Telebimmer

Telebimmer: Your Car in Telegram

Telebimmer is a personal bot that watches your car 24/7 and messages you first when something matters. It's not a plugin, an OBD dongle, or hardware—it's a software service (SaaS) that reads your car's own data from BMW's official ConnectedDrive / CarData API with your consent.

Why Choose Telebimmer Over the Manufacturer App?

While the manufacturer's app provides status updates when you manually log in, Telebimmer proactively reports on itself. It offers features that standard apps often lack:

• Fault Codes in Plain Language: Instead of cryptic codes like 2C5A, it tells you exactly what happened and how serious it is in your language (40+ languages supported).
• Smart Fuel Forecasts: Based on real consumption from your trips, it predicts when you'll run out of fuel based on your specific driving habits.
• Anomaly Detection: It notices things a person might spot too late, such as fuel siphoned while parked or movement without a trip (towing/theft).
• Weather Alerts: Receive advance warnings for frost, hail, and dangerous wind at the car's location.
• AI Agent Integration: Optional support to connect your own AI assistant via a read-only token and skill file.
• Honest Data Freshness: Shows the age of each data point instead of passing off old data as current.

What Telebimmer answers for you:

• Status: Fuel, range, mileage, battery, coolant, time to service, faults, lock status.
• Security: Lock, alarm, ignition, motion, lights, sleep mode.
• Doors & Climate: Doors, windows, sunroof, trunk; climate, heating, pre-conditioning, and timers.
• Tires: Pressure and temperature for each wheel.
• Service: Service intervals with dates and onboard warnings.
• Analytics & History: Trip stats, mileage, average consumption, and weekly/monthly auto-reports.
• Export: Export your entire history to CSV.
• Family Access: Share access with a spouse or family member using a one-time invite code.

How it works in three steps:

1. Create your own Telegram bot.
2. Enable car-data access in your BMW account.
3. Send the Client ID to Telebimmer.
4. Turn on switches one at a time (CarData API first, then CarData Streaming).

Privacy and Security: Telepimmer is read-only—it cannot control your car. It uses encrypted tokens and telemetry stored in Switzerland (Oracle Cloud Zurich) under GDPR and nFADP compliance. Your data is never sold or shared.
