Release 0.6.0
The Integration has now been rewritten to use Websockets for updating events, giving a lot of benefits:
- Motion and doorbell updates should now happen right away
- Reduces the amount of entity updates since we now only update cameras that change when we poll instead of them all.
- Reduce the overall load on Home Assistant.
Unfortunately, Websockets are only available for UnifiOS powered devices (UDMP & UNVR), so this will not apply to people running on the CloudKey. Here we will still need to do polling. Hopefully Ubiquity, will soon move the CloudKey to UnifiOS or add Websockets to this device also.
All Credits for this rewrite goes to:
- @bdraco, who did the rewrite of both the IO module and the Integration
- @adrum for the initial work on the Websocket support
- @hjdhjd for reverse engineering the Websocket API and writing up the description
This could not have been done without all your work.
