v0.8.13: Config Flow Enabled - Major Setup Fix

🎛️ Config Flow Enabled - Major Setup Fix

This release addresses the root cause of Issue #11 where the sidebar panel wasn't appearing for most users after installation.

🔧 What Was Wrong

• The integration had "config_flow": false in manifest.json
• Home Assistant never called our initialization code for users without YAML configuration
• The panel registration never happened because the entire integration wasn't being initialized

✅ What's Fixed

• Config Flow Enabled: You can now add the integration via Settings → Integrations → Add Integration → Entity Visualizer
• User-Friendly Setup: Rich description explains what you get and how to use it
• Reliable Initialization: Standard Home Assistant integration pattern ensures consistent setup
• Backward Compatible: Existing YAML configurations still work

🎯 How to Install/Update

For New Users:

1. Install via HACS (will get v0.8.13 automatically)
2. Go to Settings → Integrations → Add Integration
3. Search for "Entity Visualizer"
4. Click "Configure" and follow the simple setup
5. Look for "Entity Visualizer" in your sidebar!

For Existing Users with Issues:

1. Update to v0.8.13 via HACS
