Let's talk about the new things this release!

Faster detection of issues

Spook can now float through your system faster and will be quicker, alerting you something is wrong. That means it is also quicker to remove/resolve issues by itself when you've resolved something 🚀

Spook now speaks scenes

Spook now understands Home Assistant scenes! It will raise issues in the repair center if it finds scenes referencing entities no longer known to Home Assistant. Keeping your instance nice, clean, working, and healthy.

Let's talk about the new things this release!

Inverse helper

Spook can now provide helpers to Home Assistant. This release will bring you the first one: The inverse helper! The inverse helper allows you to invert the behavior of a switch or binary sensor entity. On becomes off, and off becomes on. The world is upside down!

📚 Learn more in the documentation

Person enhancements

New services are available that allow you to add and remove device trackers from persons dynamically. It is helpful, for example, when you temporarily want to attach the device tracker of your car to the person who took it.

Let's talk about the new things this release!

Boring but predictable versioning with SemVer

The version looks different, right? As of this release (and the previous release), Spook has adopted the SemVer versioning. This gives you an idea of the impact Spook brings when upgrading.

Manage your zones with services

Three new services have been added that allow you to create, update & delete zones on the fly! 🪰

This can be really cool too. For example, create a dynamic zone around your car or RV, and detect which persons are in/near it.

📚 Learn more in the documentation

Entities for monitoring and controlling Repair issues

A new device has been added to Spook, providing insights and controls over your Home Assistant Repairs.
