2.2b6

New features

Fixes

• fixed compatibility with the HA 2024.3 onwards

Misc

• many code cleanups
• minor code tweaks

2.2b5

New features

• attributes' sensors expanded to cover all the platforms, not only sensor
• virtual / attribute sensors are now created also for ROG21 energy measurement attribute & active power attribute
• create battery sensors only for one channel (channel 1) of a multiple-channel device

Fixes

• Updated get_mac_address to correctly handle host name by DNS entry by @gadulowaty

Misc

• code cleanup, pylint issues fixed
• minor code tweaks

2.2b4

Fixes

• fix power factor sensor value scaling
• remove power factor sensor measurement unit

2.2b3

New features

• raise scene notifications from controller as HA event extalife_scene

2.2b2

New features

• add possibility to add fake channels in pyextalife API for simulation of sensors one doesn't own (fake_channels.py)

Fixes

• fix "value_1" error
• fix error related to unique id generation
• fix invalid values for virtual, attribute-based sensors and their parent device sensor
• fix obsolete Device Registry call
• enhance virtual sensor names (remove double blanks)

Known issues

• RCM-21 will generate 3 battery sensors as technically it reports battery state in all 3 channels. This will also happen for other, devices which send multiple channels. This issue will not be addressed. Redundant entities may be switched off in Home Assistant entity settings.

2.2b1

Fixes

• fixed error when changing RGB values for lights (SLR-22)
• fixed virtual sensor attributes sensor code to fetch data from the correct nested path

Known issues
None so far

2.2b0

New features

• New, separate sensor entities are created for sensor attributes. Currently supported attributes: battery_state, and all measurable values of MEM-21 per phase

Breaking changes

• extra state attributes reduced to minimum for the sensor entity to b compatible with HA dev guidelines

Fixes

• fixes for ROB-21 by @SebiCo
• align entity state attributes with HA 2021.12 and newer to get rid of warnings in logs
• fixed incompatibility warning "Detected code that uses deprecated async_get_registry to access entity registry, use async_get instead."
• fixed incompatibility warning "<class 'custom_components.extalife.sensor.ExtaLifeSensor'>) implements device_state_attributes...."
• fixed incompatibility errors for the light entity
• various smaller fixes
• code reformatted to match HA coding styling

Known issues
None so far

2.1.3a0

New features

• new service extalife.disconnect is now available to disconnect from controller on-demand e.g. for controller maintenance works without shutting down Home Assistant instance
• new service extalife.connect is now available to (re) connect to controller after on-demand disconnection or disconnection caused by other factors e.g. controller wasn't available and the integration didn't yet connect to it

Breaking changes
None

Fixes

• fixes for ROB-21 by @SebiCo
• align entity state attributes with HA 2021.12 and newer to get rid of warnings in logs
• various fixes
• code reformatted to match HA coding styling

Known issues

• errors in logs when receiving state notification from the controller (doesn't break connection and preserves control over HA entities)
• errors in logs when controlling an entity (doesn't break connection and preserves control over HA entities)

2.1.2

FIxes

• add component version in the manifest file to prevent warnings in logs for HA 2020.3 onwards (compatibility)

2.1.1

Fixes

• fix major reconnection issue, which caused HA and EFC-01 overloading (100% CPU core usage for HA python3 process) and causing potential EFC-01 freeze / hang. The issue occured when the integration lost connection to EFC-01 e.g. EFC-01 was reset
• fix syntax error in notification code handling (thanks @asystentka-jolka )
• fix state attributes' values for the sensor platform
