Humidity Intelligence v2.0.6: Safer Telemetry, Clearer Control

Humidity Intelligence 2.0.6 is a stability and truth-alignment release.

This version focuses on making HI clearer when something is wrong, quieter when control should stand down, and more honest in the dashboard about what the backend actually decided.

The biggest change is safer degraded behavior: if required humidity or configured temperature telemetry is unavailable, HI now exposes an explicit telemetry_unavailable runtime mode instead of letting missing data look like a normal all-clear state.

Highlights

• Added explicit telemetry_unavailable runtime truth for missing humidity or configured temperature telemetry.
• Fixed global gate preemption so stale humidity-danger alert context and Current Air Control chips clear when the gate takes authority.
• Fixed CO emergency clear timing so HI rechecks at the two-minute clear deadline instead of waiting for the next normal control interval.
• Improved setup/options navigation, including safer Cancel behavior and Zone 2 trigger ownership labels.
• Added local HI-only snapshot services for advanced maintenance: create_local_backup and list_saved_versions.
• Improved HI House Humidity Drift 7d dependency handling with clearer diagnostics, self-check, release-check, and Home Assistant Repairs guidance.
• Retuned Spring and Summer temperature chip bands while keeping seasonal comfort boundaries backend-owned.
• Added backend simulation validation for HI Air Control Mode and HI Air Control Reason.
• Added Community Ideas & Proposals intake, refreshed support guidance, and tightened release/security validation.

Upgrade Notes

No migration is required.

After updating, reload or restart Home Assistant. If you use pasted Manual dashboard cards, run:

service: humidity_intelligence.dump_cards
data: {}

Then re-copy the generated YAML and refresh the dashboard/browser cache so the Current Air Control card reflects the latest runtime truth.

Maintenance Notes

The new local snapshot services are intentionally narrow. They create and list package-local HI snapshots only. They are not Home Assistant backups, do not restore code, do not intercept HACS updates, and do not change running code until Home Assistant is restarted after any separate manual file work.

Lane ordering, AQ behavior, humidifier behavior, alert hierarchy, migration behavior, HACS update behavior, and normal runtime-control semantics remain unchanged except for the explicit telemetry-unavailable truth correction.

If you are updating from 2.0.5, this should feel like the same Humidity Intelligence engine, but with safer missing-data handling, clearer diagnostics, and a cleaner support path when something in the Home Assistant environment needs attention.
