F1 Sensor – v5.5.0-beta.6
⚠️ This is a beta release intended for testing.
This final beta candidate includes the reliability fixes since the last published beta, v5.5.0-beta.4.
Bug fixes
-
Show qualifying times in the correct session part
Qualifying cards show a time only when it belongs to the displayed Q1, Q2 or Q3 segment. Drivers without a time in the current segment show a placeholder; the wide layout keeps the separate qualifying history. -
Correct best laps and duplicate Race Control messages
The F1 Sensor integration and live data card now use each driver's official best lap even when earlier laps are missing, and keep corrections and deleted times consistent. The Race Control card shows each source event once. Reloading the integration also cancels pending driver-position updates. -
Keep F1 analysis and replay reliable through reloads
The F1 Sensor integration and live data card now recover their live views after integration reloads and keep analysis aligned with Live Delay. Switching or stopping replay no longer leaves playback stuck, and telemetry from a previous session cannot overwrite the current selection. The update also improves cleanup during interrupted setup and readability of the mobile strategy view. -
Keep replay isolated from live session cleanup
The F1 Sensor integration now keeps replay running when a previous live session closes, including paused playback with No Spoiler Mode enabled. Returning to live timing clears replay analysis so position changes reflect the current data. The live data card also keeps its replay selection aligned with the selected session. -
Preserve Race Control messages when replay starts or seeks
The F1 Sensor integration now restores real Race Control messages from saved replay snapshots in their original order. Empty timing responses no longer appear as generic messages in the live data card. -
Update Weekend Hub when replay pauses or stops
F1 Sensor now keeps open Weekend Hub cards in sync when replay is paused, resumed, stopped or finishes. Stopping playback clears old session data and telemetry without waiting for another timing update.
Documentation
- Bring release guides and Home Assistant screenshots into development
- Explain new dashboard features with real Home Assistant screenshots
The documentation now guides you through Weekend Hub analysis, replay telemetry, historical results and shared dashboard controls. Real Home Assistant screenshots show the replay views and race and qualifying archives alongside the setup steps. The guides are prepared for the main release and clarify data availability, spoiler controls and existing card compatibility. - Show how F1 Sensor brings race day into your home
Refresh the project introduction with practical examples of race dashboards, flag lighting and automations, including an animated lighting demonstration. Explain how Live Delay, Replay Mode and No Spoiler Mode support watching live or catching up later, and clarify which features need optional F1TV access.
Maintenance
- Keep release promotion history consistent
Release preparation now retains the previous beta promotion in its history so the required checks can validate the next candidate. - Strengthen checks for delayed live updates
The F1 Sensor integration now has an additional check that opening a live view preserves the configured delay. This verifies that a newly connected view receives the same delayed session data as existing views. - Consolidate pull request guidance and labels
Keep pull request guidance and component labels together while preserving the existing stable release process. Make the beta release verification entry point available for manual retries. - Make repository checks clearer and avoid repeated verification
Separate development, pull request and release verification while retaining the full checks before a release. Reuse recent verified results only for identical content, consolidate pull request metadata, and keep branch synchronization compatible with protected branches. - Preserve stable automation updates in development
Keep the stable automation history included in development while retaining complete verification before beta releases. This prevents the temporary stable entry point from conflicting with future promotions. - Verify pull request check selection
Protect the selection of pull request verification when development changes are pushed. Keep fresh checks available whenever an existing verification run cannot be confirmed.
