How to Prevent Account Blocking

To reduce the risk of your account being blocked, please follow these recommendations:

1. Create a separate MB user account for use with this component.
2. Invite the new user to the vehicle:
   The primary user of the vehicle can invite the new HA-MB account to access the vehicle. Up to six additional users can be invited to each vehicle.
3. Use each account in a single environment only:
   Use one account exclusively in HA or in the official MB tools, but never in both simultaneously.

Important Notes

• Certain features, such as geofencing data, are available only to the primary user.
• If geofencing is required in your HA environment, use the primary user account in HA and the secondary accounts in the official MB apps.

Optional configuration values

See Options dialog in the Integration under Home-Assistant/Configuration/Integration.

Excluded Cars: comma-separated list of VINs.
PIN: Security PIN to execute special services. Please use your MB mobile app to setup
Disable Capability Check: By default the component checks the capabilities of a car. Active this option to disable the capability check. (For North America)
Debug Save Messages: Enable this option to save all relevant received message into the messages folder of the component
