v1.0.0

IP Ban Manager 1.0.0 is the first public release of the expanded integration. It keeps Home Assistant's native IP ban file and ban manager in charge, then adds the UI and safety rails that were missing: setup from the UI, live allowlist edits, live ban review/removal, automatic-ban controls, diagnostics, and scriptable services.

This is still intentionally marked as a HACK because Home Assistant does not expose a supported public API for every part of this workflow. The implementation keeps that internal touch point small, tested, and reversible on unload.

Highlights

  • Config flow setup with automatic YAML import for existing ban_allowlist configuration.
  • Polished UI setup shows automatic-ban controls and allowlist safe-default checkboxes for 127.0.0.1 and Home Assistant's detected local subnet.
  • Live Allowed IPs and Banned IPs management from the integration options, with safe defaults, inline guidance, and readable ban timestamps.
  • IPv4 wildcard shorthand for allowlisted networks, such as 192.168.1.*.
  • Immediate ban and allowlist updates without restarting Home Assistant.
  • Banned IP timestamp display as readable local times, with timestamps preserved when existing bans remain.
  • Atomic writes to Home Assistant's native ip_bans.yaml file.
  • Oldest-first ip_bans.yaml rewrites so new bans appear at the bottom.
  • Safety warnings that reject all-Internet allowlist entries, banning allowlisted IPs, typo removals, allowlist networks containing active bans, and unconfirmed clear-all ban service calls before anything is written.
  • Consistent live hook installation even when the integration starts with an empty allowlist, plus clean hook restoration when the integration is unloaded.
  • Services for adding, removing, and clearing IP bans and allowlist entries.
  • Diagnostic sensors for active bans, allowlisted networks, and failed-login sources.
  • Cleanup of stale Home Assistant ban/login persistent notifications when the matching IP is unbanned.
  • Integration icon, README screenshots, and updated HACS/repository metadata.

Notes

  • Visible integration name is now IP Ban Manager.
  • Documentation now clearly warns that this integration is a HACK because it wraps internal Home Assistant HTTP ban manager behavior.
  • Documentation and issue links now point to Wheemer/ip-ban-manager.

Compatibility

  • Existing ban_allowlist: YAML configuration is still imported.
  • Service IDs remain under ban_allowlist.* so Home Assistant service metadata continues to work with the integration domain.
