⚠️ Breaking Changes

In our previous release (1.5.1), we moved snapshots to /config/media/llmvision/snapshots. This change caused issues for some users who were using other integrations that depend on the /media directory. As a result, the snapshots directory is moving again to /media/llmvision/snapshots.

What this means for you:

• Existing snapshots will automatically migrate to the new location when you restart after upgrading to 1.5.2.
• You can remove the media folder configuration that you may have added to your configuration.yaml as it is no longer required.
• If you have any custom automations that use snapshots, update your template to:
  {{ response.key_frame.replace('/media','/media/local') }}
• If you use the Timeline Card, make sure to update it as well!

I apologize for any inconvenience this causes!

Integration

🌐 Languages

• Support for Hungarian language: Added 🇭🇺 Hungarian translations. (by @bekdan1988)
• Support for Catalan language: Added Catalan translations. (by @alemuro)

🔧 Improvements & Fixes

• Improved keyframe selection: Keyframe should now show the detected object more reliably. (by @valentinfrlch)
• Timeline events not deleted: Fixed a bug that caused events not being deleted properly. (by @valentinfrlch)
• Anthropic fix: Fixed an issue that caused validation to fail for the Anthropic provider. (#475) (by @valentinfrlch)
• Reduced image pipeline latency: Frames are now stored directly in memory instead of in a temporary directory. This reduces disk wear and reduces latency caused by I/O operations. It also fixes a race condition when running multiple actions in parallel. (#505, #510) (by @valentinfrlch)
• Moved Timeline snapshots: Snapshots are now stored securely behind Home Assistant authentication in /media. LLM Vision will attempt to migrate your previously captured snapshots to the new folder. (by @valentinfrlch)
• System Prompts: System prompts are now injected as actual system messages for every provider, which should improve their effectiveness. Also try out the updated default system and title prompts. (by @valentinfrlch)
• max_tokens now optional: max_tokens is now an optional parameter. Newer models use tokens for reasoning, which could result in empty responses if max_tokens was set too low. (by @valentinfrlch)
