Volkswagen Carnet Component for home assistant

In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

Entity	Shows up as	Note
`switch`	Switch or outlet
`climate`	Thermostat
`lock`	Lock	Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…)
`sensor`	Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…)
`select`	Mode picker (as switches)
`device_tracker`	Presence (as an occupancy sensor)

What people report

Cloud-based VW Connect integration; ID series cars are supported, and past logins broke when VW changed terms or login flows. North America support is only an open PR.
