Input Select improvements
ad‑Lightwand – Version 2.0.5
Release date: 2026‑01‑17
What’s new
| Area | Change |
|---|---|
| Input selector | Added a short delay before initializing (#38) to avoid race‑conditions.Updated input_selector after a mode change with delay to keep the UI in sync.Removed the “reset” mode – Reset should only be triggered by a button or similar. |
| Configuration | Added selector_input_exclude_modes – a list of mode names that should be ignored when Lightwand populates modes in selector input`. |
| Bug fixes | Fixed Presence detection Fixed startup with no json file – the light mode is no longer set to away when there is no persistence file or no presence detection available. Fixed the reset behavior when a media player is active ( #44). |
| Documentation | README updated to reflect the new features and changes (#37). |

Quick note for users
If you’re using the enable_light_control selector, you can now reverse its state by setting the selector_input_exclude_modes option. The input selector will also be more robust after mode switches thanks to the new initialization delay.
Happy automating!
