Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. User wants to automate something car-related, where automation will be triggered by opening and closing car doors. Currently, door status is polled from Tesla servers, instead of using Streaming API/Teslamate+MQTT.

Describe the solution you'd like sensor.doors entity updated from Teslamate MQTT.

Describe alternatives you've considered Current workaround is using MQTT triggers, but automation gets triggered every dozen of seconds as Teslamate periodically re-sends "doors closed" MQTT message.

trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: teslamate/cars/1/doors_open
    payload: "false"
    id: closed
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: teslamate/cars/1/doors_open
    payload: "true"
    id: open

Additional context Task is simmilar to #698 , just another entity needs to be synced.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the implementation of #698 to understand the pattern for syncing entities from Teslamate MQTT, then replicate it for the doors entity, adding MQTT subscription and updating the sensor.doors state accordingly.
