v0.9.0

[0.9.0] - 2026-07-23

Added

• Notes on problem-sensor tasks — remembered for next time. When Home Keeper
  mirrors a device_class: problem binary sensor as a task, you can now attach a
  free-text note to it right from the task's detail page (Add a note → type →
  Save). The note is for the instructions you want next time the problem fires —
  the fix that worked last time, a part number, where the shut-off valve is. It sticks
  with that sensor: it survives the task clearing and re-arming, and even survives the
  mirror being removed and recreated (turning problem-sensor sync off and on, or
  temporarily excluding the sensor), so it reappears the next time the same problem
  goes off.
• Manufacturer/model/serial number for existing-device appliances. Attaching an
  appliance to a device you already have in Home Assistant used to offer only a device
  picker — none of the catalog fields a fully virtual appliance gets. Those fields
  (manufacturer, model, serial number, icon) are now available for existing-device
  appliances too, and picking a device prefills any that are still empty from the
  device's own registry entry — handy since not every integration reports them. Fields
  you've already filled in (or the device doesn't know) are never overwritten, so you
  can freely correct or complete what the device is missing. (Fixes #145)
• Back-date or correct a task completion. The completion dialog now has an
  optional Completed at date/time field (defaults to now) for logging a
  completion in the past — so a floating task's next-due date measures from when
  you actually did it, not from when you got around to logging it. The task
  history list also gains a move date action on each completion row to fix an
  already-recorded entry's timestamp after the fact, without touching its note,
  cost, photo, or who. Backed by a new home_keeper.move_completion service and
  matching websocket command; automations that already react to
  home_keeper_task_completed / home_keeper_task_uncompleted see a move for
  free. (Fixes #143)

Fixed

• The task-completion dialog's Save button was invisible. For a task set to
  "Ask for details" or "Require details" on completion, tapping Done opened a
  dialog to log a note/cost/who — but its Mark done/Save, Skip details,
  and Cancel buttons never rendered, in the panel or the mobile app, so there was
  no way to confirm or dismiss it. Home Assistant's ha-dialog component changed its
  internal slot API (action buttons must now be wrapped in <ha-dialog-footer>); the
  panel's completion dialog hadn't been updated to match. (Fixes #144)

v0.8.0

[0.8.0] - 2026-07-04

Added

• Discover known companions from the panel. The Settings → Companions section
  now links out to the docs catalog of integrations and glue that work with Home
  Keeper, so you can browse the full list even when nothing is detected on your setup.
  The docs page also invites you to open a GitHub issue to suggest a companion (or
  glue) integration that should be listed.
• In-form help for creating tasks. The task editor now explains itself as you fill
  it in: every field carries concise helper text, a ? icon by the form title links
  straight to the docs, and sensor-based tasks gain a short primer plus a live,
  computed hint that reads the bound sensor and spells out what happens next — e.g.
  "This sensor reads 660 h now. The task becomes due at 760 h, then every 100 h after
  each completion." This clears up the most common confusion with usage-meter tasks:
  the target counts usage from the sensor's current reading, not from zero, and the
  count restarts after each completion.
• Product URL on replaceable parts. A part can now carry a link to where you buy
  it (e.g. an Amazon listing). When set, the part's name in the appliance detail page
  becomes a clickable link that opens the product page in a new tab, so reordering a
  worn or consumed part is one click away. (Fixes #118)
• Attach a file to a replaceable part. A part can now carry a single attached
  file (a receipt, spec sheet, or photo) alongside its product URL — upload it from
  the part's editor and open or remove it later, the same secure upload/storage path
  appliance documents already use.
• A linked task's "Consumable link" points straight at the part's product page.
  When a maintenance task is tied to a part that has a product URL, that link now
  opens the product page directly — in the panel's task detail and on the dashboard
  card's task row — instead of just naming the part.
• Auto-create a "buy" task when a spare part runs low. A replaceable part that
  tracks stock with a reorder threshold can now opt into an automatic shopping
  reminder: enable Auto-create buy task on the part, and whenever its stock drops
  to (or below) the reorder point Home Keeper adds a one-off "Buy {part}" task —
  on the appliance's device page, the to-do list, and the panel. The reminder clears
  itself once the part is restocked above the threshold (or you turn the option off).
  Completing the reminder restocks the part by a configurable Restock quantity
  (default 1), closing the low → buy → restocked loop with no automation to write.

Changed

• A task's appliance links now render as chips, inline with the rest. On the
  dashboard card, a task's document/metadata links, uploaded files, and a linked
  part's product URL previously appeared as plain blue links in a separate row below
  the task's chips, which read inconsistently. They now render as primary-tinted
  link-chips in the same chip row as the status, area, and label chips — one tidy,
  wrapping row — while still opening in a new tab on tap.

Fixed

• Auto-generated maintenance task names now follow your Home Assistant language.
  The name Home Keeper generates for a wear part (e.g. "Replace {part} ({appliance})")
  was always English; it's now translated into your configured language across every
  surface — the panel, the to-do list, the calendar, notifications, and the device
  pages — and updates automatically if you change the language. (Fixes #119)
• Fixed a batch of bugs found during an in-depth code review (correctness,
  security, and reliability), plus internal maintainability cleanups.
