FMD Home Assistant Integration v1.0.0 — Stable Release
Date: 2025-11-06
🎉 Highlights
- First stable release of the FMD Home Assistant integration
- Upgraded core dependency to
fmd-api==2.0.3for improved reliability and performance - Maintains high test coverage (≥96%) across all entity platforms
- Production-ready photo/media handling (EXIF timestamps, duplicate prevention, retention)
- Robust async architecture with non-blocking crypto and file I/O
✅ What’s Included
- 20 entities per device: device_tracker, buttons, switches, selects, numbers, sensors
- High-frequency tracking mode with configurable intervals
- Location provider selection (All, GPS Only, Cell Only, Last Known)
- Photo capture (front/rear) and download with EXIF-based filenames
- Automatic photo cleanup (optional) using retention setting
- Safety-gated device wipe (2-step with auto-timeout)
- Persistent settings: entities restore state after HA restart
- Reauthentication flow support in config flow
🔧 Under the Hood
- API client powered by
fmd_api(v2.0.3) with async factory initialization - Executor-backed decryption and file writes to keep the event loop responsive
- Comprehensive error handling and logging throughout
- Type hints across the codebase; clear separation of concerns per platform
🧪 Quality
- Test coverage ≥96% (pytest + pytest-homeassistant-custom-component)
- CI on Python 3.11/3.12 with coverage reporting to Codecov
- Extensive unit tests for all entities, config flow, and integration lifecycle
🚀 Upgrade Instructions
- Update via HACS (or pull latest from GitHub) and restart Home Assistant
- No reconfiguration is required; existing entries migrate seamlessly
- Optional validation:
- Trigger a Location Update and confirm provider/timestamps
- Capture and Download a photo; verify it appears under Media → FMD →
📝 Notes for Automations
- Commands (Bluetooth, DND, Ringer) are fire-and-forget (no state feedback)
- Use the “Location Source” select to balance accuracy vs. battery
- Auto-cleanup only affects local HA media; it does not delete from the FMD server
🔒 Security & Privacy
- HTTPS strongly recommended for FMD server
- Photos are decrypted locally; stored in Home Assistant media directory
- Wipe command is safety-gated and logs warnings
📦 Dependency Changes
- Bumped
fmd-apito 2.0.3
📚 Documentation
