Summary
This release fixes the inverted light color temperature selector, removes the now-incompatible timezone support following a breaking change in ESPHome v2026.3.0, and restores CI test workflows broken by recent upstream updates.
Bug Fixes
Inverted Light Color Temperature Selector
Fixed a bug where the color temperature selector for lights was working in reverse. (#3250)
Details:
- Moving the slider towards warmer tones was incorrectly resulting in cooler color temperatures being applied, and vice versa
- The display value and the actual light behavior were misaligned, leading to a confusing and unintuitive user experience
Result: The color temperature slider now behaves as expected — warmer selections produce warmer light, and cooler selections produce cooler light.
Breaking Changes
Timezone Support Removed
Removed the previously implemented timezone support due to a breaking change in ESPHome v2026.3.0.
Details:
- ESPHome v2026.3.0 introduced a fully rebuilt timezone engine
- The new implementation is incompatible with the solution previously used in this project
- Continuing to ship the old implementation would result in incorrect or unpredictable behavior
Action required: If you were relying on timezone configuration provided by this project, please refer to the ESPHome
Time Component documentation for the timezone option available natively in the time platform of your choice (e.g. homeassistant, sntp).
Maintenance
CI Test Workflows Revised
Updated the GitHub Actions merge workflows to restore automated testing.
Details:
- Recent upstream changes had broken the existing merge test configurations
- Workflows have been revised to align with the current upstream state and restore reliable CI coverage
Result: Automated tests are now passing again for merge requests.
Release addressing an inverted light temperature selector, removal of incompatible timezone support following ESPHome v2026.3.0, and restoration of CI test workflows.
