pydeconz release

Release ZHAFire test mode property · Kane610/deconz

[Robban]

Released with Home Assistant 2022.3.0

This release will see moving a lot of attributes to their own sensors, hence the refactoring work listed so far. E.g. dark value reported by presence sensors if the area near the sensor is light or not, will be moved from being an attribute to its own sensor. the needed infrastructure is in place but I focused on refactoring the library to for general improvements and making it possible to strictly type code first, so moving from attributes to entities will be targeted for a future release.

• Refactor generating binary sensors
• Clean up numbers platform making it easier to extend in the future
• Refactor generating sensors
• Add Button entities; first out is store scene state
• Enable strict type checking for everything but platforms

pydeconz releases

Release Make scenes better · Kane610/deconz

[Robban]

Released with 2022.4.0

No real functional changes introduced this release, primarily improved design and rework under the hood making sure to keep up to date with all architectural improvements continually ongoing with the Python language and Home Assistant.

• Complete typing of binary sensor, light, logbook, number, sensor platforms
• Type device_trigger
• Type deconz_event
• Type deconz_device

A lot of time has gone into reworking the pydeconz library meaning the previous aim to have the full integration strictly typed as been post poned and I now aim to try to reach this goal with 2022.5 release instead. Checkout the pydeconz commit history if you’re interested.

[Robban]

Released with Home Assistant 2022.5.4

• Power plug events could reset group state

Released with Home Assistant 2022.5.0

The Overhaul of the pydeconz library also shared light on aspects of the integration in need of additional changes to reach the end goal of strict typing of both library and integration. This means even more work (that might hopefully reach 2022.5 release).

• Use v88 of pydeconz library in integration

Improve typing and enable strict typing of platform

• Config flow
• Service
• Gateway
• Event
• Diagnostic
• Alarm Control Panel
• Climate
• Light
• Cover, Lock, Siren and Switch
• Binary sensor
• Sensor
• Binary sensor, Fan, Logbook, Number
• Button, deconz_event, device_trigger, scene
• Deconz_device
• Finalize type hinting integration
• Closed Enable strict typing of integration as the parts of it (listed above) have been merged

• alarm control panel
• group and scene imports
