Release Notes
Before proceeding with the update, please review the comprehensive release notes, as there are breaking changes.
Version 2.0.0
Exciting news! Version 2.0.0 is here, featuring a collaboration with Weerlive, unleashing a new API with enhanced capabilities for all users. Thank you, Martijn!
New features:
- Extended daily forecast: The weather entity now provides a 5-day daily forecast, up from the previous 3 days.
- Hourly forecast: The weather entity is extended with hourly forecast for the upcoming 24 hours.
- Entity names, attribute names and some states are now translated into English and Dutch and this can easily be extended into other languages.
Breaking changes:
To align with the latest developments:
- Python Version: The component now utilizes Python 3.12, in line with HA 2024.2 release.
- Deprecated forecast attribute: The deprecated forecast attribute in the weather entity has now been removed, as it won't be supported after 2024.3.
- All the previous entities will be removed during the upgrade and new ones are being created, Entity name (and unique_id) and attributes are renamed so you need to update your dashboards, automations and scripts (I'm really really sorry about this!). Better unique id's are now created to prevent this in the future.
New entities:
In response to user feedback and the deprecation of the forecast attributes in HA, several new entities have been introduced. Most of these sensors are not enabled by default, allowing you to choose the ones you find valuable. The amount of sensors enabled doesn't impact the API limits.
