Release Notes for Version 1.3.0

New Features

  • Sensor Platform Support: Added a new sensor platform to provide detailed weather data, such as:

    • Temperature, humidity, and pressure.
    • Wind speed, wind gusts, and wind direction.
    • Precipitation, snowfall, and cloud coverage.
    • Visibility, dew point, pressure tendency.
  • Device Grouping: The integration is now divided into two main components:

    • ARSO Weather Station: Provides current weather data and forecasts (1-hour, 3-hour, daily, and twice-daily).
    • ARSO Weather Sensors: Groups sensors for current weather, including:
      • Temperature
      • Humidity
      • Pressure
      • Wind Speed
      • Wind Gust Speed
      • Wind Bearing
      • Precipitation
      • Snowfall
      • Cloud Coverage
      • Dew Point (limited to most weather stations and current weather)
      • Visibility (limited to most weather stations and current weather)

Improvements

  • Enhanced Forecast Accuracy:
    • Implemented support for 1-hour and 3-hour forecasts, providing more granular weather data.
    • Improved logging and error handling for weather forecasts.
  • Expanded Condition Mapping:
    • Added new weather condition mappings, including support for mixed rain/snow, thunderstorms, and varying cloud states.
  • Config Flow Enhancements:
    • Improved location selection process with better validation.
    • Enhanced error handling for location fetching.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed missing attributes for wind gusts and visibility.
  • Resolved issues with incorrect or missing condition mapping in certain scenarios.

Breaking Changes

  • The unique_id format for entities has been updated. Existing entities may require reconfiguration in automations or dashboards.
  • With the update to version 1.3.0, users upgrading from an earlier version may experience issues with the weather service or incorrect data display. To resolve this, it is recommended to delete existing locations and reconfigure them by selecting and adding them again.
  • Testing has shown that if a user previously installed version 1.2.2 or older, upgrading to version 1.3.0 may cause a new integration to appear with a brand-new icon. To avoid duplicate integrations, simply remove the location from the old integration and set it up again using the new version.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your understanding!
