Velair 1.5.0

Velair is now available directly from the default HACS store πŸŽ‰

This is an important milestone for the project and makes installation easier for
the Home Assistant community. Velair 1.5.0 also expands language support,
clarifies how Profiles and Modes work, refines the active setup chooser, and
refreshes the project branding.

✨ Added

  • Added complete German, French, and Dutch translations for the Velair panel,
    optional Lovelace card, Home Assistant setup, entities, and states.
  • Added regional language fallback and localized date and time formatting.

πŸš€ Improved

  • Updated installation guidance now that Velair is available directly from the
    default HACS store without adding a custom repository.
  • Updated the Velair logo assets with dedicated standard and high-resolution
    versions for clearer rendering.
  • Clarified how Profiles and Modes work together. Direct Profile activation
    replaces the active set, and zones no longer covered immediately return to
    their Default schedules. Use a Mode to activate several non-overlapping
    Profiles together.
  • Made Manual a display-only state in Velair's chooser. Direct Profile
    activation enters this state, while selecting Default or a custom Mode leaves
    it. The native Home Assistant selector retains Manual for compatibility;
    selecting it keeps the active Profiles and only detaches them from their
    custom Mode.

πŸ› οΈ Fixed

  • Fixed a Chrome tab crash that could occur when clicking explanatory text in
    the Mode and Profile chooser.

🧭 Notes

  • Update through HACS when possible, restart Home Assistant, and refresh the
    browser or companion app after installing the release.
  • When using the optional Lovelace cards, confirm that
    /velair_frontend/velair-card.js is registered as a JavaScript module. See
    the troubleshooting guide if a card shows a configuration error.
