v0.5.1

Fixed

• Static cache capability retry — when the capabilities API call fails on initial boot (transient error), the coordinator no longer permanently caches None; subsequent poll cycles retry the fetch until capabilities are successfully loaded, preventing ~50 capability-gated entities (doors, windows, trunk, tyres, charge lids, hood, door locks) from being silently filtered out
• Card entity map rebuild — _buildDeviceEntityMap in both custom cards now tracks entity count and rebuilds the map when the HA entity registry grows, fixing partial entity maps when hass.entities loads progressively

Changed

• Diagnostics output — added capabilities.available and capabilities.flag_count to the diagnostics config entry dump for easier remote debugging

v0.5.0 - Capability-Based Entity Filtering

Capability-Based Entity Filtering (v0.5.0)

Intelligent entity filtering based on vehicle hardware capabilities, trim level, and equipment detection. Vehicles only show entities for features they actually have - no more phantom sensors for sunroofs on cars without sunroofs.

Highlights

• Capability filtering across all 9 entity platforms (sensor, binary_sensor, lock, climate, switch, button, select, number, time)
• Sentinel value 101 detection - hardware position fields returning "not equipped" are excluded
• Vehicle model/edition detection - Smart #1/#3/#5 and Pure/Pro/Pulse/Premium/BRABUS/Launch from matCode
• Edition-based filtering - PM2.5 sensors (Pure/Pro) and seat heating (Pure) excluded by trim
• Static data caching - 3 fewer API calls per poll cycle per vehicle
• Frontend race condition fixed - custom cards registered as Lovelace resources instead of deferred scripts
• Safe-by-default - unknown capabilities default to disabled

Entity Impact

• 2 new diagnostic sensors (vehicle model, vehicle edition)
• Sunroof/curtain entities excluded on non-equipped vehicles
• Fully-equipped vehicles: zero regression

v0.4.4 - Fix charging states, charge lid, and fluid sensors

Fixed

• Charge lid polarity inverted — charge lid AC/DC sensors always showed "closed"; APK controlChargeLib() confirms "1" = open, not "0"
• Charger connected too restrictive — only accepted statusOfChargerConnection == "1"; APK getChargingPlugged() shows values 1, 2, and 3 all mean plugged in
• Charger state enum completely wrong — used guessed sequential ranges; APK TspEdgeRepository.ChargerState has specific values: 0=not charging, 2=AC, 15=DC, 24=super, 25=plugged not charging, 28=boost, 30=wireless
• Washer fluid exposed as meaningless raw integer — washerFluidLevelStatus is a status code (0=normal, 1=low, 2=too low, 7=unknown) matching the tyre warning convention; changed from sensor to binary_sensor with PROBLEM device class
• Brake fluid always showing problem — _safe_bool("3") returned False since only "1"/"true" = True; API returns "3" (= OK); switched to integer status interpretation

Breaking Changes

• Entity sensor._washer_fluid_level replaced by binary_sensor._washer_fluid_low — update any automations referencing the old entity
• ChargingState enum values changed — old states (charge_preparation, charge_paused, fully_charged) replaced with correct APK values (super_charging, plugged_not_charging, boost_charging, wireless_charging)

v0.4.2 — Icon Fix & README Updates

Fixed

• Integration icon now displays correctly in Home Assistant (brand assets copied to integration root)
