8.0.0 (2026-08-28)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

  • selected and unselected are removed from live.microphone.auto_unmute / auto_mute. A camera change ends any call and the microphone only carries audio during a call, so neither were useful.
  • live.microphone.disconnect_seconds is removed. The microphone is released when a call ends, so there is no idle countdown to configure. Use live.microphone.always_connected to hold it open instead.
  • The microphone_connect and microphone_disconnect actions are removed. The card owns the microphone lifecycle; microphone_mute and microphone_unmute remain.
  • call is removed from live.microphone.auto_mute, whose default is now []. The microphone is muted when a call ends regardless of this option.
  • microphone_unmute has no effect outside a call. Nothing carries the audio at any other time, so the request is ignored rather than opening the microphone.
  • condition: initialized is now false whenever the card is not usable, and trigger: initialized fires each time the card starts up rather than only the first time. Set ever: true on either to keep the previous behaviour.
  • Automations now follow Home Assistant's triggers: / conditions: / actions: model. Automations require a triggers: block and conditions: no longer wake an automation; actions_not is removed in favour of an if / then / else action; the nested acc.trigger.* template paths and the ambient advanced_camera_card template namespace are removed (use the top-level trigger.* surface and the acc alias); trigger-only condition forms (config, valueless camera / view / state) are no longer valid conditions; and template-condition vs template-trigger truthiness now follow HA. Existing configs are upgraded automatically where a faithful conversion exists; anything that cannot be converted is recorded under __UPGRADE_FAILURE__ for manual migration.
  • The microphone condition previously bundled two unrelated signals: whether a two-way-audio session was connected and whether the microphone was muted. Connection state is now its own dedicated call condition, and microphone is reserved purely for mute state. Configs are upgraded automatically (the card rewrites affected conditions under overrides, elements, and automations).
  • The screensaver image mode now shows a random image from picsum.photos instead of the embedded default image. If you previously set image.mode: screensaver, change it to image.mode: default to restore the previous behavior.
  • Requires configuration change (automatic upgrade offered) to move from (e.g.) data_left_stop to data_end_left
  • Changes the behavior of the not condition when there is more than one condition present. Users who desire the previous behavior should wrap their conditions in an and first.
  • Renames: untrigger_seconds to untrigger_delay_seconds
  • media_type and events_type are retired under live, viewer and timeline configuration sections, instead media type is associated (once) with the camera under media.
