v2.11.0b1 — Realistic power/energy (Xenio), correct target temperature (Fenix) (beta)

pre-release2 hours ago

🧪 2.11.0 Beta 1

⚠️ Check your automations (Xenio)

The Power (estimated) sensor now drops to 0 once the target temperature is reached — the session keeps running. Automations that use Power > 0 as "the sauna is on" (or Power = 0 as "it stopped") will fire about when the sauna becomes ready instead of when it is switched off. Use the Power switch or the thermostat's state for on/off, and the thermostat's hvac_action for "heating".

Power and energy are realistic now (Xenio). Both counted the heater's full rating for the whole session, because the panel keeps reporting heating demand until the session ends. Compared against a meter on a Legend 10.8 kW: the integration reported 27.4 kWh for a session that really used 12.8–13.1 kWh. The estimate now counts rated power only until the target temperature is first reached — the same moment the thermostat already switches from heating to idle — which gives 11.9 kWh for that session. It still cannot see the element cycling while it holds the temperature, or a re-heat later in the session. Expect Energy and Last session energy to be roughly half of what they were. For exact figures, use a meter on the heater circuit.

The thermostat on Fenix shows the target the heater actually uses (#11). It showed a value from the device state that does not follow profile changes, so after switching a profile or applying a preset it kept the old temperature. Now it comes from the active profile while the heater is off, and from the live telemetry while it runs (a profile change arrives there within about half a minute). A preset is confirmed immediately. Humidity is handled the same way.

Fenix: waiting for a scheduled start no longer counts as energy used.

Xenio's target temperature and Fenix's power estimate are otherwise unchanged.

This is a pre-release. Enable "Show beta versions" for the integration in HACS to test it.
