Substitute Charging Socket Flap for Gas Cap on EVs

[rbollar]

Short summary

The code shows “Gas Cap lock” on the locked status for EVs

Detailed description

If you’re able, it would be good to show the gas cap lock status as “Charging Socket Flap” on EVs

Here’s what it looks like on Mercedes app:

It appears the sensor is:

sensor.xxxxxx_charge_flap_dc_status

I will try to add this display in case of EV, currently this data is as attributes from sensor.lock. 👍

Hi @rbollar .. I'm trying to make this change, but I haven't come up with a solution yet. Since now the subfields for lock status are taken as attributes from sensor.***_lock and specifically for this case the gas/charge is attribute 'doorlockstatusgas'. If both for ev and fuel car have the same attribute, so I have no idea how to logically confuse these names. 🤔

Can I ask you to screen what attributes you have in the sensor lock? And what are the states for sensor.xxxxxx_charge_flap_dc_status?

Here is the lock status like you shared, followed by the charge flap status. Personally, I'd be fine with just having the charge door flap status -- it's either open or closed.

@rbollar Hi, I added this sensor as a new entry for Doors status. As it has a similar state to the rest of the group, I just want to confirm that sensor._charge_flap_dc_status shows the state [ 0 1 2 3 ]. I hope I have understood correctly from Rene component's code what this sensor shows.
