Mercedes stopped their support of BYOCAR API
Official Binding from openHAB distribution doesn’t work anymore.
This binding provides now a solution based on Smartphone SDK
This is a breaking change and you need a new setup of your vehicles. See below readme for further instructions.

The binding provides access to your Mercedes vehicles.

  • Conventional Fuel Vehicle
  • Plugin-Hybrid Electrical Vehicle
  • Battery Electric Vehicle

Recommend read ist the readme for setup and provided channels. Especially setting up your account bridge is the most difficult part.

  • different data provided

Check new readme to set up everything correctly.

Hi,
I got the binding to work after following the very well detailed readme. All worked fine until a reboot of my rpi. Since then, both things (the mercedes me account & the car) have the status UNINITIALIZED. I don’t see any errors in the log, and what is strange, is that I can’t change a thing in the settings of the mercedes me binding. I can only delete the things, all other settings have dissappeared. It didn’t change after another reboot.
Any ideas what went wrong or what to do? (Openhab 3.2.0)

Hi @knud,

I don’t know which version you installed but during the first version 0.1 and the current v1.0 release candidate several changes were made which are not 100% compatible. That’s somehow not avoidable because I got some valuable input from the Community and also from the maintainer reviews.

I suggest the following:

  • Delete your things and items
    • if you’ve files rename .things file to something like .things-orig
    • in UI go to MercedesMe things to Channels and Unlink all and Remove Items. Then delete all things. Note: Removing items doesn’t delete history data!
  • In Marketplace uninstall MeredesMe binding. Give it a minute for proper deinstallation
  • Install it again from Marketplace to have the latest version
  • rename your .things-orig file back to .things or create them in UI with the same labels and your history won’t be lost

Maybe you need to authorize once again calling the http://YOUR_IP:YOUR_PORT/mb-callback URL but after you’ve performed the painful first setup :wink: this is one click now.

thanks, I’ll give it a go.

Is there a reason to maintain this binding as published in the marketplace, with a risk of confusion for the users, while the binding is now part of the official distribution?

@weymann : can you please answer?

Sometimes it’s nice to have such a space to test changes like v1.1 which required changes to handling API.
But ok for me to close it to avoid confusion.

Do I have to perform some actions to remove this from Marketplace?

Just remove the tag “published”.
