Home Assistant supports BMW
So Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) now also supports Connected Drive, specific docs can be found here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integr...nnected_drive/
I've set it up to create some automations (do X when the car gets connected to power, do Y when car enters a zone,...) Anyone already played with this? Any good suggestions on usage? |

I am using home assistant to show the status of charging, range and fuel level of my x45e (basically to let me know if I can make it to the store without filling up or charging up first). It is also giving me alerts through Apple's Home app when the door is locked and unlocked.

My current implementation.
HA is running on a wall-mounted tablet in the kitchen. Most important is the button to preheat the car, as my wife is too lazy to charge her BMW displaykey... As you can see, i have no frontend UI skills |

How do you configure Home Assistant for 'BMW Connected Drive"?
I tried to add it as new integration to HomeAssistant 2023.2.1 and I used as the user name and password as used for myBMW app, but it returns a fail to connect error message As region I selected 'north_america'. Do I need to enable this 3rd party remote access somewhere? |

I think I ran into that same issue when they switched it from configuring in the config files to the UI component. FWIW, I think it eventually worked. Right now my integration is showing 'unknown' so it's possible there's an issue on BMW's side.

Ah! At least it's an easy fix. I know there was something odd when they first changed the config method, but I can't remember what it was. It's working now though, so hopefully I never have to go back and futz with it again.
