v0.3.0

What's New

Calendar naming and unified calendar

• Custom calendar name — each area config entry can now set a custom name for its calendar entity.
• Unified calendar mode — toggle per area to merge tasks into a single shared calendar instead of separate per-area calendars.

Task descriptions in Lovelace cards

• Tasks with descriptions now show a clickable info icon (ℹ) that expands inline instructions/notes directly in the task card.
• Works in both task-card and task-single-card.

Automation blueprints (auto-installed)

Three blueprints are automatically installed on integration setup:

• Notify when overdue — sends a notification when any task becomes overdue (optional area filter).
• Notify next assignee — notifies the next person in rotation after a task is completed.
• Daily digest — daily summary of all overdue and due-today tasks at a configurable time.

Blueprints appear in Settings → Automations → Blueprints after setup. They are never overwritten on updates, preserving any user edits.

v0.2.1 — User Filtering & Reconfigure Fixes

Bug Fixes

• Stale device on reconfigure — renaming a task or changing a maintenance device no longer leaves the old device behind; the device registry is cleared before reload
• Custom success message — reconfiguring a task/maintenance subentry now shows a proper completion message instead of a generic HA fallback

New Features

• User filtering on task card — new "Filter by user" option in the card editor:
  • My Turn — show only tasks where you are the current assignee
  • In Rotation — show tasks where you are in the assignees list or current assignee
  • Specific person — filter by any person entity

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.2.1
