First guess: The VIN/FIN needs to be in upper case or you have a typo. (Just copy the FIN from one existing sensor - see the attributes list)

That’s what I did in the first time. Second time exactly the same and now it works. Thanks!

Hi Matt, the file is in .storage folder in you HA-config folder.

You could install v0.14.0-beta1 too, this version has a HA-Service to download the file.

HI there:

I need help in creating a template switch for the preconditioning, but it doesn’t work at all…
If I call the service manually to start for instance, nothing happens in the car. Also vice versa, the attributes in the range_electric sensor are not updated, if I switch preconditioning “on” in MercedesMe app. Something is odd.

Interestingly the buttons in the overview to start/stop preconditioning are working fine…
Not sure if my changes in configuration.yaml are ok in principle.

standheizung_glc:
value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('sensor.ohv_g513e_range_electric', 'PrecondActive', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
service: mbapi2020.auxheat_start
data:
vin: W1N253xxxxxxxxxxxxx
turn_off:
service: mbapi2020.auxheat_stop
data:
vin: W1N253xxxxxxxxxxxxx
1830

This is my switch definition (it works on my car):

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      eqs_precond:
        friendly_name: Pre-entry Climate Control
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.XXX_range_electric', 'precondNow') or state_attr('sensor.XXX_range_electric', 'precondActive') }}"
        icon_template: mdi:air-conditioner
        turn_on:
          service: mbapi2020.preheat_start
          target: {}
          data:
            vin: "{{ state_attr('sensor.XXX_car', 'vin') }}"
            type: "0"
        turn_off:
          service: mbapi2020.preheat_stop
          target: {}
          data:
            vin: "{{ state_attr('sensor.XXX_car', 'vin') }}"

Do you have the indentation right?

EDIT: Thats at least how it works with my electric car, I don’t know if a gasoline (or hybrid) car behaves differently. Ie. auxheat_start vs preheat_start.

Hi everyone, attempting to integrate this delightful addon for my 2018 vehicle.

Normally I utilize the Mercedes Me app to access the car. I do not see anywhere to create a PIN, though there is the option of biometric vs PIN access to the app. It doesn’t sound like that’s what is intended with the PIN configuration spot.

After adding the addon, and successfully logging in, I have no entities or cars still. This is in the US.

What are the next troubleshooting steps? Is the fact it is a 2018 vehicle an issue?

Thanks. Missed it by… that much!

1834

So, every now and then the app loses connection to the vehicle. Reload configuration doesn’t do anything. How do I reconnect it without deleting the entire integration and reinstalling?

Doesn’t happen with my car, @ReneNulschDE mentioned in his latest beta (v0.14.0-beta 1) that he’s continuing working on the authentification issue:

Next try on the ReAuth issue. (I can’t reproduce it and changed the logic a little bit)

Check out the beta and see if the issue resolves.

Hi @ReneNulschDE,

is it possible to force-start a charge while a charging interruption (“Ladeunterbrechung”) is active?

Thanks for the hint! The “preheat” fixed it.

Thanks a lot for all the information shared here. This is my take on a personalized dashboard for my car.

Hi @Thomas01 ,

There are some APIs around chargeoptstart/stop. I have never analyzed this in detail. I’m spending the whole May in south Europe without a laptop. :slight_smile:

Let us try this when I‘m back…

Best
René

PS: thanks for answering the questions here!

No worries, enjoy your absence from laptops and enjoy your holiday (?).

Huh, you use kPa as a unit for air pressure in The Nederland?
Or maybe just a fellow Engineer :wink:
