833_tire_warning” is correctly mentioned in the entities:

Any other idea ?
Kr,

Bart

ReneNulschDE · December 23, 2021, 2:46pm

Hi Sam,

please make sure that you run version 0.5.14 and restart HA after the update. Then please authenticate or delete the integration (plus restart of HA) and add it again.

BR
Rene

ReneNulschDE · December 23, 2021, 2:59pm

Hi Bart,

please use the state_attr() function to select the value.

value_template: '{{ state_attr("binary_sensor.2_amu_833_tire_warning", "tirepressureRearLeft") }}'

Check the yellow warning boxes here too

BR
Rene

PS: I have created an issue in the HA-core repo. Problem is that the entityId starts with a numeric value.

weemaba999 · December 23, 2021, 7:31pm

Hi,

I’m wondering, how have you transformed the state-badge (displaying the fuel %) into a gauge badge ?
Could you help me out ?

Kr,

Bart

rmertz3282 · December 23, 2021, 8:27pm

I can certainly try. I actually used the flex-horsehoe card nested inside the picture element card.

Here is the relevant code.

              - type: custom:flex-horseshoe-card
                entities:

                  transform: none
                  '--ha-card-background': transparent

rmertz3282 · December 23, 2021, 8:39pm

@weemaba999 If you’re interested. I actually took my dashboard one step further and made a custom button card that when pressed opens a popup that summarizes all of my data. Very handy in a mobile view.

weemaba999 · December 27, 2021, 3:53pm

Hi @rmertz3282,

That looks VERY AWESOME !!! very nice done ! If it’s not too much trouble, I’d love to have a look at the config

Kr,

Bart

rmertz3282 · December 30, 2021, 2:12pm

I use the decluttering card a lot but I think you can figure out what is happening.

              - type: 'custom:decluttering-card'
                template: car_template
                variables:
                  - entity: device_tracker.la221804_device_tracker
                  - person: person.ranman
                  - image: GLS450
                  - name: GLS
                  - filter: '*la221804*'
                  - fuel_level: sensor.la221804_fuel_level
                  - ignition: sensor.la221804_ignition_state

Then the template. Notice I’m using several other nested cards within the pop-up.

weemaba999 · January 1, 2022, 7:51pm

very nice Robert,

Do you also have an idea how to change the color of the icon, depending wether it’s locked = green and unlocked = red ?

Thx in advance,

Bart

robertklep · January 2, 2022, 7:36am

I think you’ll have to do that from Lovelace (and quite possibly only with something like lovelace_gen), I don’t think it’s possible to set icon color from sensor definitions.

SamiJalopino · January 3, 2022, 12:17pm

Hi all! I have an A 250 e with pre-entry climate control functions, but I can’t find the pre-entry switches in my HA entities at all. Does this function have some country/vehicle-specific restrictions I’m not aware of?

ReneNulschDE · January 3, 2022, 5:23pm

Hi @SamiJalopino ,

welcome and thanks for using this custom component.

There are two types of preconditioning: Aux-Heating and Pre-Conditioning

Depending on your car config you can call HA-Services with a button (or automation) for example:

Pre-Conditioning (for e-cars)

type: button
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: mbapi2020.preheat_start
  service_data:
    vin: VINOFYOURCAR
  target: {}

Pre-Heating (for cars with a secondary aux heating engine)

type: button
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: mbapi2020.auxheat_start
  service_data:
    vin: VINOFYOURCAR
  target: {}

See the docs for some more details and options.

BR
Rene

SamiJalopino · January 3, 2022, 5:27pm

Excellent! Thanks Rene, I’ll give it a go.

ReneNulschDE · January 3, 2022, 5:58pm

Hi all,

first of all happy new year and thank you to the active and inactive users of this component. The latest stats showing that every day a new user is joining the club (btw: thanks for sharing the HA analytics/usage data).

Around 4 years ago, I got my first MB car and I tried to integrate the car data into Home Assistant. Over the time, I learned some basic python, MB changed their app landscape a lot (to the better of course) and I tried to keep the speed of all the HA changes.

As some of you know, this component does not use the official MB API’s. Main reasons are that the inofficial APIs deliver much more data and the updates come in near to realtime.

Nevertheless, it should be clear that the MB-Dev team can close the door whenever they want. And as I know, that some MB-devs reading this thread: Thanks to the MB-Dev team, for the great development in the last years and thanks for not shutting down the possibility to use my own data in the application that I like.

Let me give you some insights what is planned for the next months (as long as MB is on the friendly side):

Adding some new services to control the interior esp. interior lighting. This needs some refactoring of the component load process, the MB-API is not the fastest here and a reauth is needed and I try to find out a way to do this without big interruptions.
I want to learn more about Lovelace and therefore I plan to deliver the component with some preconfigured UI components. (Thanks to all the contributors in the thread here - I learned a lot)
Fix the HA-units vs. MB-units problem - my plan is to add an option where you can swith between HA-unit sytem and MB-App-unit sytem.

What else do you want to see?

Thanks again - you’re active involvement here gives me the motivation to move on.

BR
Rene

PS: If you like the integration give it a star on the Github-repo…

TGILLY · January 8, 2022, 12:22pm

Hi Rene,
In the meantime I pretty much tried everything even completely re-installed HA and got the to same issue. Do you have any other options to try ? Thanks!

Hello, I have been having issues with this integration and can’t seem to find the cause.

ReneNulschDE · January 9, 2022, 6:09am

Hi @janz ,

Are you based in Europe or Noram? Does the feature work in the IOS/Android app? MY22 means model year 22?

can you enable “DEBUG ONLY: Enable save server messages to the messages folder” in the options of the integration. Restart your HA, wait 3minutes and send me the files out of the custom_integrations/mbapi2020/messages folder?
