Homekit Infused 2023.1.0

This is a hotfix release for HA 2023.4.x and newer because a lot of stuff broke. I was very busy buying/selling/moving to our new home and now I am very busy renovating our new home. This will take at least another 2 months. Unfortunately this also means that I do not have time to maintain this project properly at this moment. But because I myself also use HKI and HA very intensively I do want stay up-to-date and I don't want you guys to have to leave HKI just to update to the latest version of HA.

Unfortunately I was not able to test everything, so use this at your own risk. If you understand the risk and are happy that some features might not work as expected (or not work at all) then go ahead and update. This release should at least make HKI usable for 95% with the newer versions until I find the time to release a proper fix.

Before you update, make sure you update ALL custom cards and integrations available in HACS!

Changes:

• Fixed header overlapping core menu items
• Removed old light and switch popups in favor of the more responsive HA popups
• Removed navigation bar options (this is conflicting with HA 2023.4.x and newer and has thus been temporarily disabled). The good news is that I am able to fix it in the future with much more options becoming available to the navigation bar.
• Bumped version to 2023.1.0

Remember to always create backups in case it doesn't work out for you, that way you can easily go back to HA 2023.3.x and HKI 2022.6.3! I will give NO support to people who fail to do this simple task!

For now have a nice Easter weekend!

Homekit Infused v2022.6.3

Changes:

• Fixed bug when using the button addon and having the type set to fan would not change the button to a fan type
• Fixed bug in the plant-sensor addon, this addon is no longer broken
• Slight theme fixes
• Thermostats can now be added as a type in the button addon, this allows you to have thermostats in your button stacks (previously with the thermostat addon you could only show thermostats in that stack). With this thermostats will also have most button addon options available to them now (previously you could only set a few parameters for the way your thermostat looked). This also means custom labels, state_display and much more.

UPCOMING BREAKING CHANGES:

• The default thermostat addon might be removed in the future as it is much more customizable in a button addon. However not all features have been tested properly yet, so I will keep this addon around at least until 2022.8.x, that means 2 major updates (and with the speed of major updates coming to HKI this might still be a long time).

Homekit Infused v2022.6.2

Changes:

• Fixed issue introduced in HKI 2022.6.0 where the default number of columns was set to two, this was not meant to be changed so it has been reverted. As a reminder, you can always hardcode the amount of columns within a specific addon. This is the reason it didn't occur to me right away.

HKI 2022.6.0

*November Release

It's been a while again since this got updated (but hey, luckily it has been stable for months now). HA 2022.11.x changed some stuff so I had to come back and do some fixes. While I made quite the bugfixes for this release there are also a few new features you will probably enjoy!

Changes:

• Fixed bug where the Find My page would not show the map (this problem will still occur occasionally, but it is a lot better than not loading at all)
• Fixed issue where all cards would show its borders regardless of settings when updating to HA 2022.11.x
• Added thermostat label option (some thermostats do not output their attributes the same way and use their state instead, you can now switch between those modes if your thermostats require that)
• Fixed some styling in the profile menu when used with the default (non customizable) theme.
• Fixed some styling on the HKI Settings page
• Fixed issue where thermostat icon color would not change when the state was 'off'
• Fixed issue where the text on a button with a mini-graph as sensor would not change despite the set color
• Added 5 new themes: Paper White, Midnight Black, Orange Sunrise, Orange Sunset and Sweet Pink (Only available through the HKI Settings). 2 of them are new, the other 3 are themes from HKI 4 and below that finally made it back and now ported for HKI 5. As with all themes in HKI 5, you can edit them in real-time and adjust it to your likings!
• Added 1 user theme: Purple Blur (users might have found this already in the settings in the last version of HKI, it wasn't mentioned in the last notes). A very special thanks to @msinfo for creating this theme.
• The Purple Blur theme is now considered a dark theme and can no longer be selected as a light theme.
• Added theme options to save a custom made light and dark theme (and load it later). This is ideal for creating themes and quickly switching back.
• Added buttons to show all theme variables in a list (this makes it easier to share themes with each other)
• Changed the default layout from custom:masonry to custom:horizontal-layout.
• You can now set text transform on the label of a button via the HKI Theme Settings, previously it would capitalize the first letter of each word by default
• You can now use custom entities in the weather (simple-weather) addon as mentioned in the simple-weather-card documentation, previously this feature was missing from this addon
• Fixed an issue where setting some options on the button addon would do nothing (e.g. setting show_last_changed false when using a sensor or binary sensor would simply ignore the setting and show the last_changed status regardless)
• Added segments options for gauge, needle can now be set as well.
• You can now add all missing energy cards in the energy addon.
• Added 6 core cards to addons, area_card, markdown, tile, statistics_card, humidifier and shopping_list.
• Added new shortcuts to the profile menu
• Added visual aid in the profile menu (in the form of a progress bar) so that it's more clear that there are more shortcuts than just the 5.
• Numerous smaller bugfixes that didn't make this list (as in, not important enough to mention).

BREAKING CHANGES!

• The statistics addon has been renamed to statistics_graph, if you use this addon then you must rename it!

NOT A BREAKING CHANGE!

• The default HKI layout has changed from masonry to horizontal. This should solve the problem when refreshing the page it would render a desktop view in tablet mode. It does change the behaviour of card placement, however you can change it back per view to the masonry layout if desired.

Homekit Infused 5 (2022.5.1)

*September Hotfixes

Changes:

• Fixed a bug where layout would be messed up after updating to HKI 2022.5.0 and Browser-Mod 2.1.x (Actually Thomas Loven just released an update for his browser-mod addon as I was typing this changelog, it also fixes this issue however I'd still update both as HKI 2022.5.0 added a lot of unnecessary code).
• Popups can now be changed from the default fullscreen to normal or wide. These changes can only be made globally and will be set for all popups at once. You can find how to do that here. (Note that any other setting than fullscreen might look bad on a mobile phone!)
• You can now set a border radius for popups, note that this won't work for fullscreen popups. These changes can only be made globally and will be set for all popups at once. You can find how to do that here
• Scene buttons should now function properly, you no longer need to add a custom tap_action to them, you can still use a custom tap_action as before, but it will now default to the proper setting (scenes can only be turned on/activated, there is no turn_off command, prior to this version HKI would try to turn a scene off resulting in an error).
• Some unimportant bugfixes

Homekit Infused 5 (2022.5.0)

*September Update Fixes

Changes:

• Updated code to be compatible with Browser Mod 2.0
• Fixed a bug where you could not set a custom tap/hold/double_tap action on a notification (shown in the header)
• Removed the close button orientation
• Removed a few profile menu items, lovelace refresh is no longer possible from the profile menu (you can still use the footer clock to do a refresh)
• Popups now show in fullscreen (even on the desktop), this is because it will look bad on a phone otherwise (I'll try to work around it, but for now this should do fine).
• The profile menu is the only one that will not show in full screen, since the menu is pretty long by default it will look good on a phone, but will be much wider on a desktop, making the profile menu more suitable for desktop use without filling the entire screen. Let me know if you would prefer it to be fullscreen as well.
• Removed some obsolete files/code
• Small bugfixes
• No other changes other than this, sorry! I currently don't have time to work on new features, but as always I'll try to fix breaking changes asap, this was one of them!

BREAKING CHANGES: If you have created popups with the use of Browser-Mod, note that this HACS addon has completely been rewritten. You will need to check the browser_mod documentation to fix them for your own cards. If you only use the popups provided by HKI then nothing will really break, just make sure you update both HKI and Browser-Mod and make SURE you clear cache, this is IMPORTANT!
