Foreword

First of all, I'm very sorry for the lack of major updates this winter. I'm actually recently bought sailboat ⛵ that I've always dreamed about and it's taking way too much of my free time as of now... I'm still trying to keep up with bugfixes and HA's changes, so there's one more minor release for you.

Breaking changes

None

Integration changes

• Added translations for device names.
• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.5.15 to v0.5.16
• Removed dedicated UID sensor and display UID value as device's serial number instead.
• Fixed incorrect software version for thermostat device number.
• Fixed incorrect pending alert date.
• Fixed freeze on HA shutdown, when connection to device never succeeded during HA run.

Foreword

This is another one of these mostly bugfixy and optimizy release that addresses some of the oldest issues encountered by the community and includes some preliminary work for further changes.

Breaking changes

Thermostats (ecoSTERs) have their own sub-devices now, while previously they were added as a part of main ecoMAX device as climate entities. For now this sub-device only contains HA's climate entity, but in the future, it will have more entities added to it, such as timers and schedules. The thermostat device can be used to set thermostat parameters with Set parameter service.

Integration changes

• Added device classes for number entities. See: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/number/#available-device-classes
• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.5.11 to v0.5.15
• Updated progress steps in config flow. See: https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/01/11/async-show-progress-changes/
• Marked descriptions as frozen and kw_only. See: https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/12/11/entity-description-changes/
• Improved performance via cached properties.
• Fixed connection not properly closing when integration is failed to setup on HA's startup. Related to #45
• Fixed total fuel burned counter getting stuck after disconnect. Resolves #45
• Fixed incorrect mapping of summer mode names to values.

Foreword

After very long time spent in beta, this is a first release of the new 0.4.x branch of the integration based on PyPlumIO 0.5.x.

PyPlumIO 0.5.x brings about new design philosophy as well as much lower memory footprint (up to 55 Mb savings measured) and moderate performance upgrade, especially with multi-cored CPU. From the integration standpoint you can expect faster startup time and quicker reaction to parameter changes.

Being performance and optimization-oriented release, this version is a bit light on a new features, from the HASS integration standpoint, but it's nevertheless important milestone in improving user experience and overall project maturity.

Breaking changes

• Power and Load sensors are now listed under different keys in PyPlumIO. This means that sensors under old key will become unavailable and can be safely removed. If you use these sensors, make sure to update your dashboards and/or automations to point to a new sensors or simply edit IDs of new sensors to match the IDs of removed ones.
• Same for Weather control and Enable circuit switches and Grate mode temperature, Fuel calorific value, Circuit target temp and Circuit work mode parameters.

Integration changes

• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.4.14 to v0.5.11.
• Added support for pyserial-asyncio-fast. It features lower latency and faster writes when using RS-485 connection.
• Added mixer valve opening sensor for ecoMAX 860P6-O. Resolves: https://github.com/denpamusic/homeassistant-plum-ecomax/issues/54 Thanks @jszkiela72
• Added mixer valve state sensor for ecoMAX 860P6-O. Related to: https://github.com/denpamusic/homeassistant-plum-ecomax/issues/54 Thanks @jszkiela72
• Get parameter service now returns unit of measurement.
• Removed model string formatter, as formatting is now (better) done by PyPlumIO.
• Implemented better handling of unknown devices. Related to https://github.com/denpamusic/homeassistant-plum-ecomax/issues/44. Thanks @funraa
• Fixed schedule name extractor not working when schedule name contains _ (underscore). Found in: https://github.com/denpamusic/homeassistant-plum-ecomax/issues/44. Thanks @funraa
• Fixed alerts being reported as unsupported, when no alerts has happened yet.
• Fixed fuel level for ecoMAX 860P6-O. Resolves: https://github.com/denpamusic/PyPlumIO/issues/19. Thanks @jszkiela72
• Many more performance oriented changes, such as slotted classes and LRU caching.

• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.5.9 to v0.5.10.
• Fixed fuel level sensor for ecoMAX 860P6-O. Resolves: https://github.com/denpamusic/PyPlumIO/issues/19. Thanks @jszkiela72
• Fixed thermostats. Related to: https://github.com/denpamusic/PyPlumIO/issues/20. Thanks @jszkiela72

• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.5.8 to v0.5.9.
• Fixed water heater schedule switch not working. Thanks @funraa

• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.5.7 to v0.5.8.
• Fixed numbers not updating when changed on the controller.

Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.5.4 to v0.5.7.

Foreword

This is first beta release of new 0.4.x branch of the integration based on PyPlumIO 0.5.x.

PyPlumIO 0.5.x brings about new design philosophy as well as much lower memory footprint (up to 35 Mb savings measured) and moderate performance upgrade, especially with multi-cored CPU. From the integration standpoint you can expect faster startup time and quicker reaction to parameter changes.

Due to some breaking changes, this is released as beta without any additional new features, so you can safely test it and downgrade if there's a problem, without really losing anything in the process.

As always any feedback is much appreciated!

• Polish translation was completed and improved thanks to @dr4gonix.

NB: This will be the last release of 0.3.x branch and is meant as a "safe heaven" due to sheer amount of changes in PyPlumIO 0.5.x on which the next version of this integration will be based.
