Meteo-France Integration Updates
Meteo-France integration has been enhanced to support new states recently introduced by the Météo-France API as of mid-April. This ensures that weather information drawn from the API is up to date and more accurate.
One notable update is the adjustment of the weather condition mapping specifically for “Ciel clair” (clear sky), providing better consistency in how weather states are represented within Home Assistant.
For in-depth details about these changes, users are encouraged to consult the meteo_france integration documentation.
Home Connect Integration Improvements
The Home Connect integration now intelligently creates active and selected program entities only when the device actually has available programs. This change prevents unnecessary entity clutter, improving system efficiency and user control over connected appliances.
For more details about this behavior, users should refer to the home_connect integration documentation.
Dependency Updates and Maintenance
Setuptools Upgrade and Fixes
The setuptools package has been upgraded to version 78.1.1. This upgrade ensures improved compatibility and overall stability within the Home Assistant environment. Additionally, a license check issue affecting setuptools was resolved, eliminating potential deployment problems.
Library Updates Affecting Integrations
Several important libraries were updated to maintain optimal integration functionality:
- aiohomekit upgraded to 3.2.14, impacting the HomeKit controller integration’s reliability and performance.
- dio-chacon-api updated to version 1.2.2, relevant to users with Chacon Dio devices.
- pysmartthings bumped to 3.0.5, enhancing support for SmartThings ecosystems.
Other Integration Improvements
LinkPlay Media Player
The LinkPlay media player integration now supports a configurable scan interval and allows parallel updates. These enhancements provide better performance and responsiveness when interacting with media player devices.
Random Sensor
Device classes within the Random sensor integration have been synchronized to ensure correctness and accurate device representation.
Vodafone Station
A bug affecting the unloading of configuration entries in the Vodafone Station integration was fixed. This resolves issues some users experienced when disabling or removing the integration.
