  • DLNA Renderer: Path: Settings → Experimental → Mod Store. Thanks @303inmyheart #93. Ava can now act as a DLNA/UPnP renderer for music and device-decodable video streams. High-resolution or unusual video codecs may still depend on the device’s hardware decoding support. Playback is headless by default; enable Cinema in the mod config if you want video UI or controls. DLNA can compete with Music Assistant/Sendspin for audio focus, so use one at a time. Earpiece output requires device HAL support. Discovery is faster when configured from HA; some DLNA apps may take longer to discover it. If the service unexpectedly exits, restart Ava.

  • Screen Color Filter: Path: Settings → Experimental → Mod Store. Control screen tint and opacity from Home Assistant. Supports off/red/blue/dark/yellow/green/gray.

  • HA STT Engine: Path: Settings → Experimental → Mod Store. Local offline Wyoming STT on port 10300. Supports Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Cantonese. First run downloads a ~230MB SenseVoice model; optimized for low-end devices.

  • HA Edge TTS: Path: Settings → Experimental → Mod Store. Wyoming TTS on port 10301 using Edge TTS voices. Supports multiple languages, voice, speed, volume, and pitch settings.

  • BLE ADV Proxy: Path: Settings → Experimental → Mod Store. Thanks @realroywalker #96. Ava replicates the ESP32 functionality of [esphome-ble_adv_proxy](https://github.com/NicoIIT/esphome-ble_adv_proxy) and works with [ha-ble-adv](https://github.com/NicoIIT/ha-ble-adv). After installing, enable the separate BLE ADV Proxy switch in Ava’s Bluetooth settings, then configure ha-ble-adv in HA. Ava exposes ble_adv_proxy_name, setup_svc_v0, adv_svc, and adv_svc_v1; scan hits fire esphome.ble_adv.raw_adv, and control broadcasts temporarily pause/resume related scans.

  • Video calls now include Smooth/HD/Ultra HD quality modes.

  • Fixed crashes when adding Bluetooth devices, wrong icons for unknown devices, and poor RSSI threshold/ringtone preview UX.

  • Thanks @cw20081 #92: fixed camera display and rotation issues; some HA camera display behavior still depends on the HA frontend.

  • Thanks @realroywalker #91: improved the AEC/playback reference path on Portal-like devices for better wake word behavior during music playback.

  • Thanks @vexter0944 #95: Sendspin now supports MA controller delta state and improves repeat/shuffle, group volume, mute, seek, and stop sync.

  • Main screen initialization is faster and the loading animation is smoother; known issue: devices with many app icons may still stutter.
