Hi there, based on the discussion in the topic of the now deprecated MyBMW binding, i created a solution to receive data through the new MQTT datastream. [image] MyBMW Binding Bindings [MyBMWBindingImpression] It’s time to distribute the first drop of the My…

Hello, Thanks for putting this together! Trying the link you provided to set up the CarData, I cannot log in at this link, despite having a BMW connected drive account. I’m in the US and wondering if the link to geo specific? If I go to https://www.bmwusa.com/ , I can log into my account with my …

@Bredmich thanks for the quick reply! I found this info, where under the “2. Technical registration” → “2.1 Step 1: Generate your client ID” section it has a link to the world wide portals: CarData Customer Portal However when I follow this for the US, it tak…

Hi, the token setup is not working anymore. I get the following message. Any ideas? 2026-01-30 10:13:30.991 [ERROR] [omation.openhab-js.BMW_Token_Refresh] - BMW API returned error 2026-01-30 10:13:30.991 [ERROR] [omation.openhab-js.BMW_Token_Refresh] - Error Code: invalid_request 2026-01-30 10:13:…

The response looks good but it seems like BMW changed something, so the rule can´t read the parameters. I´ll have a look. BMW removed the parameter verification_uri_complete and the rule failed. I changed it to verification_uri and combined it with the user_code manually. New version is posted i…

Hi, the update is not functioning yet. 2026-01-30 18:22:30.702 [INFO ] [omation.openhab-js.BMW_Token_Refresh] - === RETRY ATTEMPT - Second try after initial failure === 2026-01-30 18:22:30.703 [INFO ] [omation.openhab-js.BMW_Token_Refresh] - Starting token refresh... 2026-01-30 18:22:30.774 [ERROR…

That‘s the refresh, you need to start with the Token Setup.

Please check that your CarData Client is still active because the error points in the direction of an inactive CarData Client. The provided access grant is invalid, expired, or revoked. See steps 1 and 2 of the BMW Portal.

I kind of gave up on implementing this because i kept running into trouble. Recently i stumbled into bmw-mqtt-bridge, which is quite easy to set up and seems to work really well: GitHub - dj0abr/bmw-mqtt-bridge: BMW CarData MQTT client and bridge – Connects the BMW ConnectedDrive data stream to a lo…

I tested it, it’s awesome and works well! Any best practices, how we can use the MQTT Data from the car in openHAB? Or just use the generic MQTT Thing and add channels for everything?
