0.7.0¶

✨ Enhancements¶

Power monitored appliances can now have a minimum time to run, as well as wattage, to trigger start of a cycle
Action buttons now to acknowledge end of a cycle or ask for reminder later, e.g. to empty the washing machine

An appliance that is ready for a moment and then running again, as an oven is when it starts or has its settings changed, is the same cycle rather than one finished and another started. One left ready is finished after 10 seconds
The start and end notifications are no longer dropped by Supernotify as repeats when a cycle follows soon after another, which left the second cycle with no Live Activity
An oven switched off before it's up to heat is no longer told of as pre-heated, Home Connect reporting pre-heating finished as it goes off

Package naming consistency and auto build

Notify start and Notify end switches in the settings of each appliance, both on by default. With either off, the Live Activity is still opened and closed, silently and on phones only
Notify phases switch in the settings of an oven, on by default, for the notification that it's up to heat
The icon follows the type of Home Connect appliance, whatever it has been named, and is on the end notification as well as the Live Activity
The program an appliance is set to is used where it reports none under way, as an oven does
An oven warming up, on any program, has a progress bar of its temperature against the one it's set to, with "Pre-heating" or "Fast pre-heat" and both temperatures as the message. Once up to heat "Oven is pre-heated" is sent as a notification of its own, the Live Activity goes on to the program and temperature, such as "Pizza setting, 200°C", and it isn't taken to be warming up again until it has been off

Preparation for HACS release

Progress bar updated every 2% for the last 10% of the cycle
Live Activity updates have the program under way as their message, where the appliance reports one
Dashboard to open in the settings of each appliance, chosen from the dashboards in Home Assistant, for a tap on a notification or the Live Activity

Notify progress switch in the settings of each appliance, above the sections and off by default, to be sent a notification every 10% of the cycle. The Live Activity is silently updated either way

Simpler install: one screen with a switch for automatic discovery, on by default, which sets up every appliance found now and later with no settings to fill in
Automatic discovery is listed on the integration's page with the appliances, where the switch can be changed
With automatic discovery off, a discovered appliance is added with a single confirmation
A power monitored appliance is added with one form, from Add service
Settings are in three closed sections: start message, end message and notification targets
Titles and messages are shown as they'll be sent, "Dishwasher started", with no {name} template
Without Supernotify, targets are optional, defaulting to every phone with the Home Assistant app

Progress bar updated as soon after creation as possible, when the appliance first reports it
