V2.1.1 Release Candidate

v2.1.1 release-candidate guidance

Historical RC guidance: v2.1.1-rc.1 was the unpublished source candidate merged in PR #132. The final release is described in v2.1.1 Stable guidance. Current Stable is v2.1.1. Installing a beta on a production instance does not make it the published Stable release.

Single-level configurations no longer need a dummy second level. V2 humidity and temperature chips follow effective telemetry, including saved Options. Configured unavailable inputs remain visible; missing required mappings still prevent a verified export. Use diagnostics to distinguish these cases.

Both V2 layouts use revision 13, stamp schema 1 and generator contract 1. Existing beta.4 revision-13 cards remain compatible with RC.1. After an approved upgrade from earlier versions, refresh the in-memory card cache, export with view_cards or dump_cards, and replace the complete saved Manual-card YAML. Exports do not replace dashboard cards automatically.

The left footer status describes UI compatibility. Separate optional HACS evidence appears at the right. ↑ Update available means the provider reports an update; routine no-update text is retained in details rather than displayed in the footer. Skipped, progress and unverified states remain explicit. Downloaded and available versions do not prove loaded code or fresh release discovery. Opening View update performs only a guarded native details handoff.

Calculated temperature trends keep the latest actual reading per minute in a one-hour window, at most 61 points. Missing minutes are not filled. The changed weighting can affect slopes and slope-dependent decisions. Provided slopes, lane priority and CO protection remain unchanged. Native Outputs text/percentages and decorated issue-summary privacy filtering are also hardened.

The existing v205_release_check name accepts the v2.1.1 beta/rc/stable line in this candidate. For ordinary report-only verification use write_test_exports: false and require_local_hi_snapshot: false. It rebuilds the in-memory mapping/card cache and writes a private owned report and notification, but does not replace saved cards or control outputs. Preserve fixed-name reports before recollecting. RC.1 self-check counts use effective saved Options; earlier packages may retain the initial setup count.

Native diagnostics custom_components.humidity_intelligence.version and integration_manifest.version provide loader evidence. The integration's own manifest-backed version alone does not prove loaded code. Keep on-disk, loaded, published, provider-reported and rendered identities separate. Download diagnostics privately and review redaction before sharing.

An approved full-package installation needs a Home Assistant restart; no configuration/entity migration is required. Restart/reload clears in-memory Stability history. Back up the previous complete package and saved cards separately. Restore compatible cards with an older backend; otherwise revision 13 may truthfully show UI differs. Restoring a package does not restore score history.

See the candidate release notes and UI compatibility contract for canonical source guidance. The Wiki is a supporting manual. Candidate documentation does not establish a published release or a completed installation.
