Highlights

• no more confusing primary_entity holding a single entity, and secondary_entities holding a list. Now a single entities entry holds a list of all the entities linked to the device.
• products listings now support manufacturer, model and model_id to be specified separately in the config (to be used in the UI in future).

Breaking changes

• Previously deprecated switch and number entities that were replaced by valve entities in 2024.8 have now been removed.
• Using primary_entity and secondary_entities in a config will now raise deprecation warnings. Support for these tags will be removed in a future release, so if you maintain your own configs, please update them to use a single entities list instead.
• Air quality sensors have been standardized and translated. This may have caused some changes to status strings. If you read the status in automations, the comparison values may need updating.
