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

Fixed

• The Škoda auxiliary-heating (Standheizung) switch is back on cars that actually have one. v3.2.0 added a heuristic that hid the switch whenever a Škoda reported no aux-heating telemetry — but a car whose air-conditioning is temporarily in an INVALID / not-fully-authorised state reports exactly the same "nothing" as a car with no heater, so the switch also vanished on aux-equipped Octavias. Checked against the MySkoda app (8.15.0): aux heating is a real per-car capability (AUXILIARY_HEATING), so the switch is now gated on that when the car advertises its capabilities, and simply shown otherwise — the project never hides a control on an unknown, exactly like every other switch. The v3.2.0 "phantom heater" report turned out to be the same transient INVALID state, not a car without a heater: the diesel Octavia and a gasoline Octavia produced byte-identical telemetry. Reported by Marco Schmidt, and originally by Wehrfried, both via the Home Assistant Tipps und Tricks Facebook group.
• The whole Škoda capability table is now the app's real capability names, not guesses. The ids that decide whether to show a Škoda control (lock, climate, charging, window-heating, ventilation, aux-heating, departure timers, …) were educated guesses (air-conditioning, charging, honk-and-flash, departure-timers) that never match what the MySkoda backend actually sends — verified verbatim against the 8.15.0 app's capability list. Harmless while a car's capability list is empty, but each one would have wrongly hidden its control the moment the list populated. Every id is now a real one, and features with genuine platform variants (charging = classic vs MEB, lock with vs without an S-PIN) accept either variant so a control is never hidden by guessing the wrong one. A guard test pins the whole table to the real 156-entry vocabulary so a future guess can't slip back in.
• Škoda push really arms now — the account user-id comes from the right place (#602). v3.2.0 tried to read the user-id out of the login token; on a classic MySkoda login that field is empty, so the push channel still never armed (Marco's diagnostics showed it dead, push_states empty). The MySkoda app reads the id from GET /api/v1/users, so the integration now does the same during the normal vehicle fetch — the id is set before the push channel starts. Reported by Marco Schmidt via the Home Assistant Tipps und Tricks Facebook group.
