Domoticz-BMW-plugin

Domoticz plugin working with BMW Connected Drive. A big changes is introduced since version 2.0.0 of the plugin. BMW discontinued the BMW Connected Drive App and related services. From plugin 2.0.0, the new services based on the MyBMW app are integrated.

Currently it supports the keep track of the following information:

• Mileage
• Doors, windows and car: open - closed
• Remaining mileage for fuel and electric
• Remote services: flash light, horn, activate airco/heating, lock/unlock car (in case you installed a previous version without all these remote services, delete first the device in Domoticz, it will be recreated with all features afterwards)
• In case of electric support:
  • Charging status
  • Remaining charging time
  • Battery level

If there are requests to integrate other information/functions, please leave a message.

Currently the plugin does not support BMW Connected Drive cars in China and USA.

Remark that using remote services heavily is blocked by BMW. They give a dedicated message back in that case (it will show up in the Domoticz log also). So fast executing remote service one after the other won't be successful.

Hint: you can use the remote services in combination with a script that looks to the Google Calendar... In this way it is possible to plan the start of the airco/heating.
