Live F1 Data Directly in Home Assistant

🚀 This is the biggest update so far

F1 Sensor now brings live data straight from Formula 1’s Live Timing API into your smart home.

Want your lights to turn red when a red flag is thrown? Or get instant notifications when the Safety Car is deployed? Now it’s possible. 🏎️💡

✨ What’s New

🔴 Live session sensors

Three brand new live entities are introduced, updating in real-time:

• sensor.f1_session_status
  Shows the current phase of a session. Possible states:
  pre, live, suspended, finished, finalised, ended

• sensor.f1_track_status
  Mirrors the official TrackStatus feed. Possible states:
  CLEAR, YELLOW, VSC, SC, RED

• binary_sensor.f1_safety_car
  A simple boolean sensor that is on whenever VSC or SC is active.

⚙️ New configuration options

• Enable live F1 API – toggle creation of the new live sensors.
• Live update delay (seconds) – add a configurable delay to sync with your broadcast or stream.
  (Useful since live TV and streaming have built-in delays ranging from 5 to 60 seconds.)

🔮 What’s Next

This lays the foundation for even richer live race data in your automations. Expect more to come as the integration evolves!
