What's Changed

Adds Bluetooth proxy support and a new "Timed" position mode, plus naming changes, since the initial release.

Changes

  • Added: Bluetooth proxy (esp32_ble_tracker + bluetooth_proxy), auto-discovered by Home Assistant, plus a live BT status line on every OLED page (Idle/Starting/Running/Stopping/Failed/Proxying)
  • Added: per-cover "Mode" select - "My" (original 3-state behavior, unchanged default) or "Timed" (continuous travel-time-based position estimate with live opening/closing status, auto-stops at an intermediate target since RTS has no absolute position command)
  • Added: per-cover "Travel Time Open"/"Travel Time Close" number entities for Timed mode, adjustable live from Home Assistant, persists across reboots
  • Changed: HA device now displays as "Somfy RTS Bridge" instead of the raw "somfy_rts_bridge" slug
  • Changed: device names now include the room again (e.g. "Bedroom Curtain") - relying on Home Assistant's own Area-to-entity_id auto-prefix feature turned out unreliable in practice

Upgrade Notes

  • Reflash via the ESPHome dashboard (OTA)
  • Entity IDs may change again due to the device naming change above - check any dashboards/automations referencing the old IDs
  • Existing "My" mode behavior is unchanged - no action needed unless you want to try "Timed" mode
