Bug fixes
- The display no longer drops back to the dimmed brightness on the second touch after a boot. The display resync after the first page change now sends the regular brightness once the boot has completed (#683, closes #682).
- The PID climate add-ons now respect a minimum relay on-time and off-time, so the relay is no longer switched with very short pulses. Pulses shorter than the minimum on-time are skipped and made up for by the following cycles, and pauses shorter than the minimum off-time keep the relay on. A new cycle also waits until its relay has been off for the minimum off-time, which matters when that is longer than the PWM period (with
dual, each relay on its own, also when the cycle changes between heating and cooling). Switching the room off, changing the mode and the boost still apply immediately (#684, closes #679).
Improvements
- The PID climate add-ons now take the controller output once per cycle, so a change in the middle of a cycle no longer cuts a pulse short or switches the relay on twice. A new demand on an idle relay starts a new cycle right away (#684).
- New substitutions
pid_min_on_timeandpid_min_off_time(default 180 s, up to 900 s), with a lower limit set bypid_min_time_limit(default 60 s), all checked at build time. They are not exposed to Home Assistant by default; the documentation shows how to expose them from your local yaml (#684).
Documentation
- The PID climate documentation now warns that these packages are meant for zone valve actuators, not for the demand input of a boiler or heat pump, and that the heating system must handle all zones being closed at once (#684).
Performance
- The climate page slider and values are now built in a single template. Distinct templates go from 981 to 960, widening the margin under Home Assistant's template cache of 1,024 entries, which reduces the load on Home Assistant, especially with Spook enabled (#681).
Development
- A new equivalence test compares what the climate page slider sends to the panel before and after Blueprint changes (#681). The equivalence tests now also compare errors in the reference version instead of stopping.
