v3.0.0
v3.0.0
This release redefines the foundations: redesigned architecture, more responsive services, and an optimized processing pipeline to leverage Grok to its full potential.
⚠️ Breaking Change: Grok Code Fast Deprecation
The Grok Code Fast service and its related Lovelace card are no longer supported (available until version v2.2.1).
We recommend switching to the new and more powerful AI Code Task integration, which offers a complete IDE environment for code generation:
🔒 New Features and Privacy
- Zero Data Retention (ZDR): introduced ZDR mode that ensures maximum privacy by completely eliminating history storage on xAI servers (managed locally via encrypted blob).
- Home Location: added a new optional field to define the home location, allowing Grok to better answer questions about weather or local news, for example.
🛠️ Stateless Services Reorganization
- Improvements to
askandphoto_analysisservices: added the ability to pass optional parameters (model, temperature, etc.) directly from the service call. - xAI Task (AI Task) optimization: subsystem reorganized for faster processing speed.
- Image Handling: added new modes for sharing image files, both internal to Home Assistant and external (via URL).
🌍 Translations and Languages
- Romanian (RO): introduced complete Romanian language translation.
- English Fallback: configured English as the default language for all untranslated texts in other languages.
🔧 Internal Architecture
-
The monolithic core has been decomposed into specialized modules to improve maintainability, testability, and overall performance, allowing Grok to respond faster and more accurately.
-
Updated the README.md file to better reflect the current structure and features of the add-on.
