[2.0.0]

A major release consolidating everything since 1.4.1 into one stable
version. The headline change is Nodes: Access Points are no longer
the only thing that can hang off the bus - a Node can now be a plain
AP, a standalone Switch, or a Switch feeding one or more of its own
Access Points.

Added

  • Nodes: the Access Points menu is now Nodes. Each entry in
    the list can be:
    • A plain Access Point, exactly as before.
    • A standalone Switch, with its own icon, colors, offline
      detection, and an optional Connected Devices count.
    • A Switch feeding one or more Access Points, connected via its
      own small secondary bus-line - each AP underneath still gets full,
      independent configuration (bandwidth, backhaul, Connected Devices,
      colors).
    • Existing configs migrate automatically on load - every existing
      Access Point becomes its own Node with no visible change.
    • An AP can be flagged Primary regardless of which kind of Node
      it lives in, for the star badge and VPN/Firewall targeting. Tiered
      (promoted-above-the-bus) layout is only available when the Primary
      AP's Node is AP-only; if it's inside a Switch's group, the card
      silently renders as Flat instead of breaking the group apart.
    • The Node containing the Primary AP stands out in the Nodes list -
      icon shown in var(--accent-color), with "(Primary)" appended to
      its title.
  • Security page: the VPN menu is now Security, and sits
    alongside a new Firewall badge - its own entity, an "Applies To"
    target (Router or Primary AP), an Animate-when-Offline toggle, and
    full active/offline color and icon customization. Firewall's badge
    sits at the bottom-right of its host circle (VPN stays top-right), so
    both can be shown on the same node without overlapping.
  • Fully configurable Summary: choose any 3 items, in any order,
    from Download, Upload, Latency and Jitter, VPN Status, or Firewall
    Status (Advanced → Layout → Summary Item 1/2/3). Replaces the old
    fixed Download/Upload/Ping arrangement and separate per-badge
    "Show in Summary" toggles.
  • Global Flow Line Color (Advanced page): one color now controls
    every connection line and flow-dot animation on the card - Router,
    Switch (top-level and Node-level), LAN, Access Points, Individual
    Devices, and every Connected Devices connector - except the Internet
    connection, which remains independently configurable on the Internet
    page. The many separate per-node line-color pickers this replaced
    have been removed from the editor.
  • AP Column Gap slider (Advanced → Sizes) - controls the horizontal
    spacing between Node columns, so a large number of them can be
    packed tighter to fit on screen instead of stretching off it.
  • Backhaul Icon Size slider, and an Individual Devices Box
    Border Radius     setting (any CSS length or theme variable; defaults
    to var(--ha-card-border-radius, 12px)).
  • Uniform column widths: every Node column is now at least as wide
    as the largest AP, Switch, or Connected Devices circle actually used
    in that specific diagram, so a column with only a thin connector
    line never looks visibly narrower than its neighbors.

Changed

  • Unified badge sizing: Primary AP, VPN, and Firewall badges now
    share a single "Badge Size" / "Badge Icon Size" pair (Advanced →
    Sizes) instead of separate controls for each.
  • Unified Switch sizing: a Switch's own Connected Devices circle -
    whether the top-level Switch above the bus, or a Switch-only Node -
    now uses the same global AP Connected Devices size, rather than a
    separate, easy-to-miss setting.
  • Consistent solid lines out of every Switch: any connection
    coming out of a Switch - to its own Connected Devices circle, to a
    fed Access Point, or straight through to the Individual Devices box
    • always renders solid and un-animated, since it represents a wired
      connection rather than a live, animated metric.
  • Consistent AP lines: a plain Access Point's connecting line -
    including any pass-through segments where it has to bridge past an
    unrelated Switch elsewhere on the bus - shows dual download/upload
    strands or a single line based on that specific AP's own bandwidth
    configuration, and renders dashed when its backhaul is wireless, the
    whole way from the bus down to its own circle.
  • Primary AP's Individual Devices connector now follows the
    Primary's actual position in the Nodes list (e.g. 3rd node → 3rd
    column from the left) instead of a fixed position, so it can never
    land awkwardly next to - or inside - an unrelated multi-AP Switch
    group.

Fixed

Extensive alignment and rendering refinements across the bus structure
that came with introducing Nodes and Switches, including: the main
bus-line correctly stopping at each Node's actual center rather than
the outer edge of a multi-AP Switch group; a Switch feeding multiple
APs showing a properly connected mini bus-line and stem instead of an
unstyled block or a floating line; and connecting lines throughout the
bus correctly stretching to reach the circle below them instead of
leaving a gap when a shared row computes taller than expected.
