LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent 2022.13.0-beta4

on GitHub

Note: this is a beta release!

Last beta, @fillefilip8 implemented actionable notifications, which was already awesome. Well, he didn't stop there, and decided to create an entire new integration from scratch, providing:

• MQTT support

  • As long as you can reach your broker, you can now use notifications and mediaplayer functionality wherever you are
  • No more messing with port reservations or firewall rules

• Autodiscovery

  • Your devices show up by magic in HA's integration page
  • No more looking up your device's IP
  • Don't use MQTT? You can still add your device using the local API, through a config flow! No more yaml :)

• Improved mediaplayer

  • Support for seek, position and cover art
    • Requires a media application that supports Windows' media API, eg. Spotify
  • So so snappy! No more lagging behind

• Improved notifications

  • Use device triggers to easily create new actions
  • Change the default notification title through UI
  • Use media_source in the image field

• One integration to rule (integrate?) them all

  • Contains both notifications and mediaplayer
  • Both MQTT and the legacy local API are supported
  • Not ready to switch? The old integrations still work

Documentation will follow later, but the new notification action docs posted in the last release notes still apply:

The integration's pending to be merged on HACS, but you can manually add the repo:

This beta is a release candidate, so the more testers the better :)

Features & improvements

• Support and UI changes for @fillefilip8's new integration

• New sensor: BluetoothDevices (thanks ChrisRosenkreuz23)

  • Creates a sensor showing the amount of bluetooth devices (both connected and disconnected)
  • The devices are added as attributes, containing: ID, name, paired state and connected state

• New sensor: BluetoothLeDevices (thanks ChrisRosenkreuz23)

  • Creates a sensor showing the amount of LE bluetooth devices (both connected and discovered)
  • The devices are added as attributes, containing: ID, name, connected state and last seen (UTC)
  • Contains only devices that have been seen since the last scan interval

• Added manage satellite service button to its configuration page

• The Satellite Service now uses HASS.Agent's MQTT configuration by default

  • Except client_id
  • When you change the settings in the configuration page, they get synced to the service as well

• Sensor- and command names are now sanitized on creation to prevent rejection by HA (thanks RamonaSteve)

• Powershell sensor: remove newline chars ending [#152] (thanks @99030063)
