Proposed change

Adds 8 diagnostic sensors backed by the new `Capabilities.rtk` from `deebot-client` (currently only the GOAT A1600 RTK):

  • `rtk_rover_satellites_visible` / `rtk_base_satellites_visible`
  • `rtk_rover_satellites_used` / `rtk_base_satellites_used`
  • `rtk_rover_signal_score` / `rtk_base_signal_score` (0-100)
  • `rtk_rover_occlusion_rate` / `rtk_base_occlusion_rate` (default disabled)

Same data the official Ecovacs Home app shows under Settings > RTK.

Library counterpart: DeebotUniverse/client.py#1587. Manifest stays at `deebot-client==18.3.0` here; bump will be a one-line follow-up commit on this branch when 18.4.0 ships #1587. CI failures (pylint/mypy on the `RtkEvent` import) are expected until then.

Type of change

  • Dependency upgrade
  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New integration (thank you!)
  • New feature (which adds functionality to an existing integration)
  • Deprecation (breaking change to happen in the future)
  • Breaking change (fix/feature causing existing functionality to break)

Checklist

  • I understand the code I am submitting and can explain how it works.
  • The code change is tested and works locally.
  • Local tests pass. Your PR cannot be merged unless tests pass (no local HA Core venv on this machine; entity descriptions mirror the existing network sensors pattern; relying on CI once the deebot-client release is out)
  • There is no commented out code in this PR.
  • I have followed the development checklist
  • I have followed the perfect PR recommendations
  • The code has been formatted using Ruff (`ruff format homeassistant tests`)
  • Tests have been added to verify that the new code works. (Sensor entity tests will follow once the deebot-client release with RtkEvent is shipped and the manifest pin is bumped.)
  • Any generated code has been carefully reviewed for correctness and compliance with project standards.

If user exposed functionality or configuration variables are added/changed:

If the code communicates with devices, web services, or third-party tools:

  • The manifest file has all fields filled out correctly.
    Updated and included derived files by running: `python3 -m script.hassfest`.
  • New or updated dependencies have been added to `requirements_all.txt`.
    Updated by running `python3 -m script.gen_requirements_all`.
  • For the updated dependencies a diff between library versions and ideally a link to the changelog/release notes is added to the PR description.

To help with the load of incoming pull requests:

Surfaces 8 RTK sensors for any mower exposing the new
Capabilities.rtk in deebot-client (currently the GOAT A1600 RTK):
rover/reference satellites visible, satellites used in the RTK
solve, signal scores (0-100) and occlusion rates. Mirrors what the
official Ecovacs Home app already shows under Settings > RTK.

Occlusion-rate sensors default to disabled to keep the registry
quiet for users that only care about the headline counters.

Requires deebot-client release with the RtkEvent class
(DeebotUniverse/client.py PR home-assistant#1587). Manifest pin is left at
deebot-client==18.3.0; bump will follow once 18.4.0 is released.

Status update — this PR is blocked on DeebotUniverse/client.py#1587 (feat: parse getRTK for mower devices) which provides RtkEvent and Capabilities.rtk.

Once #1587 is merged + new release, I'll bump manifest.json here. #1587's CI is green and awaiting review.
