• opt the integration out of some recent init changes #1871

https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/03/09/import_executor_default

Change was introduced in 2024.4, but it seems it caused instability which caused the HA developers to double down and cause integrations to fail in 2024.5 rather than back out the unstable change.

Fixes an issue where HA 2024.5 stops the integration from receiving updates unless devices are polled.

Improvements to existing devices

• many climate, water_heater devices: define temperature units #1855
• Yagusmart/Zemismart energy meter: make breaker id optional #1858

General improvements

• migration: use async_update_entry to avoid deprecation warnings #1854
• receive threads: schedule updates instead of calling async_ha_write_state directly #1869

Breaking changes

• climate: aux_heat support has been removed, as HA started issuing deprecation warnings. Only 3 devices used this, and have had alternative switches since HA removed aux_heat from the UI some time ago. #1784
• humidifiers: remove deprecated separate humidity sensors (replaced by humidifier current_humidity attribute)
• ZX G30: remove separate buttons (replaced by alarm_control_panel)
• Some entity names were standardised for translation #1708. The following could not be handled by migrations:
  • light uv_sterilization: converted to switch
  • switch indicator, backlight, display: converted to light
  • light led: renamed to indicator or default, depending on usage
  • Loycco sound nightlight: unnamed light renamed to nightlight

Fixes an issue with migration of "tank" binary sensors to either tank_full or tank_empty as appropriate in 2024.3.0

Highlights

• More reliable logging when adding new devices
• More translated entity names
• Icon translations

Breaking changes

• HA 2024.2 is now required #1579, #1597
• some entity names have been commonized to take advantage of name and icon translations. Migrations take care of most of these, but if you have yaml defined automations, you may need to update these manually. The following changes could not be migrated and will require manual cleanup of the old entities, and updating of any references in the UI, automations etc:
  • ETOP FCU child lock was changed from a switch to a lock
  • Holman WX1 and WX2 changed some number entities for "Time left" to sensor entities renamed as "Time remaining"
  • Proscenic M9 error message sensor was changed to a problem binary sensor
  • Rotenso Ronix and Stadler Form Roger unnamed sensor given the correct pm 2.5 class, so ids will change accordingly.
  • Shinco 30D fault code sensor was removed, the info was added as an attribute to the problem binary sensor.
  • Vacplus fault sensor replaced with problem and tank_full binary sensors
  • Garza irrigation alarm binary sensor renamed to the standard problem. Although the entity type was unchanged, due to other devices using "alarm" binary sensors for actual alarms, it was not possible to easily migrate this change.

New devices

• Tongou ST463JWT circuit breaker meter #1667
• Curtains with feedback (same as QS C01, but accurately report current position) #1681
• Madimack Elite V3 heatpump (new incompatible version) #1691

• SGS01 BLE soil moisture sensor #1696
• SNT957W-DE CBU temperature/humidity sensor #1702
• SNT957W-TDE temperature sensor #1699
• LightStar track light #1700
• BHT-002 GBLW thermostat #1684

Improvements to existing devices

• ZX G30 alarm: added more entities #1673
• Tongou QCB2: expose online state as a switch rather than sensor, so it can be used to trigger more frequent sensor updates #1483
• Beca BHT-002 improve compatibility by making mode optional #950
• Hydrotherm Dynamic X8: use inlet as current temperature #1686

General improvements

• config: DPS are always logged when the device selection dialog is shown, previously they were only shown if there was no 100% match #1667
• climate: add reporting of TURN_ON and TURN_OFF to supported features #1597
• init: network exceptions are now caught and rethrown as ConfigEntryNotReady so HA retries setup later #1683
• unique_id now uses translation_key if both name and class are missing to facilitate wider use of translated names #1579
• HA 2024.2 icon translations are supported #1579 The following entity types were updated to use icon and name translations:
  • Child locks
  • Number and select Timer entities (some previously labelled countdown)
  • Problem binary sensors (previously labeled fault, error or others)
  • Temperature unit selects (some previously named differently)
  • Defrost binary sensors (some previously named anti-frost etc)
  • Anti-frost switches (some previously named defrost etc)
  • Tank full binary sensors (previously named just tank, or other variations)
  • Tank empty binary sensors (previously named just tank, or other variations)
• Translated names work again (was broken in 2023.11 by HA removing a deprecation warning in a way that changed the name handling)
• config: description for name step removed obsolete mention of selecting entities
• Japanese translations added

Development improvements

• CI: updated github actions to use nodejs 20 versions
• tinytuya library bumped to 1.13.2
• icon has been documented as deprecated, try to use icons.json and translation_key instead #1579
• new translation_only_key added to handle cases where we want the unique_id to ignore translation_key (mainly to keep backward compatibility) #1579
• a schema based test was added to YAML configs, to detect difficult to spot errors such as out of place keys, misspelled keys etc
• Python formatting changed to satisfy ruff 2024 stable update
• CI: add a new YAML-only test job, and make the full test only run when there are python changes

Breaking changes

• Home Assistant 2024.1 or later is now required #1444
• Light brightness now uses the full range in Home Assistant even when the range in Tuya is limited, this can lead to big differences for a given brightness value, especially toward the lower end of the scale for bulbs only supporting dimming down to 10%. #1444
• Both fan speed and light brightness can have small discrepencies in reported values due to the scaling change. #1444
• Support for Tadiran air conditioners has been removed. The company manufacturing these devices was spun out from an Israeli Military contractor and still maintains connections at board level. If you are using one of these devices you may wish to avoid upgrading until you find a more ethically sourced replacement.

I acknowledge that some users may be upset by this decision, but the decision is final so it will not help to argue against it. In particular abusive comments in discussions will not be tolerated.
