What's new in this release / Was ist neu in diesem Release

Added

• New diagnostic sensor: what triggered the last EU Data Act delivery (#636). On EU Data Act cars there's now a "report trigger" sensor that tells you what kicked off the most recent data report — e.g. a remote request you made, or the car reporting on its own. It ships disabled by default (it's diagnostic detail most people won't need), so turn it on if you're curious. Thanks for the field spot.
• New diagnostic sensor: which climate mode your car is set to (#671). Audi and other CARIAD EU cars report a climatisationMode setting — "comfort" in the wild — that we already used when sending a climate command but never read back. There's now a "climate mode" sensor showing the current value. Like the trigger sensor above, it's disabled by default and only shows up on cars that actually send the field. Thanks @tsvyatkov for the Scout report.

Fixed

• VW: your car stays alive when the EU Data Act portal has a bad moment. If you've got a VW EU car set up with the volkswagen.de website channel as a backup on top of the EU Data Act portal, and the portal times out for a poll, we now fall back to the website data for that cycle instead of freezing the entity on its last-known values. Before, a portal hiccup would quietly leave you looking at stale numbers even though volkswagen.de had fresh ones sitting right there. Single-source setups are completely unchanged. And if the website session itself has actually expired, you get a proper re-login prompt rather than silent staleness.

• Škoda: warning lights no longer read "Problem" on a perfectly healthy car (#649). Škoda's health endpoint always sends one entry per monitored category (engine, brakes, tyres, oil…) even when nothing's wrong — a healthy category just comes back with an empty defect list. We were treating "the list has entries" as "something's wrong", so on every Škoda all the warning sensors flipped to Problem while the MySkoda app calmly showed "All good". Now a category only counts as a warning when it actually carries a defect, so an all-clear car reads all-clear. Thanks @divanguz-alt for the report and the spot-on root-cause.

Thanks 🙏

This release came straight from your field reports. Special thanks to @divanguz-alt (Škoda warning root-cause, #649), @chrischtili (the trigger_type field, #636) and @tsvyatkov (the climatisationMode field, #671). And to everyone who filed a Vehicle Data Scout report or bug this cycle — @bachjessen @BalooDK @datenhamster @Drachendiadem @fesch89 @fugazzy @gr6803 @heikone @IanNorthern @janez78 @joostbouten @kaufmannralf @KratosLionXD @Lagaff86 @littlecake @LouisFk @MaFi1504 @Manuel-Hanak @MaTi8383 @MichaelNeys @moltke69 @NevelSavage @Ola-Skallberg @PollenNor @Raymondgijzen @roeleert @Sacha72 @sebastianedse @sotiropoulos123 @Svenruotsi @tolnaiz @torstentosh @wfa001 — even the reports that turn out already-covered help confirm the field mapping is holding up. The full roster of everyone who's ever reported here is in CONTRIBUTORS.md.
