Release v0.5.0

What's Changed

SQLite storage

Inventory data is now stored in SQLite (aiosqlite) instead of JSON files. Existing data is automatically migrated from the legacy JSON store on first load — no action required. The new dependency aiosqlite==0.22.1 is declared in manifest.json.

WebSocket API

A full WebSocket API enables real-time communication with frontend dashboards. Supported commands include listing/getting items, history queries, import/export, barcode operations, and consumption rates.

Consumption tracking & analytics

• Every quantity change is recorded in a consumption_history table
• New service get_item_consumption_rates returns daily/weekly usage rates, days until depletion, average restock interval, and spend rates
• New HA events: simple_inventory_item_depleted, simple_inventory_item_restocked, simple_inventory_item_quantity_changed, simple_inventory_item_added, simple_inventory_item_removed

Barcode scanning

• New scan_barcode service and WebSocket command — scan a barcode to automatically increment, decrement, or look up the matched item across all inventories
• New lookup_by_barcode and lookup_barcode_product services
• Items now have an optional price field recorded on history events and rolled up into inventory statistics (total_value)

Multiple barcode lookup providers

Product lookups now query multiple databases in parallel: Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, and Open Pet Food Facts. Provider preference is configurable.

Bug fixes

• Fixed item deletion failing in some cases
• Fixed regression in quantity handling
• Fixed decrement via barcode not resolving the correct item
