Here goes... I've long felt I should be contributing to the community, and it's finally time to dip my toes in the water. Hope I don't regret it. Not sure anyone other than me wants this, but...

Feedback welcome! This is my first Hubitat integration. Let me know if you run into any issues or have feature requests. My car is currently in the shop, so I did limited testing (and couldn't work on vehicle commands yet).
