8.4.0 - [BREAKING CHANGES] Beacon fixes and Tilt sensor support

on GitHub

Changes in 8.4.0

Breaking Changes

• Devices that were configured/added based on the UUID (like iBeacon, AltBeacon) were added in HA based with a lower case unique_id. Restoring the state during a HA restart caused HA to add the sensors with an upper case unique_id. From now on, these entities are always added and restored with uppercase unique_id. This change might therefore change the unique_id and might add duplicate sensors with _2 at the end of the sensor name. #800

  It is advised to delete the device once and let it be re-added automatically (or manually). This will clean old entities. You can delete a device (and its entities) by

  • going to the BLE monitor tile in the integrations menu, click configure,
  • select your device from the devices pull down menu at the bottom,
  • click submit
  • select delete device and click on submit twice. Your sensor will be re-added automatically, if the discovery option is turned on.

Other Changes

• Add support for Tilt sensors #798
• Fix for formaldehyde number of decimals not displaying 3 decimals
• Fix for iBeacon parser showing the formatted mac address in the parser output
