Tests: 
iobroker Adapter for BYD cars based on https://github.com/Niek/BYD-re
The adapter reads vehicle status from the BYD Realtime API. Not all state fields work reliably across all vehicle models.
| Field | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
chargeState |
0 | Not connected |
chargeState |
1 | Charging |
chargeState |
15 | Gun connected (plugged in, not charging) |
The following fields from the Realtime API return -1 (Unknown) on some vehicle models and should not be relied upon:
| Field | Issue |
|---|---|
chargingState |
Always returns -1 on some models |
connectState |
Always returns -1 on some models |
Note: Home Assistant's BYD integration uses chargingState for charging detection, which does not work for all vehicles. This adapter uses chargeState instead, which appears to be more reliable.
Based on chargeState, the adapter provides:
- isCharging:
chargeState === 1 - isPluggedIn:
chargeState === 1 || chargeState === 15
