PaketHub v2.3.4
Improvements
Dynamic shipment removal without integration reload
Deleted shipments are now removed dynamically from Home Assistant.
PaketHub no longer reloads the complete integration after deleting a shipment. The associated shipment entities are removed immediately after the coordinator receives the updated shipment list.
This results in:
- Faster shipment deletion
- No temporary interruption of PaketHub entities
- No complete integration reload
- Immediate removal of deleted shipment entities and devices
Automatic orphan cleanup
PaketHub now automatically checks the Home Assistant Entity Registry and Device Registry after updates.
Entities and devices belonging to shipments that are no longer returned by PaketHub are removed automatically.
This also cleans up stale entries that may have remained after:
- Earlier PaketHub versions
- Interrupted deletion operations
- Home Assistant restores
- Inconsistent registry states
Technical changes
- Added dynamic removal of shipment entities
- Added automatic cleanup of orphaned shipment devices and entities
- Removed the integration reload after shipment deletion
- Extended manual refresh to include registry cleanup
- Updated the integration version to
2.3.4
PaketHub v2.3.3
PaketHub v2.3.3
🐞 Bug Fixes
Proper cleanup after deleting shipments
Deleting a shipment from the PaketHub dashboard now completely removes it from Home Assistant.
Previously, the shipment disappeared from PaketHub, but the corresponding device and all associated entities remained in Home Assistant as unavailable entities.
This release now:
- Removes all entities belonging to the deleted shipment
- Removes the corresponding device from the Home Assistant Device Registry
- Reloads the integration automatically after deletion to prevent orphaned entities
This keeps Home Assistant clean and ensures deleted shipments are removed completely.
