0.1.2

This release makes exclusions easier to manage, expands static has_value detection, and adds complete bilingual documentation.

Easier exclusions and settings

  • Searchable exact ignore list: Existing and currently missing entity IDs can be selected from suggestions or entered freely. Wildcards remain intentionally unsupported.
  • Optional helper label: One existing Home Assistant label can exclude complete UI-created Template Helpers from the active findings. The label is evaluated directly on the helper entity; device and area labels are not inherited.
  • Transparent ignored findings: The sensor and diagnostics expose the selected label, ignored helper sources, and ignored_matches instead of silently hiding them.
  • Native notification toggle: Persistent notifications now use Home Assistant's normal on/off selector.
  • Existing exact ignore values remain compatible and continue to work alongside label-based exclusions.

Expanded template analysis

Static entity IDs are now detected in all supported has_value forms:

{{ has_value('sensor.example') }}
{{ 'sensor.example' | has_value }}
{{ 'sensor.example' is has_value }}

Dynamic expressions are still never guessed or executed. Templates are parsed only and are never rendered, changed, or repaired.

Result behavior

  • Scans remain serialized and never run in parallel.
  • Notifications are updated only when the active structured missing findings change.
  • The template_entity_checker_result_changed event follows the same active-finding comparison after the first complete scan establishes its baseline.
  • Exclusively ignored findings do not create a persistent notification.

Documentation

Complete German and English documentation is now available at:

https://dajwitt.github.io/template-entity-checker/

The Markdown sources live in the repository. GitHub Actions rebuilds and verifies the generated site and deploys it from main with least-privilege permissions.

Updating

  • Minimum supported and verified Home Assistant version: 2026.7.3.
  • No manual configuration migration is required.
  • Update through HACS and restart Home Assistant.

Template Entity Checker continues to scan UI-created Template Helpers only. Templates from YAML files, packages, automations, scripts, dashboards, scenes, and blueprints are outside its scope.
