v1.15.0-beta.3
Pre-release
Bug fixes
fix: Force Export Hold now prevents auto-off at the SoC cutoff again. The previous fix removed the battery power watcher (which caused false auto-offs when battery was legitimately idle) but inadvertently also removed the Hold gate. Hold now gates the SoC cutoff check in the servo watcher directly.
fix: Force Export no longer turns off automatically after a few seconds when battery power stays near 0 W. This happened when PV production already covered the export target (battery legitimately idle), or when PV register data was unavailable at the moment the switch was turned on. The Force Export servo already monitors SoC and stops the switch at cutoff, so the battery activity watchdog was redundant and only caused false auto-offs.
What's new (v1.15.0-beta.1)
feat: Connection settings (IP address, port, Slave ID) can now be changed without removing and re-adding the integration. A Reconfigure option appears in the three-dot menu on the AlphaESS card in Settings > Devices & Services (requires Home Assistant 2024.11 or later). The new settings are connection-tested before saving and the integration reloads automatically on success.
