Mercedes Me Binding, No Update for Milage

1

Hello,
I am using Openhab Relase 5.1.4 and the Mercedes Me Binding from the market place. Installation on a QNAP NAS in a Container.
Problem: The Item Milage does not update. Only if I stop the container and restart again. Other items like batterie level, distance from homet,.. are working perfect.

Any idea what the cause for the problem is?

Regards

mileage/odometer on the mb side often only moves when a trip ends, not on the same poll as battery / range. so it looking “stuck” while other channels update is pretty common.

things to check:

  • which channel you linked (odometer vs trip vs some computed item)
  • binding debug/trace for that vehicle around a real drive then park, see if a mileage payload even arrives
  • marketplace binding version vs 5.1.4, some builds only force a full vehicle status on init (that matches “updates after container restart”)

if debug shows no mileage until restart, it is on the binding/api side not your item config. posting a short debug slice from one drive cycle helps.

Hello,

thanks for the hints. Last trip worked already perfect, issue is only with milage. I did now the following:

  1. Adding a script which tries to force an update of the milage every hour.

  2. Start the car and stop it after 2 minutes.

And now: I got the update. But it didn’t work without the script which will be triggered by a cron job every hour.
Thanks.
