TimeFlow Card v2.0.1 Release Notes

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed Timezone Parsing for Home Assistant isoformat() Dates

Issue: TimeFlow Card couldn't properly handle ISO dates with timezone information from Home Assistant's device_class: timestamp entities and Jinja2 isoformat() function.

Problem:

• Dates like 2025-07-22T14:09:00+00:00 were incorrectly parsed
• Timezone information (+00:00, -05:00, Z) was stripped away
• This broke Home Assistant templates using {{ now().isoformat() }}
• Users had to create workarounds with strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')

Solution:

• ✅ Smart timezone detection using regex pattern /[+-]\d{2}:\d{2}$|Z$/
• ✅ Native Date parsing for ISO strings with timezone info to preserve timezone
• ✅ Backward compatibility with timezone-less formats using manual parsing
• ✅ Cross-platform consistency maintained for all date formats

Supported Formats:

# Now all of these work perfectly:
target_date: "2025-07-22T14:09:00+00:00"  # UTC with timezone
target_date: "2025-07-22T14:09:00-05:00"  # EST with timezone  
target_date: "2025-07-22T14:09:00Z"       # UTC shorthand
target_date: "2025-07-22T14:09:00"        # Local time (existing format)

# Home Assistant templates now work directly:
target_date: "{{ (now() + timedelta(hours=2)).isoformat() }}"
target_date: "{{ states('sensor.completion_time') }}"  # device_class: timestamp

Impact:

• 🎉 No more workarounds needed for device_class: timestamp entities
• 🎉 Full compatibility with Home Assistant's native date/time handling
• 🎉 Improved accuracy for users across different timezones
