v2026.7.0-beta0

First consolidated release of Smart Irrigation, published as a beta for early testing before a stable release.

It brings the actively maintained line of work into Smart Irrigation while keeping the smart_irrigation domain and entities, so existing installations upgrade in place: your zones, sensor groups, modules and settings are carried over (covered by backward-compatibility tests). Because it is a big step, it ships as a beta first.

Highlights

• 🎛️ Rebuilt, Home Assistant native configuration UI: instant save on edit, native controls, one consolidated panel.
• 🌍 Fully translated in 19 languages (panel and config flow).
• 🌦️ Open-Meteo as a free, keyless default weather service. It provides solar radiation and FAO-56 reference ET directly, for a full Penman-Monteith calculation with no API key and no dedicated sensor. OpenWeatherMap and Pirate Weather reach the same accuracy through a transparent Open-Meteo fallback.
• 💾 One click Backup and Restore of the whole configuration.
• 🔁 Switch weather service and API key on the fly, without reinstalling.
• ⏰ Flexible irrigation start triggers (sunrise, sunset, solar azimuth), each firing its own identifiable event.

Fixes

• Weather service API key is preserved across restarts.
• Manual coordinates are saved and now persist across restarts.
• Dialogs repaired for Home Assistant 2026.3 and later.
• All frontend dependency vulnerabilities resolved.

Trying the beta

This is a pre-release. In HACS, enable "show beta versions" on Smart Irrigation to receive it. Feedback and issue reports are very welcome, especially from existing installations upgrading from an earlier version.
