Hi Home-Assistant User Group,

after focussing a few years on Mercedes cars, here a new integration for MySmartBike (Mahle). It’s an early version as always.

Github-repo: GitHub - ReneNulschDE/ha-mysmartbike: Custom Component to integrate MySmartBike (Mahle) data into Home Assistant

tl;dr: Sensor for State of charge and a device tracker for Mahle powered e-bikes

Happy to get your feedback!

wait 1min and disable the debug-log. Check the file for errors (lines with custom_components.mysmartbike).

Has anyone thought of being able to connect to the bike directly with bluetooth? I really want a method that can switch on and off charging on the ebike, if charge >95% then switch off. Has anybody done anything like that, communicating directly with bike using bluetooth?

I’m not aware of such solution. The bike can connect to one bt module only (AFAIK) and this would mean that when you ride the bike your mobile phone needs to reconnect first before you can use the bike/phone connection.

As long as the phone is the range of the bike, you can build an automation that stops the charging via a smart power plug. This component is refreshing the data every 5min by default.

I would really like to use your integration. I added them via HACS. However, when adding a new integration from MySmartBike across devices, I cannot log in. It always shows me the message “Authentication failed. Check that your email address and password are correct.” I have also changed the password several times. Does anyone have an idea how I can track down the error?

Hi @R3gan ,

First, please try to login with the same credentials on the website www.mysmartbike.com. If this works, please enable the debug-log. Check the home-assistant-log for errors and share it here.

Best

Many thanks for your response! Apparently you have to wait a few hours after changing your password. Now the error message no longer appears. However, it still doesn’t add the integration. I also tried adding it while connected to the bike.

I can log in via the browser. Unfortunately I cannot activate the debug log if the integration is not added.

Please take a look on the readme and search for Logging. There you can find a configuration.yaml entry to enable the debug log…

Hi Rene many thanks for your integration. Installation and access to mysmartbike cloud worked from the start and connection is stable. Could you also add an entity for the remaining km supported by battery. The odometer seem to show the total km of the bike,
Thx

Hi Andreas, welcome to the club. Sure, let me check what the Mahle API provides. BR Rene

Hi Andreas,

I have published a new version v0.4.0. The version contains a new sensor remaining_capacity (in km).

Hi Rene,

thanks for your quick response and implementation. Just updated the integration and added the new sensor. I need to check on the data as information received from the API are questionable - currently it shows 242km (I would be happy…) however in the Mahle App its 58km which seem to be more realistic. I’ll monitor in the coming weeks…

Hi,

you are right. this is the remaining capacity in “W” and not “km”. I will change it.
