  • Bugfix: multi-value sensors aren't being added to HA (thanks @GegoSK and nightfever)

Some nice improvements and bugfixes in this version, thanks for all the reports :)

I'm away for 10 days; if something's broken despite my somewhat rigorous testing, you can simply uninstall and then install the previous version without loss of settings - but please post the issue and optionally your logs. I'll reply as soon as I'm back.

Features & improvements:

  • Configuration screen revamp
    • Every section now has its own page, to allow for more options and info text
  • Configuration page added: Local Storage
    • Manage how long your notification images are cached
  • Configuration page added: Logging and Reporting
    • Manage extended logging options
  • It's now possible to set a custom discovery topic [#11] (thanks @ivanlee1007)
  • New single-value sensor: LastSystemStateChange
    • Contains the last system state change (you guessed it), like SystemShutdown, SessionLogon, SessionRemoteControl etc. (full list shown when you add the sensor)
    • Useful to monitor (unwanted) logins, etc
  • Performance counter-based sensors
    • Previously, CPU load (amoung others) got fetched through WMI - which is a pain and resource-heavy
    • CPU load has been changed to performance counters, the rest will follow
    • The next version will enable you to add your own counters
    • You can use 'perfmon.exe' to get familiar with them

Bugfixes:

  • HASS.Agent will do its best to announce it's unavailable on shutdown/logout/suspend [#12] (thanks @miit86)
  • Lock command isn't stored properly [#13] (thanks @bfish2)
  • CurrentClockSpeed and CpuLoad sensors don't provide values [#17] (thanks @GegoSK)
    • Note: CurrentClockSpeed currently provides the factory provided value (ie. what it's capable of)
  • SessionState sensor changed from WMI to Windows API
    • The WMI method used too much CPU
    • Values changed to Locked, Unlocked and Unknown
    • Unknown also occurs when the user disconnects (in case of a remote connection)
    • Use a LastSystemStateChange sensor to detect what happened
  • Notifier local API now won't start if notifications are disabled [#15] (thanks @mitchcapper)
