Save more properties of the devices about homeassistant-homeconnect HOT 8 CLOSED

I think that's a good idea. But if we add a sensor it also needs to have a "value" (besides the attributes) and a name. What would you suggest for that? Maybe just 'on' or 'off' (i.e. a binary sensor)?

It depends on the property.
The "remote control allowed state" would be a binary sensor, the currently selected program a sensor (or maybe even an input select).
Let's save the properties as attributes first, create template sensors/switches ourselves, and check what sensors/switches would be useful to include in the custom component.

Right, what I meant was where to save the attributes in the first step (where there are no dedicated sensors/switches yet).

I think it's the most clear to create one sensor per device (that will be extra compared to the current situation).

If you want to give this a shot, I'd be happy about a PR 👍

We could at it also to the power switch (there is already one per device right?)
I will work on it, but have to get used to Python etc, so not sure how long it will take.

Yes, adding it to the power switch is a good idea!

This is implemented now. I decided to shorten the long attribute names like BSH.Common.EnumType.DoorState.Closed to simply closed. Example:
