2024.12.1 a more stable config flow

Highlights

This release is primarily to fix two issues in the config flow, one a longstanding complaint from HA in the log that does not have any real effect, the other an issue in the previous change to consider local product ids as well as cloud ones when the device cannot be automatically discovered locally.

One new device and one improvement to an existing device were also added in the timeframe since 2024.12.0.

New devices

• Poolex Ice Spa 70 heat pump #2541

Improvements to existing devices

• Beca BHT-002 thermostat: add hvac_action where supported, dynamic detection of external thermometer #2640 by GvidasLTU

General improvements

• config_flow: handle the case where device cannot be automatically found on local network during cloud config flow #2643
• config_flow: avoid I/O in the main loop by removing a complex attempt to make a generator into an async generator. #2584

Development improvements

• CI workflows now use Python 3.13 to match HA 2024.12

2024.12.0 Matching products

Breaking changes

• ZYM100M: the deprecated status sensor has been removed. Use the motion and occupancy binary sensors instead
• Jiahong ET72W: energy sensor is removed and replaced with a runtime sensor, which is what it was actually measuring.

Highlights

• Lights with only brightness can now turn off again
• configs can now be matched by product id
• 20 new devices, improvements to 8 devices plus some general improvements

Breaking changes

• Requires HA 2024.11.0 or later
• fault codes have been moved from primary entities into the problem binary_sensor for many devices.

2024.11.0 - performance enhanced

Highlights

• support for base64 encoded UTF-16 text fields
• product id logged during cloud setup flow for easy New Device reporting
• better cleanup of stalled devices during reload and reconfiguration
• faster response when using the default persistent connection to devices

Breaking changes

• vacuum standby commands have been replaced by implementing the stop action. stop was previously avoided in command lists, to avoid ambiguity with the direction control stop command. This change allows both to coexist by keeping the direction control when the command action is called with a stop command, but the stop action will run the former standby command. If you are using the command action in automations or UI buttons etc with the standby command, these will need to be updated to use the stop action instead.

• status sensors have been standardised to use translations, so output values have changed. If you use the sensor values in automations etc, please check the current pre-translation values in Developer tools or the config file, and update your automations.
