🛠️ Critical Bug Fixes

This release fixes two major issues that were causing false positives and inaccurate device tracking.

1. 🎯 Smart Unavailable Detection

Problem: Devices were marked as unavailable if even ONE sensor was offline, leading to false alarms.

Solution: A device is now only marked as unavailable if ALL its entities are unavailable.

Example:

  • Before v0.1.6: iPad has 10 sensors → 9 unavailable, 1 available → ❌ iPad shown as UNAVAILABLE (false positive!)
  • After v0.1.6: iPad has 10 sensors → 9 unavailable, 1 available → ✅ iPad NOT unavailable (accurate!)

This dramatically improves accuracy and prevents false alarms for devices that are actually functioning.

2. 🚫 Self-Sensor Filtering

Problem: Cardio4HA's own sensors were being tracked, causing nonsensical entries like "Cardio4HA - 9.0%" in low battery devices.

Solution: The integration now automatically excludes its own sensors from all tracking categories (unavailable, battery, signal).

What Changed?

Fixed:

  • Device unavailable detection now requires ALL entities to be unavailable (not just one)
  • Cardio4HA's own sensors are excluded from tracking
  • Eliminated false positive unavailable device alerts
  • Removed circular self-tracking references

Technical Details:

  • Implemented two-pass entity counting algorithm
  • Added device_entity_counts structure to track total vs unavailable entities per device
  • Added platform-based filtering to exclude integration's own sensors
  • Standalone entities (without device_id) continue to be tracked individually

Upgrade Notes:

After upgrading to v0.1.6:

  1. Restart Home Assistant
  2. Wait 60 seconds for the first scan
  3. You should see significantly fewer unavailable devices (more accurate!)
  4. No "Cardio4HA" entries in battery/signal lists

This is a recommended upgrade for all users experiencing false unavailable device alerts.
