MG/SAIC CUSTOM INTEGRATION

Important Notes:

• Using this integration causes the MG/SAIC mobile app to shut down, as per API requirements, since only one device can be connected at a time. Logging into the mobile app causes this integration to disconnect and fail to set up.
• This Integration has only been tested on a MG Marvel R model. Please provide feedback on sensors and information for other vehicles.

Version History

0.2.1
- Revised vehicle type identification mechanics and conditions - closes SOC not showing in HA #6
- Added new step to config_flow to allow users to select the correct vehicle type if the integration fails to do so based on API data - closes SOC not showing in HA #6
- Added configuration options to the integration to manually change the update intervals.
- Revised translations

0.2.0
- Revised mechanics for connection with API and data retrieval
- Services testing and adjusting to API requirements
- Renamed and revised sensor data and info
- Revise units for sensors and adapting all sensors to SensorDeviceClass from Home Assistant
- Revise Unique ID generation for all sensors
- Revise Login method to avoid blocking calls during startup
- Improve detection and discard of "Generic Responses" during API setup and updates
- Improve vehicle type detection on integration setup.

0.1.0
- Refactor code to work with data coordinator
- Revised mechanics for connection with API and data retrieval
- Update saic-python-client-ng requirements to version 0.2.3
- Added new sensors for charging data
- Renamed and revised sensor data and info
- Revise config_flow to allow login with phone and email
- Initial implementation of services (some services still not available, but are implemented as a proof of concept). _Feedback on this will be helpful_
- Change update interval to 5 minutes once charging is detected
- Refactor API responses and values as needed. Charging sensors only display data if Charging is Active, otherwise 0 will be displayed
- Fuel Level, Fuel Range, EV State of Charge and Electric Range are vehicle dependent. Add logic to determine the vehicle type and show sensors accordingly.

0.0.2
- Revised mechanics for connection with API
- Added new sensors (Brand, Model and MY)
- Rename sensors based on Brand and Model
- Rename sensors to have them grouped by type (windows, doors, tyres...)
- Revise config_flow (_login with phone still not working and unavailable_)
- Initial trialing for charging details 

0.0.1
- Initial release

TO-DO

• Implement initial services for Locks action, AC control and ancillary services.
• Implement charging detection and corresponding sensors.
• Check API details for energy usage and stats, adding additional sensors.
• Check implementation against other EV/PHEV models.
• Add possibility to display metric or imperial data, including tyres' pressure.
