Description

This homebridge plugin exposes two Fan accessories (climatisation on/off and windowheating on/off), a Lock (lock/unlock car) and a Switch (Charging/Not charging) to Apple's HomeKit. It is advised to split the accessory into separate tiles (standard HomeKit functionality) and use a room with the name of the car for the split accessories. Thanks to Trocotronic (https://github.com/trocotronic) for the WeConnect Python API.
