v0.9.1 - Add authentication expiration notification

on GitHub

🔐 Improved Authentication Handling & User Notifications

This release introduces clearer, more helpful behavior when your Google authentication expires.

📣 Key Changes

• Persistent notification when Google authentication expires
• Notification now includes clear re-authentication instructions
• Log level change:
  "No app usage data" moved from warning to debug level to reduce noise in normal operation

🔄 What Happens When the Cookie Expires

When your Google authentication cookie expires, the integration now follows a clear, predictable flow:

1. Automatic refresh attempt
   The integration first tries to automatically refresh the authentication in the background.

2. Persistent notification on failure
   If the refresh fails, a persistent notification is created in the Home Assistant UI.
   This notification will stay visible until you’ve taken action, so you don’t miss it.

3. Step-by-step re-authentication instructions
   The notification includes clear, step-by-step guidance telling you exactly how to re-authenticate your Google account for the integration.

4. Automatic recovery after re-authentication
   Once you complete the re-authentication flow, the integration resumes normal operation automatically, without any extra configuration.

✅ Better Logs, Less Noise

• The message "No app usage data" is now logged at debug level instead of warning.
• Result: fewer false alarms in your logs and a clearer focus on real issues that need your attention.
