F1 Sensor – v4.1.0-beta.1
⚠️ This is a beta release intended for testing.
New features
-
Add No Spoiler Mode to prevent F1 session results from reaching your dashboard
A new global switch called "No Spoiler Mode" is now available under the F1 Sensor system device. When turned on, all live session data, race results, standings, and FIA documents are frozen so no spoilers can appear in your dashboard while you are waiting to watch a session. Schedule and calendar data continue to update as normal so you always know when the next race is. When you turn the mode off, all blocked data is immediately refreshed and delivered. The setting is remembered across Home Assistant restarts. -
Add qualifying segment times and elimination status to driver positions sensor
Each driver in the driver positions sensor now includes their best lap time from Q1, Q2, and Q3 separately, along with their finishing position within each segment and whether they were eliminated at the end of that segment. A new top-level attribute shows which qualifying segment is currently active. This makes it possible to build dashboards that display the full qualifying picture, including who was knocked out in Q1 and Q2, all within a single sensor. -
Add sector times to driver positions with purple, green, and yellow classification support
Each driver in the driver positions sensor now includes current lap sector times for all three sectors, along with flags indicating whether each sector is the session's overall fastest (purple) or the driver's personal best (green). Personal best sector times are also tracked separately, giving dashboards everything needed to display sector timing in the classic F1 color scheme. Sector times are automatically cleared during safety car and virtual safety car periods, reset between qualifying segments, and preserved after the session ends for post-race review.
Bug fixes
- Remove integration and device name prefix from entity display names
Entity names previously appeared in dashboards and automations with a redundant prefix, such as "F1 - Race Next race" or "F1 - Championship Driver standings". They now show only the entity-specific label, for example "Next race" or "Driver standings". Any entity names you have customized manually are not affected by this change.
