🧠 Feature Release: v0.3.2 - Smart Time Sensors
Time sensors are now intelligent! They show N/A when values don't make sense for the current device state.
✨ New Features
Smart Time Sensor Logic
Time to Full and Time to Empty sensors now adapt based on what your device is doing:
| Device State | Time to Full | Time to Empty |
|---|---|---|
| 🔌 CHARGING (plugged in, no load) | ✅ Shows time | ❌ N/A |
| 🔋 DISCHARGING (on battery, load active) | ❌ N/A | ✅ Shows time |
| ⚡ UPS MODE (plugged in + load) | ✅ Shows time | ✅ Shows runtime* |
| 💤 IDLE (no power flow) | ❌ N/A | ❌ N/A |
* In UPS mode, "Time to Empty" shows how long the battery would last if input power disconnected
Always Visible
- Both time sensors always appear (no more disappearing based on TSL)
- Show "Unavailable" only when truly N/A for current state
- Zero values (0 minutes) indicate battery full/empty, not errors
Robust Edge Case Handling
✅ Missing property values → N/A
✅ Negative power (measurement errors) → Treated as 0
✅ None/missing power values → Treated as 0
✅ Small power values (1W) → Still trigger state logic
🧪 Quality Assurance
- 18 new comprehensive unit tests covering all scenarios
- Device states: idle, charging, discharging, UPS mode
- Edge cases: missing properties, zero/negative/None values
- All 43 tests passing (25 original + 18 new)
