Back on Wi-Fi after the router changes channel, and streamed dashboards that don't freeze.

  • A device rejoins Wi-Fi after the router moves its 5 GHz channel. After moving to a strong 5 GHz radio, the device kept looking only on that channel, so a router on automatic channels (radar on a DFS channel, a channel scan) left it off the network until it was unplugged. Now the channel lock comes off a minute or two after the link is lost. The network watchdog also no longer trusts an address on its own: three minutes without a Wi-Fi link counts as down, so Wi-Fi is restarted, and the 15-minute reboot applies as it does with no address (#111). Thanks to @cgradl for the detailed report.
  • A streamed dashboard no longer freezes when the screen comes back to it. A dashcast tab picked up again after the screen went away stayed hidden in Chrome, sent no new pictures, and its taps piled up unread. Tabs now stay shown, a tab that stops answering is closed, and the screen reconnects to a fresh one within a second or two. This needs the new dashcast image: docker compose pull && docker compose up -d (#112). Thanks to @ablig77 for the detailed report.
  • A card's tap can run one of a device's own ESPHome actions. A drawn dashboard card whose tap runs an esphome.* action (showing a camera on a device, say) failed, because the card's entity was added to the call. Thanks, mawi13 (#109).

Nothing to do after updating, apart from pulling the dashcast image if you stream dashboards.
