What's new in Kiosk Satellite 2026.8.58
Two fixes: the ESPHome Screen light gets its brightness slider back, and a trailing slash in the Home Assistant URL no longer silences the voice pipeline.
Fixed: The ESPHome Screen light is dimmable again
- The entity described its brightness support only through the ESPHome protocol's legacy field, which modern Home Assistant ignores in favor of the newer color-mode list, so the light that carried a working brightness slider on MQTT came across ESPHome as bare on/off (#242).
- The entity now declares the brightness color mode in both its description and its state. Existing devices pick it up on their next reconnect after updating, no removing or re-adding needed, and brightness automations work the same as they did on MQTT.
Fixed: A trailing slash in the Home Assistant URL no longer breaks the voice pipeline
- The URL field accepted "http://ha:8123/" but stored it verbatim, so the native voice pipeline dialled a double-slash WebSocket path and every wake word died with an upgrade error, while the rest of the app, which normalized the URL on read, kept working and gave no hint.
- The setting is now canonicalized to its origin (scheme, host, port) on every write, and a value stored with a trailing slash by an older version is rewritten once at startup.
