[mm98]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My car returns the light status for left and right. This information also exist in the JSON (from debug logs)

"vehicleLights": {
    "lightsStatus": {
        "value": {
            "carCapturedTimestamp": "datetime.datetime",
            "lights": [
                {
                    "name": "right",
                    "status": "off"
                },
                {
                    "name": "left",
                    "status": "off"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Describe the solution you'd like Would it be possible to include these two values as sensors in this integration?

thanks @mm98 . Great suggestion! I'm guessing these are in reference to the interior lights? Have you tested by chance? If not I can give it a go.

Your guess is as good as mine 😄 left and right doesn't really make any sense in regard to external light (front or back). I haven't tested myself yet, since I just noticed these in the myAudi app. All the checkmarks in the screenshot above is all for external "things", so i would guess - it is front left and right (bulb maybe)? I don't have any light inside for left and/or right.

I just tested by turning on the ignition. Turned light off and use fog light. Nothing changed with the light status in the myAudi app.

My interior lights are static. Not something I can affect or change in any way.

Audi's response is actually wrong. My front left window wasn't open, but only the front left door. If I can do anything else to help debug, please let me know! I'll gladly help, if I can.

Could left right lights be euro park lights? Where you park the car with your blinker enabled on one side. It then keeps that side on for the duration of parking.

This is typically disabled in NA.

A guess though.

I'll do some testing with park lights and get back to you with more info!

[mm98]

I can confirm it is parking lights. Car parked with turn indicator on for left.

Thanks for testing @mm98 ! I'm thinking the best method for this would be a single binary sensor for All Lights with attributes for each light. Let me know what you think.

[mm98]

Let me know what you think.

I agree. No reason to have them separate.
