Integration

v2.27.0 — 2026-06-08

• Minimize movements — opt-in sun tracking that snaps to a few fixed coverage levels instead of following the sun continuously, cutting motor movements while never letting in more direct sun. → Sun Tracking
• Sun-state classification — the decision_trace sensor (and downloaded diagnostics) now expose a one-word sun_state — hitting, in_fov_not_valid, or outside_fov — so dashboards and automations can read at a glance why solar tracking is or isn't engaging. → Diagnostic Sensors
• Forecast matches runtime — the position forecast now runs through the same position primitives as the live pipeline, so its samples honour min/max limits, the 1% floor, rounding, and minimize-movements quantization exactly as the cover will. → Diagnostic Sensors

v2.26.0 — 2026-06-07

• Oscillating (drop-arm) awning cover type — a new cover type with arm-sweep geometry, appearing automatically in the cover-type picker. → Oscillating Awning
• Schedule window exposed — schedule_start and schedule_end are now published as attributes on the control-status sensor, so the active automation window is visible to dashboards and automations. → Diagnostic Sensors

v2.25.1 — 2026-06-03

• Venetian tilt-only custom positions — a custom-position slot can adjust just the slat tilt and leave the carriage position under pipeline control. → Custom Position

v2.25.0 — 2026-06-02

• Configurable position-match tolerance — set how close a cover's reported position must be to its target before it counts as "matched", silencing redundant commands from covers that report slightly off. → Position
• Full-day position forecast — the forecast sensor now spans the whole calendar day (00:00 → 24:00) on a midnight-aligned axis, so the companion card's forecast strip lines up cleanly. → Diagnostic Sensors

v2.23.0 — 2026-05-26

• Position forecast sensor — a new diagnostic sensor projecting today's solar-tracked position forward, consumed by the companion card. → Diagnostic Sensors
• adaptive_cover_pro.stop service — stop a cover through the ACP stack so the stop is ACP-stamped instead of read as a manual override. → Runtime Configuration Services
• manual_ignore_external option — limit manual-override detection to ACP-issued commands so RF remotes and external automations don't pause control. → Automation
• Custom-position slot enable/disable — silence a configured custom-position slot with a per-slot toggle without losing its settings. → Custom Position
• My-preset entities gated by a toggle — the Somfy "My" button and number entities are now opt-in via a config toggle (existing entries are migrated automatically). → My Position Support (Somfy RTS)
• Home Assistant unit system in the UI — geometry config displays in your configured unit system and sensors carry unit attributes. → v2.23.0 release notes

v2.22.0 — 2026-05-22

• My Position (Somfy "My") button + number entities — a pipeline-aware button to send the motor's programmed "My" preset, plus a runtime-configurable number for its value. → My Position Support (Somfy RTS)
• Custom sunrise/sunset time entities — supply seasonally-adjusted sunrise/sunset boundaries from your own entities (e.g. Sun2). → Sun Tracking

v2.21.0 — 2026-05-17

• Configurable venetian post-settle hold — the delay between carriage settle and tilt dispatch is now a setting (0–10 s) instead of a hard-coded constant, for actuators with slow tilt re-assert. → Tilt
• adaptive_cover_pro.set_position service — move a cover to a position while respecting custom-position minimum-mode floors (use this instead of cover.set_cover_position). → Runtime Configuration Services

Companion Card

The companion Lovelace card ships separately with its own release cycle.

v2.5.0 — 2026-06-08

• Three-state sun dot — the compass and elevation-chart sun dot reads warm by day and grey at night: gold (with a glow when actively hitting, flat when in-FOV-not-valid), light yellow when above the horizon but outside every FOV, and dim grey below the horizon — reading the integration's decision_trace.sun_state with a graceful fallback on older builds. → Sky Compass Card
• Sections layout sizing — all three cards advertise grid options so the Home Assistant Sections view sizes and resizes them correctly. → Dashboard Cards
• Narrow-column tile reflow — the tile card measures its own width and drops the controls onto their own row in narrow Sections columns instead of truncating. → Tile Card
• Cover-bar / compass color match — cover-bar fill colors now align with the sky-compass palette, and the compass override wedge matches the window color. → Dashboard Cards

v2.4.0 — 2026-06-07

• Actual-vs-target cover wedge — the sky compass draws a second wedge showing the gap between where a cover is commanded and where it physically sits. → Sky Compass Card
• Multi-window FOV ribbon — each window contributes its own stacked field-of-view row inside the elevation chart grid. → Sky Compass Card
• Schedule window across all cards — the automation schedule window is shaded on the elevation chart and shown as an off-schedule badge on the decision strip and tile card. → Dashboard Cards

v2.3.0 — 2026-06-02

• Live card-picker previews — all three cards now render a live preview in the Lovelace card picker using a real config entry from your install. → Dashboard Cards

v2.2.0 — 2026-05-31

• Sun Today elevation chart — a 24-hour sun-elevation curve clipped to the window's FOV and elevation limits, on both the sky compass and the tile more-info dialog. → Sky Compass Card

v2.1.0 — 2026-05-31

• Tile badge overhaul — the contextual badge moves inline onto the state row, the Resume action folds into a tappable badge, a "Cloudy" cloud-suppression badge is added, and every badge kind becomes individually toggleable (grouped in the editor). → Tile Card

v2.0.0 — 2026-05-26

• Tile card — a new compact single-row card: icon, name, position, ↑■↓ controls, a contextual badge, and an inline Resume button. → Tile Card
• ACP more-info dialog — a card-rendered dialog with the plain-English decision sentence, target position, per-cover bars, forecast strip, control toggles, and a collapsible advanced section. → Panel Card
• Forecast strip — a hand-drawn SVG strip plotting today's projected position with hover snapping and sunrise/sunset/FOV event markers. → Panel Card
• Full localization (EN/FR) — every card surface routes through a translation layer, with the locale read from Home Assistant. → v2.0.0 release notes

v1.7.0 — 2026-04-30

• FOV wedge respects elevation limits — when min_elevation/max_elevation are set, the sky-compass wedge becomes an annular sector instead of a full pie slice. → Sky Compass Card

v1.6.0 — 2026-04-29

• Sky Compass legend toggle — click a legend row to hide or show that cover's overlays (session-only). → Sky Compass Card

v1.5.0 — 2026-04-24

• Configurable north offset — rotate the entire compass (sun, wedges, labels) with a north_offset setting while readouts stay in true degrees. → Sky Compass Card
• Per-cover color overrides — give each cover an explicit color on the standalone sky compass, merged over the auto-assigned palette. → Sky Compass Card

v1.4.0 — 2026-04-23

• Sky Compass card — a new standalone card overlaying multiple windows' FOV, blind spot, and cover position on a shared sun compass. → Sky Compass Card
