0.4.11

🔋 Release v0.4.11 — Module Aggregation & Enhanced Options

This release brings module-based aggregation, extended configuration control, and improved device handling for the BYD HVS/HMS/LVS Home Assistant integration.

🚀 New Features

• 🧩 Module Aggregation

  • Introduces an optional Aggregate Modules mode.
  • Each BYD module is now represented as one entity instead of multiple per-cell entities.
  • The entity’s main value is the total module voltage (sum of all cell voltages in mV).
  • Each entity also provides detailed attributes:
    • cell_voltages, cell_temperatures
    • max_voltage, min_voltage, avg_voltage
    • max_temperature, min_temperature, avg_temperature
  • Reduces the total number of entities while keeping diagnostic details.

• 🏗️ Tower Visibility Control

  • Added new Show Towers option to toggle tower-level diagnostic entities.

• 🔧 Unified Device Information

  • All entities (towers, modules, cells) are now properly linked to the same BYD Battery device in Home Assistant.
