Improvement suggestion (Separate entities instead of attributes)

[ra-kal]

Thanks for this integration! I've successfully installed and logged in using 1.70 version.

After installation I first thought that the integration shows only some basic info. But fortunately I looked into the developer tools and noticed that the entities has multiple attributes with detailed info. For example the door status. I can of course use the info from the attributes, but it is not strightforward - values are not localised, binary values are not "binary" - and without history. Therefore I will create template sensors to extract the info from the attributes.

I'm also using Skoda Connect integration for my another car and it provides separate entities for every status. It would be perfect this integration would do the same.

Agreed!

If you haven't discovered it yet, there's a integration on HACS called "auto-entities" that is excellent for this. It's pretty customizable, and I have it set up on a couple of entities to grab all of the attributes, but exclude junk ones I don't need (like "friendly name"). I combine it with another integration called "fold-entity-row" that tucks all of the "attribute" entities under the "main" one, and you can click/tap an arrow to expand and see them. I found both when I first started using the FordPass integration, because I started getting too annoyed/lazy to separately template each attribute I wanted, and then stumbled on forum posts discussing both of these, and more posts that helped me figure out how to tweak them. I can post examples if anyone's interested in trying it, and gets stuck.
