BREAKING CHANGES in 3.0.0

This release has some breaking changes for some devices, so please read carefully.

Yeelight dimmer and Yeelight smart switch

The following sensors will have a breaking change in this release. Please verify your configuration settings.

• YLAI003: The time after which the sensor state returns to no press has been changed from a fixed value of 1 second to the time that can be set with the reset_timer option (default 35 seconds).
• YLKG07YL, YLKG08YL: The sensor state will now return to no press after the time that is set with the reset_timer option (default 35 seconds). If you don't want this, you can return to the old behavior by setting the reset_timer to 0 seconds.

It is advised for all sensors to change the reset_timer to a relatively short period, e.g. 1 second.

Battery entities

• Removal of the generate battery entities option.
  • The option batt_entities has been removed (it will display a warning if still in your YAML configuration). BLE monitor will, from now on, always generate the battery and/or voltage entities. HA has built in functionality to disable these sensors.

New sensor: Qingping Bluetooth clock (CGC1)

• This device (most likely) requires an encryption key. If you have information about update frequency, encryption key requirement, and/or a log with report_unknown: "qingping", we can improve the documentation and implement qingping format support without encryption. Please open an issue if you want to help us with this information.

Other changes

• Rewriting sensor and binary sensor (part 6)
  • Optimization of the code to make it easier to add future sensors
