MMM-BMWConnected (BMW Connected Drive data)

[Klassieker]

@sdetweil Hi Sam, Thanks for your answer. I can’t get it to run on the pi (not enough knowledge of the pi, i’m learning),
but I managed running it on my Windows PC and got some data from the script.
So I think there is a problem in the module.

@klassieker
I have made some changes in the module and now it is working for me (changed defaults: apiBase, couldn’t get it to work with config: apiBase)
Also put an extra variable in the defaults: for selecting my cars

what happened there? we should figure that out as its part of the base MM design

@sdetweil
the module didn’t react on config: apiBase. after changing the url in the default, I could go further.
Furthermore, I added a car: element in the config and copied the module, so I could see both my cars.

@sdetweil
Adding the row:
apiBase: “https://www.bmw-connecteddrive.com”,

@klassieker >apiBase: “https://www.bmw-connecteddrive.com”,

it doesn’t want the “https://” in the front, it adds that internally

apiBase	The location of the base API URL for your region.

Default: www.bmw-connecteddrive.co.uk

@sdetweil
Ah, I overread that part of https://.
I changed it back and it is still working .
Many thanks for helping me.

I still have the problem with “Loading”, and nothing happened. My module looks like the print screen. What is my fault?

Thanks a lot !

@wwats Hi mate, did you manage to make this module work? I am kind of the opinion that it could be linked to the fact that BMW changed the login landing page. Before it was www.bmw-connecteddrive.uk or .ch or .com etc.
Now I guess this has changed to a more unifying page which if you click login you get a popup. I don’t know but I can think this could be part of the issue. Same time I struggle with it as it apparently works for others. It would be nice if, who ever has the module running right now, could share his setup or what he changed to make it happen. Many thanks! Pat

Edit: By the way, tried to reach out to the creator of this module via insta and twitter. No chance. He never came back.
