v1.0.1 - Minor Fixes
Smart Comfort Climate v1.0.1 - Humidity Control Enhancement
🎯 Major improvement to humidity control with configurable targets!
Based on user feedback, this release adds the ability to set your preferred humidity level while maintaining the simple dashboard interface.
✨ New Features
🌊 Configurable Humidity Target
- Set your preferred humidity level during initial setup (30-70%, default 45%)
- Reconfigure anytime via Settings → Devices & Services → Smart Comfort Climate → Configure
- Humidity-first logic - system prioritizes dehumidification when above your target
- No more muggy air - works with your comfort preferences, not generic thresholds
⚙️ Enhanced Configuration
- Options flow support - modify targets without removing/re-adding integration
- Real-time updates - changes take effect immediately without restart
- Persistent settings - your preferences are remembered across restarts
📊 Improved Monitoring
- New attributes:
target_humidity,humidity_priority - Enhanced logging - shows actual vs target humidity in explanations
- Better status reporting - see when system is prioritizing humidity vs temperature
🔧 Improvements
Smart Logic Updates
- Priority 1: Humidity above target → Force dehumidification
- Priority 2: Extreme dew point conditions → Emergency response
- Priority 3: Temperature comfort → Only when humidity is good
- Clearer reasoning in logbook entries with humidity context
User Experience
- Dashboard stays simple - just feels-like temperature control
- Configuration complexity hidden - advanced settings in integration options
- Immediate feedback - see humidity priority status in real-time
Enhanced Translations
- Clear descriptions for all configuration options
- Helpful explanations for humidity vs feels-like temperature
- Better error messages and troubleshooting guidance
🎯 What This Solves
Before v1.0.1:
❌ Fixed dew point thresholds
❌ 67% humidity = "slightly humid"
❌ No user control over humidity preferences
❌ Muggy conditions even when "comfortable"
After v1.0.1:
✅ Your humidity target (e.g., 45%)
✅ System respects your preferences
✅ Aggressive dehumidification when needed
✅ True comfort based on your standards
