v0.4.0b2 — set up with the charger off (beta)
Pre-release
Second beta. Everything in v0.4.0b1 — presets, kept values, the direction of a storage run, and the 500 on Configure — plus one fix that b1 made obvious.
Fixed: nothing appeared while the charger was out of range
A charger switched off or away from a proxy left the entry in Retrying setup with "not currently in range of a Bluetooth adapter", and no entity was created at all — the first poll had to succeed before any platform loaded. On b1 that showed up as the new preset entities simply not being there.
The staged programs and presets are Home Assistant's state, not the charger's, so they no longer wait for it:
- usable with the charger off — battery type, program, the staged numbers, the preset select, save preset, preset name
- unavailable until a poll lands — the channel sensors, charger temperature, start and stop, the beep volume and the charger's own settings
The coordinator keeps polling on its usual 30 s cycle, so the entry picks itself up when the charger comes back. Stage a program while the charger is off and it is waiting for you when it powers on.
Still a beta
None of this has run against a charger yet. The direction of a storage run is the part I would most like confirmed on real hardware, and writes over an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy are still untested.
Upgrading from 0.3.0? Your staged values reset once — see the b1 notes.
