v0.1.26

Fixed - Cleaner snapshots and SPA navigation

• Remove UI chrome from snapshots — screenshots now capture just the bare <video> element instead of the .video-player container, which was including the HD button, PIP/fullscreen controls, camera name bar, and black letterboxing around the video.
• Fix SPA navigation — use alarm.com's data-testid nav link clicks instead of page.goto(), which broke the Ember SPA and caused session errors.

v0.1.25 — Fix SPA-breaking navigation

Fix: parking no longer destroys the Ember SPA

Root cause: page.goto() to /web/video or /web/dashboard does a full page load, which destroys the alarm.com Ember SPA. Those routes are client-side only — the server returns "Page Not Found".

Fix: Park and unpark now use SPA nav link clicks exclusively:

• Park: clicks the Home nav link to leave the video page
• Unpark: delegates to _navigate_to_live_view() which clicks the Video nav link

Both stay within the SPA, preserving the Ember router and session state.

v0.1.24 — Diagnostic logging for unpark navigation

Diagnostic logging for unpark navigation

Adds detailed logging to debug the camera navigation failure after unparking. Logs at every step: post-goto URL, page content state, SPA settling, video element search, and a full page state dump on failure (URL, title, body text, video element count, nav links, iframes).

v0.1.23 — Browser parking

Browser parking to reduce alarm.com load

The headless browser now parks on the alarm.com dashboard when not actively capturing, instead of sitting on the video page 24/7. This significantly reduces load on alarm.com's video infrastructure.

What's new

• Browser parking — navigates to the dashboard between captures to stop video streaming
• Manual burst capture (60s) — when a snapshot is triggered via HA service call or refresh button, captures at ~1fps for 60 seconds then parks. Additional requests during a burst extend the timer.
• Periodic burst capture (20s) — every 30 minutes (configurable), wakes up, captures snapshots for 20s across all cameras, then parks again.
• Default snapshot interval changed from 10 to 30 minutes

v0.1.21

Added - Snapshot refresh button on camera card

• ON_OFF feature flag — the camera entity now advertises turn-on/off
  support, which adds a refresh button to the HA camera card that
  triggers an on-demand snapshot capture

v0.1.20

Fixed - Camera entities not appearing

• Fix camera entity creation — the camera platform setup was blocking
  for up to 60s with a retry loop, causing HA to cancel the setup
  coroutine before periodic discovery was registered
• Fix deprecated HA timer API — use properly imported
  async_track_time_interval instead of deprecated hass.helpers.event
  proxy which silently failed in modern HA
• 30-second discovery polling — cameras are now discovered via a
  non-blocking 30s polling interval, so entities appear quickly even if
  the addon isn't ready at startup

v0.1.19

Added - Diagnostic entities and improved URL discovery

• Diagnostic sensor entities — the companion integration now creates
  diagnostic entities: Auth Status, Cameras Discovered, Addon Version,
  Addon Uptime, and Last Snapshot time
• Improved addon URL discovery — both config flow and runtime URL
  resolver now use HA's built-in get_addons_info/async_get_addon_info
  instead of raw HTTP calls to the Supervisor API

v0.1.18 — Camera snapshots + capture service

Added

• Auto-capture on first view — if no cached snapshot exists, the camera
  entity automatically triggers an on-demand capture so it always shows an
  image
• alarmdotcom_cameras.capture_snapshot service — trigger a fresh
  snapshot capture from automations, scripts, or Developer Tools
• Turn on button now triggers a snapshot capture from the camera card

v0.1.17 — Fix integration install + auto-discover addon URL

Fixed - HA companion integration

• Fix "Invalid handler specified" — update deprecated HA imports
  (FlowResult → ConfigFlowResult, remove is_hassio)
• Auto-discover addon URL via Supervisor API — works regardless of
  repo hash in the addon hostname
• Auto-resolve URL after reboots — if the addon's IP changes, the
  integration re-discovers it via Supervisor API automatically
• Bump companion integration manifest version so the install script
  actually copies updated files to HA
