[SUGGESTION] WiCAN Pro (open-source OBD dongle) integration support via USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi?

[Hedda]

Spotten in the readme for aa-proxy-rs that you are can connect wirelessly to some kind of Bluetooth OBD2 dongle (CAN-bus adapter), however I would like to suggest you specifically consider looking into "WiCAN Pro" (open-source OBD dongle) integration support via USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi.

WiCAN Pro is an OBD-II adapter that is a open-source hardware and open-source firmware project from meatPi (who is a single developer with the help of a small community of other volenteering developers and users). It is based on Espressif 's ESP32 and feature USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi.

  “WiCAN Pro - Advanced OBD scanner for next-generation vehicle diagnostics and Home Assistant integration. Built on the robust ESP32-S3 platform, WiCAN Pro runs the powerful, open-source WiCAN firmware. The inclusion of a USB-C connector for firmware flashing and a microSD card slot for data logging further enhances its functionality.”

FYI, the developer also has an ongoing crowdfunding campaign for "ESPNetLink LTE" which is a 4G + GPS module for WiCAN Pro:

  “ESPNetLink, the LTE connectivity upgrade for your WiCAN Pro. With ESPNetLink, you can access your vehicle data securely and privately, directly from Home Assistant, without relying on third-party cloud services.”

WiCAN as an open-source OBDII product and project is growing a niche following amoung Home Assistant users and now has an "official" ingeration for:

@manio Ah, nice! Do you also also plan to port your canze-rs project to it as well?

PS: Personally I am mostly interested in the Home Assistant integration for WiCAN:

It is ported and working (in branch) but still not cleaned up...
But yes, I plan to do it as well.
