Requires Home Assistant Core 2026.9.0 or newer.
Fixes #268 by replacing the deprecated device lookup with a lookup scoped to the owning config entry. Firmware and hardware metadata updates retain startup and repeated-reply behaviour.
This candidate is based on current master, including its unreleased model-capability refactor. It is not an issue-only hotfix relative to v7.4.0.
Install this exact prerelease and restart Home Assistant fully. Live pilot qualification is pending. Keep the v7.4.0 package and a pre-upgrade backup available for rollback; restoring the previous package also requires a full restart.
The release tag will identify the exact validated source commit, and the ZIP will include its SHA-256 checksum.
