Core Fixes and Features
Z-Wave Improvements
Z-Wave integration received a critical fix to the NVM restore command, ensuring that the process now properly waits until the driver reports ready status before proceeding. This avoids potential synchronization issues and driver errors during NVM restore operations.
Additionally, the entity category for the “reset accumulated values” button was corrected, improving the organization and visibility of related entities in the user interface.
HomeKit Temperature Sensor Fix
The HomeKit air purifier temperature sensor now correctly converts temperature units, fixing previous issues where temperature readings did not reflect proper unit conversions. This ensures accurate environmental monitoring when using HomeKit-enabled purifiers.
New Device Support: VeSync LAP-V102S-AUSR
Support was added for the VeSync LAP-V102S-AUSR device, expanding the compatibility range and enabling users to integrate this device seamlessly into their Home Assistant setups.
La Marzocco Library Update and Fixes
The pylamarzocco library was updated to version 2.0.1, addressing improvements in device communication. Alongside this, a bug with the statistics coordinator subscription was resolved to ensure consistent data collection and display.
Point Integration Fix
A critical module import error that could prevent the Point integration from operating correctly was fixed, restoring full functionality for users relying on this integration.
Fronius Firmware SSL Verification Disabled
For Fronius Gen24 firmware version 1.35.4-1, SSL verification was disabled to bypass existing connection issues. This measure enables reliable integration connectivity despite SSL complications present in this firmware version.
Backup Process Modifications
The backup system was modified to skip the encryption and decryption steps for unknown files within archives, significantly increasing the robustness and reliability of the backup and restore processes.
Fritz!SmartHome Template Fix
An issue where smart home templates could be incorrectly deleted at startup on AVM FritzBox devices was resolved. This fix prevents accidental loss of templates, maintaining the integrity of user configurations.
DNSIP and Forecast Solar Library Updates
To maintain integration stability, the aiodns dependency for DNSIP was updated to version 3.4.0, and the forecast-solar library was updated to version 4.2.0. These updates address dependency issues and improve functionality.
Frontend and Reolink Enhancements
The frontend received an update to version 20250509.0, incorporating the latest improvements and fixes.
The Reolink integration added logic to clean device registry MAC addresses and improved the cleanup of connections and identifiers, resulting in fewer related errors and smoother operation.
