Bump Gen1 minimum firmware version to 1.11.0 (2021-07-15)

[bieniu]

Due to many fixes and new functionalities introduced in subsequent firmware versions, the minimum firmware version supported by aioshelly is increased to 1.11.0 (2021-07-15). This release included the last major change in API functionality (transition for lights).

Changelog: https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen1/#changelog

Same question, should we mark this as breaking change?

[thecode]

What does firmware 1.13.0 brings that older firmware doesn't support?
This is a relatively new firmware, while in Gen2 which is a new device it is make sense to enforce minimum version, we should have a good reason to enforce users to upgrade firmware for old devices which most of them are out of warranty and not sold anymore.

As for Motion, I am still using version 2.18 since I had WIFI problems with 2.19.

OK, maybe I was too strict with the version number.

Therefore I suggest using version 1.11.0 (2021-07-15 according to the documentation) as the minimum version for gen1, this version introduced transition for lights.

I don't remember why in the code the date for 1.11.0 is 2021-02-26 (maybe this was a beta?)

What do you think?

Sounds great

I don't remember why in the code the date for 1.11.0 is 2023-02-26 (maybe this was a beta?) https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/c8bb72935d935680ea7a9c5f8bde552f2d8f7dcd/homeassistant/components/shelly/const.py#L36-L37

What do you think?

Looking at the timeline of the releases I assume it was a pre-release firmware we tested. I downgraded a bulb (SHCB-1) to v1.11.0 using Firmware Archive Link Generator and it is dated 20210720-184102/v1.11.0-g6abd92e. I assume the few days difference is due the time it was released to the time it was actually built.

We can use 2021-07-15 as mentioned in the changelog, I think we should also add this in the PR description that the minimum is set this version that supports transitions.

I got lost, as code there was a reference to 2023-02-06 and one to 2021-07-20; how is just a few days ?

[bieniu]

The date in the code is 2021-02-06, not 2023, I made a typo.
When comparing firmware for different devices, the dates range is from 2021-07-15 to 2021-07-21 if I remember correctly.

Thanks
