v0.3.6

What's new

• The ignore-entity selector now searches the complete Home Assistant entity inventory from both the state machine and the entity registry.
• Registered entities without a current state are available for selection.
• Multiple selection and exact custom entity-ID input remain available, including for deleted entities.
• Notification settings now use Home Assistant's native switch selector.
• Existing text-based ignore values are migrated automatically.

Documentation

• Added a complete bilingual German and English documentation site with 14 pages per language.
• Markdown remains the source of truth and the generated GitHub Pages site is validated deterministically.
• GitHub Pages deployments are restricted to pushes on main; pull requests and manual checks cannot deploy.

Validation

• 87 tests passed with 95.87% coverage.
• Ruff, Hassfest, HACS validation, documentation validation, Gitleaks, and live Home Assistant acceptance passed.

v0.3.5

Fixes a blind spot where an invalid entity reference could contain an accidental extra dot-separated suffix and be skipped entirely.

• Malformed entity detection

  • Direct dashboard values and rendered Decluttering Card variables are now checked for complete malformed references such as binary_sensor.example_window.example_door.
  • The checker reports the complete invalid value instead of accepting or hiding the valid-looking prefix.

• What to expect after updating

  • Existing malformed references of this form may now appear as new missing entities. These are pre-existing dashboard errors revealed by the improved check.
  • Restart Home Assistant after installing the update, then run dashboard_entity_checker.scan_now or wait for the next scheduled scan.

• Scope

  • Valid entity references and JavaScript object properties keep their existing behavior. Fully dynamic entity IDs remain outside the supported scope.

Verified with 84 automated tests, 96% coverage, Ruff, Hassfest, HACS validation and JSON checks.

v0.3.2 - Compact grouped notifications

Changes

• Group persistent-notification results by dashboard and view
• Show a clear unique-entity and affected-view summary
• Limit each view preview to eight entity IDs and show the remaining count
• Keep the complete unabridged result in the missing_entities sensor attribute
• Localize notification title, summary, footer and truncation text for German and English Home Assistant installations
• Preserve the fixed notification ID, update suppression and clean-scan dismissal behavior

Validation

• 43 tests passed
• Compileall passed
• Hassfest passed
• HACS validation passed
• GitHub Tests and Validate workflows passed

v0.3.1 — Clear ignore list fix

Fixes the Options Flow so the ignored entity-ID field is optional and can be cleared completely after values were configured.

The previous value remains visible as a suggested value, while submitting an empty field now persists an empty ignore list.

Validation: 42 tests, compileall, hassfest, HACS validation, and both GitHub workflows passed.

v0.3.0 — Ignore list and result events

Adds an exact entity-ID ignore list to Config Flow and Options Flow. Ignored missing references remain visible under diagnostic ignored_matches but no longer affect sensor state or persistent notifications.

Complete result changes after the baseline scan now fire dashboard_entity_checker_result_changed with previous/current counts, added/removed IDs, full locations, dashboards, and scan time.

Validation: 41 tests, live read-only dashboard precheck, hassfest, HACS validation, and both GitHub workflows passed.

v0.1.8 — HA 2026.7 Options Flow fix

Fixes the Options Flow crash on Home Assistant 2026.7 (config_entry is now injected by Home Assistant and no longer assigned), and makes cleanup of the one-time startup listener idempotent.

Validation: 35 tests, hassfest, HACS validation, and both GitHub workflows passed.

v0.1.7 — Phase 7 multiple dashboards

Phase 7 adds multi-dashboard selection in Config Flow and Options Flow, migrates existing single-dashboard installations, aggregates one missing entity across dashboard → view locations, and reports partial dashboard load failures without discarding successful scan results.

Validation: 34 tests, hassfest, HACS validation, and GitHub Actions all passed.

v0.1.6 — Phase 6 automatic scans

Phase 6 delays the first scan until Home Assistant has fully started, then enables the configured periodic interval. Manual and scheduled refreshes are serialized, unchanged missing-entity results do not rewrite the persistent notification, and dashboard loading failures are exposed through sensor and downloadable diagnostics. The sensor now reports scan_interval_minutes. Options retain previously saved values. Includes explicit ConfigEntry wiring for Home Assistant 2026.8 compatibility and 26 passing tests.
