What's new in Kiosk Satellite 2026.8.36

Renameable At a Glance entities, and fixes for MQTT disconnects with the camera enabled, a camera CPU regression, and a stuck Charging entity.

Each chosen entity in the picker, in device settings and the remote admin alike, now has an Edit action opening a single dialog with the entity's name and its displayed value.
A custom name replaces the Home Assistant name on the screensaver row, and clearing the field goes back to following Home Assistant. Handy where the registry name is a mouthful ("Garage Door Left Side") and the row only needs "Garage".

Some brokers cap the size of an MQTT packet and answer an oversize publish by dropping the whole connection. A camera frame larger than the cap your broker advertises is now skipped with a log line instead of sent, so a high snapshot resolution can no longer cost you the connection.
The fresh camera frame taken when the connection comes up is now throttled across reconnects, so a snapshot publish that kills the link can no longer re-kill every reconnect and keep the device offline for minutes.
A connect attempt that fails or times out is now fully disarmed. Before, it could linger as a ghost session that fights the real connection over the client id, with the broker kicking whichever connected last, flapping availability every minute or two.

On sensors whose only pinned frame rate is the full one, the exposure-hunt fallback meant restarting into the full-rate pipeline, the very cost the affected hardware cannot pay. A pinned rate is now used only when it is no faster than the slow range it replaces.

On devices whose kernel misreports the battery status, charging is now read from the charger's own plugged flag, in MQTT, the remote admin header and the health endpoint alike. A docked kiosk holding at 100% still reads as charging.
