This release reduces the load on Home Assistant on systems with several panels.
Saving any automation used to send the full settings to every panel at the same time, which could keep a busy Home Assistant occupied for a long time. Now only a panel whose own automation changed receives its settings again. Updating the Blueprint still updates every panel, and a Home Assistant restart works as before. As reloading an unchanged automation no longer re-sends the settings, restart the panel if you want it to receive them again.
While a panel is still receiving its settings, it no longer repeats its request for them. On a slow Home Assistant, each repeated request used to start another full transfer in parallel with the one still running, making everything slower.
The Blueprint and firmware changes are independent, so either can be updated first.
