A keyboard for text fields on streamed dashboards, a ring of your own for calls, an optional ring before a Drop In answers, and the wake word lighting a screen that went dark for an empty room.
- Typing on streamed dashboards (#493, thanks @mitxol): tap a text field on a streamed (dashcast) dashboard, such as Music Assistant's search, and the Show's own keyboard comes up, titled with the field's name and showing any text already in it. What you type goes into the page as you type; Done or Enter submits and Cancel lets the field go. A keyboard left alone puts itself away after 2 minutes. A password's text is never sent to the device. Update dashcast along with the Show (
docker compose pull); an older dashcast simply shows no keyboard. - A ring of your own (#504, thanks @tygralou): Call ring has a new choice, Your own, which plays the recording you upload as the Intercom ringtone sound, for every call that comes in, phone calls included. Without a recording, the standard ring plays.
- A ring before Drop In answers (#504): Drop In ring delay in Home Assistant (Disabled, or 2 to 15 seconds) has a Drop In ring for that long before its warning chime and answer. Allow Drop In and Do Not Disturb are checked again when the delay ends: a call no longer allowed rings for a manual answer, or is turned away under Do Not Disturb. Disabled, the default, keeps Drop In as before.
- The wake word lights a dark screen (techo5-spot#12, thanks @mauricekft): with Screen off when nobody is near on, saying the wake word now lights the screen even when the camera can't see who said it, so you see the answer. It goes dark again after the same wait once nobody is seen.
- Weather in your language (#531, thanks @christianschmidt): the weather page's High, Low and Rain follow the screen's language (German now shows Max and Min).
- QR scanning (#527, thanks @miraassist):
qr_scanreads the camera's picture more directly and looks every 150 ms, so codes are found faster. - Immich pictures of any type (#530, thanks @MrLemur): pictures from Home Assistant's Immich integration show in the slideshow whatever their type, RAW photos such as DNG included.
- Show 8 2nd gen installer (#535, thanks @i-meraj): a unit that ran LineageOS before TECHO5 has its speaker tuning recognized and applied.
