🚀 Modernized for 2026.3+

This release marks a complete overhaul of the Aqua Illumination integration to ensure compatibility with Home Assistant 2026.3 and Python 3.14.

✨ New Features

  • UI Config Flow: You can now add your lights via Settings > Devices & Services. No more manual configuration.yaml entries!
  • Automatic Device Grouping: All light channels, sensors, and switches are now neatly grouped under a single "Aqua Illumination" device entry.
  • Diagnostics: Added real-time Connection Status and Firmware Version sensors.

🛠 Fixes & Improvements

  • Bundled Library: The aquaipy library is now "vendored" within the integration. This fixes the common "pip installation" errors on HA Green/Yellow/Blue hardware.
  • Modern Entity Compliance: Updated to use ColorMode, SensorDeviceClass, and EntityCategory to meet 2026.3 standards.
  • Python 3.14 Compatibility: Fixed relative import issues and indentation bugs that prevented the integration from loading on newer Python versions.

⚠️ Installation Note

If you are upgrading from an older version, please remove your old YAML configuration and add the light via the UI after restarting.

Important: If using a Parent/Child light setup, only enter the IP address of the Parent light.
