MMM-BMWConnected (BMW Connected Drive data)

hdurdle

Description:

Day two of knowing Magic Mirror was a thing. I built something for my car. If you have a BMW with active BMW Connected Drive service, you can use this module to show:

lock status
charging/unplugged
battery charge
total miles driven
electric only range (miles)
fuel range (miles)
last time the Connected Drive portal received data from the car

It also downloads the image of the car itself from the BMW API, so I would be really interested to see someone else running it, to see if that works for anything other than the i8. If you do, send me pics at https://twitter.com/hdurdle

Hi, Greetings from South Africa, i have tried the module but it only shows as loading. I followed your instructions for powershell and i get some data for my car. Could you please point me in the right direction so that it works on MagicMirror? i used the …co.za apiBase and i get the vehicle data

@hdurdle This is cool, the picture is correct, but icons. (I live in Taiwan)
Could you help? what should I do to fix icon links? thank you very much.

I found an error in css "faIcon.classList.add(“fas”); – that’s why no icon show up.
and NaN Km – my car it’s not hybrid…

@hdurdle does BMW API has “Current location” feature? thanks.

@iMAGiC hi yes it does have longitude and latitude values. Download the powershell scripts and play around with them to see what values are available. I have changed mine to remove electric vehicle specific parameters and added things like fuel remaining, window/sunroof status and also the vehicle pictures that change after a set time.

@hdurdle: Hi Howard, pretty cool module!

Can it be tweaked to work for Mini vehicles as well? I do have access to a connected service for my car using: https://www.mini-connected.com/germany/de/

Thanks in advance!

@hdurdle Is this module still working on your side?
It has stopped work since last week.
Is it a token issue or BWM has already modified API?

Thank you~

@imagic , since yesterday I only got the information from the module, “Lade …”, so for english user “loading …”. Whats going wrong here?

iMAGiC

@musicnrw I don’t know, either. already sent message to @hdurdle.

@imagic Is this problem solved?
Just installed this module and also says “bezig met laden”
I can’t reach @hdurdle , don’t have facebook, twitter, instagram and other social media ;-)
Also don’t know how to use the shell scripts.

shell scripts are just commands (written in text form)

so u can execute a bunch of commands and use logic…

to execute one of those, you would open a terminal window
ctrl-alt-t on the pi desktop, or open an ssh session from your windows/mac box to the pi

(to minimize MM to get to the desktop, alt-spacebar, n just line on windows for minimze fullscreen app)

I don’t know about the module…

@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.

ok, don’t know what that means…

what did u try to do in the module config that didn’t work

Klassieker

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

sdetweil

@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 !
