on GitHub

Summary

This release fixes a critical service call issue that prevented panel controls from working
and modernizes weather integration for better reliability across different weather providers.

Critical Fixes

Service Call Functionality Restored

Fixed service calls broken in recent versions - resolved issue preventing users from controlling
devices (lights, covers, climate, etc.) from their panels.

Issue details:

• Service call functionality was inadvertently broken in recent optimization releases
• Users unable to control lights, covers, and other entities from the panel
• Panel interface appeared to work but commands weren't being executed

Issues Reference:

• #2905
• #2923

Result: Full device control functionality restored. Users can now control all entities from their panels again.

Weather Integration Modernization

Cleaned up weather implementation by removing legacy AccuWeather-specific code
and adopting Home Assistant's standardized weather forecast approach.

Weather improvements:

• Removed AccuWeather-specific legacy code - old implementation tied to specific integration quirks
• Standardized forecast retrieval - now uses only weather.get_forecast action from Home Assistant
• Universal compatibility - works consistently across multiple weather integrations
• Improved reliability - more robust weather data handling

Benefits:

• Better compatibility with various weather integrations (AccuWeather, Met.no, OpenWeatherMap, etc.)
• More consistent behavior across different weather providers
• Simplified maintenance through standardized Home Assistant API usage

Technical Details

The service call fix addresses a regression introduced during recent optimization work,
restoring full entity control functionality. The weather modernization aligns the project
with Home Assistant's standardized weather integration approach, improving long-term maintainability.

Result: Restored device control functionality with modernized, more reliable weather integration
that works consistently across different weather providers.
