• Services are now translatable. See: https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/07/11/translating-services
  As always any help with translation via PRs or simple email message is greatly appreciated.
• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.4.2.post1 to v0.4.4.
• Fixed memory leak caused by stream writer not being correctly closed on reconnect. Thanks @swex
• Prevent log spam by moving frame error related exceptions to the debug log level.

• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.3.5 to v0.4.2.post1.
• Skip frames that resulted in a failure during the initial setup from any further processing via versioning. Possibly resolves https://github.com/denpamusic/homeassistant-plum-ecomax/issues/26.
• Made fuel consumption update instantly.
• Improved memory footprint.
• Improved performance.
• Removed unused functions.

• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.3.5 to v0.4.2.post1.

I dub thee The Climate Update!😁

ℹ️ This version is identical to v0.3.4-beta.2. If you already have v0.3.4-beta.2 installed, you can safely skip or postpone the update.

• Added support for thermostats via climate platform.
• Added binary sensor for connection status. Useful for sending notification to the phone if controller is disconnected from the HASS.
• Added Return temperature sensor. Related to #19. Thanks @tusiek5
• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.2.39 to v0.3.3.
• Improved detection of connected devices (on initial config or when pressing the Detect sub-devices button). Three types of devices supported: indirect water heaters, mixers and thermostats.
• Improved integration setup procedure. Now it automatically retries in case of failure.
• Improved platform setup. Platforms unsupported by the controller are no longer loaded.
• Improved logging.
• Use native_precision property for rounding. See: https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/01/25/sensor_rounding. For future versions, it'll be further replaced with suggested_display_precision as described here.
• Moved product check to config flow, instead of doing it during platform setup.
• Fixed missing fanning state on ecoMAX 860P3-O. Resolves #19. Thanks @tusiek5
• Fixed incorrect value length, when setting thermostat parameters. Resolves #20. Thanks @tusiek5
• Fixed incorrect state class for Total fuel burned sensor.
• Minor fixes and improvements with both integration and PyPlumIO.

• Added connection status binary sensor. Displays current connection status with the EM controller. Could be useful for sending notification to the phone if controller is disconnected from the HASS.
• Increased default timeout value to avoid EcomaxConnection.async_setup timeout if controller lacks support for a certain requests. Related to #19. Thanks @tusiek5
• Fixed incorrect value length, when setting thermostat parameters. Resolves #20. Thanks @tusiek5

Before you ask, yes, we're doing beta releases on beta project now😅

This one is kind of special though.

Main feature of this release is support for thermostats via HASS'es climate platform, which you can setup through internal climate card like the one in the screenshot. If you have an ecoSTER, you can now hopefully control it via your HASS. No extra wires required, except your existing connection to the ecoMAX controller itself.

If correctly detected, thermostats will be available under main ecoMAX device's Controls section with the name like {ip/hostname/tty device} Thermostat {thermostat_number}.

If they are missing, try pressing Detect sub-devices button and wait for a couple of seconds for config entry to reload. If you still can't see it, don't hesitate to open an issue and let me know. Your feedback is very much appreciated! Don't forget to attach diagnostics though😉
