Improvement suggestion (Separate entities instead of attributes) #538

Thanks for this integration! I've successfully installed and logged in using 1.70 version.

After installation I first thought that the integration shows only some basic info. But fortunately I looked into the developer tools and noticed that the entities has multiple attributes with detailed info. For example the door status. I can of course use the info from the attributes, but it is not strightforward - values are not localised, binary values are not "binary" - and without history. Therefore I will create template sensors to extract the info from the attributes.

I'm also using Skoda Connect integration for my another car and it provides separate entities for every status. It would be perfect this integration would do the same.
