Release Notes - Version 0.6.3

Release Date: October 27, 2025

Overview

Automatic device re-import on integration updates, improved hardware/software version detection, camera auto-detection, code cleanup, and enhanced migration logic.

🚀 Major Features

Automatic Device Re-Import

• No manual removal/re-import required after integration updates
• Version tracking ensures device information stays up-to-date
• go2rtc settings migrated automatically
• Works when printer is off during update
• User settings preserved during migration

Hardware/Software Version Detection

• Fixed missing HW/SW versions in device registry
• Extracts DWIN versions when printer versions are empty
• Falls back to DWIN versions (prefixed with "DWIN")

Camera Auto-Detection

• Automatic detection (MJPEG vs WebRTC) based on printer model
• K2 family → WebRTC, K1 family → MJPEG
• Re-detected on version upgrades

⚙️ Configuration Changes

Power Switch Picker

• Changed from Entity Selector to Text Input
• Entity selector doesn't support empty input; text input allows optional values
• Empty values automatically cleaned up

go2rtc Settings

• Migrated from old storage to entry options
• Defaults applied if missing (localhost:11984)

🛠️ Code Improvements

Cleanup

• Eliminated redundant device info caching code
• Created shared _get_cached_device_info() helper method

System Entity

• Uses cached device information instead of live telemetry
• Shows model, hostname, version when printer is off
• Excluded from "zeroing" logic when printer is powered off

Sensor Setup

• Removed delayed box temperature capability check
• Simplified entity creation logic

🔍 Detection Improvements

Model Detection

• Detection for K1, K1 SE, K1 Max, K2, K2 Pro, K2 Plus, Ender-3 V3 family
• Camera type detection based on model family
• Automatic capability detection (box sensor, box control, light)

Version Tracking

• Tracks version that cached device information
• Re-caches only when version changes
• Handles offline printer during updates

🐛 Bug Fixes

• HW/SW versions properly extracted and displayed
• System entity persists when printer is off
• Camera type detected on all verified models
• Power switch empty value handling fixed
• go2rtc settings migrated from old configuration
• Version updates no longer require manual device removal

🔄 Migration

No action required. Integration automatically:

1. Detects version change
2. Re-caches device information
3. Migrates go2rtc settings
4. Updates camera configuration if needed
5. Preserves user settings
