Exaviz PoE Management v1.2.0

First release since v1.1.4. Adds switch/bridge-mode device discovery, a
diagnostics hint for ports on another subnet, and completes the move to a
pure MIT license.

New features

  • Switch-mode PoE device discovery (#10, opt-in). When a Cruiser is run
    as a flat-L2 switch (all ports bridged onto one router-DHCP subnet), the
    integration can now resolve the device attached to each PoE port. It reads
    the bridge forwarding database (FDB) to map each port to a MAC, then runs an
    arp-scan of the bridge subnet to attach an IP. Off by default; enable it
    per integration under Configure -> Switch-mode device discovery.
    Note: when enabled it performs an active arp-scan on the bridge subnet.

Improvements

  • Traffic-but-no-ARP hint (#1). When a PoE port shows traffic but the
    device has no ARP entry (typically because it sits on a different subnet
    than Home Assistant, e.g. in switch/bridge mode), the UI now surfaces a
    hint instead of appearing to find nothing.

Licensing

  • Relicensed to pure MIT. The Commons Clause rider has been dropped from
    every file, restoring standard MIT terms. This also clears the HACS/HA brands
    validation that the rider was blocking.

Housekeeping

  • Documentation correction for the sudo-rs wildcard note in the switch-mode
    discovery setup (#12).
  • Routine dependency bumps for the Lovelace card build toolchain.

Upgrading via HACS

Open HACS -> Integrations -> Exaviz PoE Management -> Update, then restart
Home Assistant. Switch-mode discovery stays off until you enable it under
the integration's Configure options.
