Bug/Feature: Show plug icon dependent on state #16

Closed jonasf21 closed 8 months ago

jonasf21 commented 1 year ago

The entity smartevse_car_connected has the default "eye" symbol within HA. Imho it rather should have the mdi:power-plug symbol and should be based on the BinarySensorDeviceClass.PLUG. This way it would be possible to show the correct icon (plugged or unplugged) depending on actual state.

You are absolutely right; but doing this would mean to introduce a whole new device class in the integration (we now only have sensors, selects and numbers), binary sensors are not known to the plugin.

This would mean a lot of extra code; to do that just for one icon seems not worth it to me...
