F1 Sensor – v2.4.0

This update brings refinements to the integration as the 2025 Formula 1 season approaches its conclusion. With only two races remaining, we have seen a year full of twists, momentum shifts and unexpected drama. Version 2.4.0 is likely the final update before development shifts toward the 2026 season.

A new and improved documentation site is now available for the integration. See the updated wiki for guides, details and examples: https://nicxe.github.io/f1_sensor/

🔧 Improvements

• Improved ingestion and parsing of data from the Jolpica F1 API for greater stability
• Optimised all internal coordinators by passing the config_entry to each one, preventing ContextVar-related runtime issues

🚀 Roadmap for Season 2026

The unofficial F1 Live Timing system exposes a large set of data streams not yet fully used by the integration. Many of these will shape the development focus for the next season.

You can follow or contribute to the ongoing roadmap discussion for the 2026 season here: #159

Race Control & Messaging

• More robust handling of Race Control messages
• Providing access to FIA Decision documents for automations and notifications

Timing & Race Dynamics

• Deeper integration of TimingData (gaps, intervals, sector performance)

Tyres, Stints & Strategy

• Access to tyre and stint data through

Team Radio & Media Events

• Direct integration with TeamRadio metadata including audio file URLs

Position & Telemetry

• Support for compressed feeds such as:
  CarData (speed, RPM, gear, throttle, brake, DRS status)
  Position (real-time car positions on track)

Analytics & Prediction

• Potential to use advanced series such as
  OvertakeSeries, ChampionshipPrediction, TopThree

And maybe… pitstop analytics

• Exploring access to DHL pitstop standings for automation and dashboards

2026 will open up even more possibilities for automation, live visualisation and deeper insights inside Home Assistant.
