v0.8.18 - Template Compiler for Dependency Detection

Template Compiler for Dependency Detection

This release improves template dependency detection by using Home Assistant's built-in template compiler instead of regex parsing.

Key Changes

🔧 Template Compiler Integration

• Now uses Template.async_render_to_info() - the same method Developer Tools uses
• Applies to all template types: helpers, automations, scripts, and conditions
• More reliable for complex templates with multi-line syntax and nested structures

✨ Improved Coverage

• Template select entities (addresses #15)
• Template sensors, binary sensors, switches, buttons, numbers, text
• Automation/script template conditions
• Template shorthand conditions

🛡️ Reliability

• Handles all Jinja2 template syntax correctly
• Stays in sync with Home Assistant's template engine
• Graceful fallback to regex parsing if compilation fails

Benefits

This change makes template dependency detection significantly more reliable, especially for complex templates like the one shown in issue #15. The integration now uses the exact same method that Home Assistant's Developer Tools uses to show "Entities in template".

Installation

Install via HACS or manually:

1. Copy custom_components/ha_visualiser to your HA config directory
2. Restart Home Assistant
3. The integration will automatically update
