v1.4.2

New: Screen Off Behavior Select Entity

New select entity (select.dashie_screen_off_behavior) lets you control how the tablet turns off its screen, directly from Home Assistant:

  • Black Overlay — screen shows black but app stays active. Fast wake, WebSocket connections stay alive. Best for daytime use.
  • Power Off Screen — real hardware screen off via Device Admin. Lowest power consumption. Best for nighttime.

This is especially useful on Xiaomi/MIUI devices that aggressively drop WebSocket connections during hardware screen off.

REST API

Two new API commands (requires Dashie Android 2.24.7B+):

  • setScreenOffMethod — change the default method: ?cmd=setScreenOffMethod&method=overlay
  • screenOff with method param — one-time override: ?cmd=screenOff&method=overlay
