What's changed
This is a more experimental release. Many users face challenges with reauthentication, especially after restarts or updates of Home Assistant. This is hard to debug as I don't face these issues. I have had a deeper look, together with some community contributions, and I have rewritten the auth flow to persist sessions across restarts (hopefully!).
HA should no longer requires re-authentication after updates or reboots. Additionally, a new Chrome extension replace the manual DevTools cookie-hunting during setup, letting you capture the long-term credentials with a single click instead.
Please give this release a try, especially if you've been experiencing auth issues. If you're currently having problems, the best approach is to remove your config entry, reinstall using the Chrome extension, and set up from scratch. This ensures the right cookies are captured. Feedback is welcome!
