v1.0.0

⚠️ Contains breaking changes! So please read this carefully!

This is a BIG release, and that why I marked this release v1.0.0!

The Home Assistant connector node has been replaced by node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket and uses WebSockets to connect to Home Assistant, which is actually the preferred method to use when talking to Home Assistant. It improves reaction speed and is build on top of the official Home Assistant WebSocket libraries.

The add-on now handles Home Assistant restarts automatically. You no longer need custom flows or restart magic to fix Node-RED after Home Assistant restarts 🎉.

Furthermore, authentication has been replaced. Node-RED now authenticates users against Home Assistant 🔒. This allows you to log into your Node-RED using your Home Assistant credentials.

Some other noteworthy changes:

• http_node no longer requires a username/password and can be left empty if you'd like.
• http_static no longer requires a username/password and can be left empty if you'd like.
• The Google TTS API should be fixed (love to hear feedback on this!).
• The add-on has now "Manager" access to the Hass.io API, which allows you to restart Home Assistant and Hass.io add-ons in your flows.
• The documentation has been updated with an FAQ to help with common problems.

⬆️ Upgrade instructions

• Be sure to run at least Home Assistant 0.80.1. Any older version might cause troubles with getting connected or on logging in.
• Remove the users list from the add-on configuration. You don't need it anymore since the add-on now authenticates against Home Assistant.
• There are some breaking changes with two of the nodes. The Poll State and Current State both have a little different formatted output. Check your nodes and make sure they are outputting what you expect.
• If you have been using the @Spartan-II-117 fork, this upgrade should be a drop in replacement. It is strongly suggested to not use this fork with this add-on anymore.
• Finally, make sure your Home Assistant server connection in Node-RED uses http://hassio/homeassistant as the server URL! This is really important, you really don’t need any other URL or long-lived access token.
