In this article, we will show how to get information about the BMW i3 into a tablet using OpenHAB or Home Assistant.

It is also possible to send supported commands via the API, such as opening, closing, starting the air conditioning/heater, etc., and, most importantly, to integrate these actions with a smart home system.
