mabye there is a problem with the file permission?
try tu run the mb-connect.py with the same user as openhab in the putty terminal and check the result.
Yes this works without problems…
Since my script works for you, the problem seems to be more with the configuration of the Exec binding.
If you still have the error message with the whitlist,
you should look for the error at this point.
Maybe read again the description of exec binding, which I have already listed.
Edit the whitelist-file:
nano /etc/openhab/misc/exec.whitelist
Add this line:
python /etc/openhab/scripts/mb-connect/mb-connect.py --data
Restart OH
This should solve the error (except you put the script somewhere else or reference python directly.
No i give it up The automatic execution does not work on my system. I have now tried for several days to have the script run automatically. Manually it works without problems just so it is of no use to me. Thanks for the answers…
Hi Chris,
absolutely great to hear that you managed connecting to your MB. Here is another idea what to do with it:
display your daily CO2 footprint fully automated. it just needs to know the fuel level in your tank and the mileage. As my Mercedes is a bit too old for online connection, I had to use a OBD II and an ESP - not needed with your solution. Hope some others will pick up your and my idea and get a good feeling of their personal CO2 footprint

Hey @Skynet86 ,
Have you ever checked your linux file permissions?
Maybe that’s where it comes from. Make sure that the mb-connect.py file is executable by the user running openhab.
Hi @spawny0815 ,
first thanks for all the good work.
I followed your instructions. However, when trying to run the script
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
I get the error
Invalid requirement: '<!DOCTYPE html>'

Any help?
Thanks, Thomas
make sure you execute the script in the folder where the file is.
- Example: cd /etc/openhab/scripts/mb-connect/ && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Thanks for the quick help. This is what I did 
openhabian@openhabian:~ $ cd /etc/openhab/scripts/mb-connect/ && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Invalid requirement: '<!DOCTYPE html>'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/python-wheels/packaging-19.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl/packaging/requirements.py", line 93, in __init__
req = REQUIREMENT.parseString(requirement_string)
...
are you sure you copied the files to that location? Also, can you try to get to the folder one step after the other just to make sure you are really in the folder… that is what i did.
cd etc
cd openhab
cd scripts
cd mb-connect
once you are in the folder mb-connect, run the command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
EDIT:
i am on openhab docker so my files are placed differently: looks like this. with ls i checked if the file requirements.txt is really there before performing the pip3 install:
…which I did several times:
openhabian@openhabian:~ $ cd /etc/openhab/scripts/mb-connect
openhabian@openhabian:/etc/openhab/scripts/mb-connect $ ls
mb-connect.py requirements.txt
openhabian@openhabian:/etc/openhab/scripts/mb-connect $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Invalid requirement: '<!DOCTYPE html>'

Thanks for your help, will look further into this issue the next days.
Should this be working for a Smart EQ? I am getting a “Response Error” after the “Mercedes Benz API connection successfully established!” message.
Look at the mercedes benz developer site, if it’s in the list of compatible vehicles it should work 
Regards Mads

Thanks Mads, I checked the developer site, the smart EQ is not on the list 
So I emailed the support and that what they said:
Thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, we do not support smart EQs and currently, it is not planned to extend the services to smart EQs. I am sorry we could not help further.
That’s unfortunate for me but hopefully helpful for others to know that Smart EQs are not supported although they work with the Mercedes me account.

Hi I have been trying for a few days to get this working but have errors.
I am using openHABian 2.5.5 (buster), Python 3.7.3
When I try to install requirements.txt I get the error that python_openhab==2.14.1 could not be found.
When I check the python website it shows that the 2.14.1 version is binary only
piwheels - python-openhab
When I install from the GitHub tutorial GitHub - sim0nx/python-openhab: python library for accessing the openHAB REST API
pip install python-openhab
It installs 2.10.2 but not the binary 2.14.1 version.
python-dateutil-2.8.1
python-openhab-2.10.2
requests-2.25.1
The error when I run the script mb-connect.py is
python3 /etc/openhab2/scripts/mb-connect/mb-connect.py --dataTraceback (most recent call last):
File “/etc/openhab2/scripts/mb-connect/mb-connect.py”, line 11, in
from openhab import OpenHAB # GitHub - sim0nx/python-openhab: python library for accessing the openHAB REST API
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘openhab’
How can I install python-openhab-2.14.1?
Thanks
With a fresh set of eyes I updated the python packages and it installed 2.14.1.
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
