Smarter Sensors and Live Previews
I am excited to bring you the latest update to Background Graph Entities. This release focuses on refining the user interface for read-only sensors and making it easier than ever to explore the component's capabilities before adding it to your dashboard.
What is New
Smarter Read-Only Sensors
I have resolved a visual bug where read-only boolean entities (specifically the binary_sensor, sensor, and update domains) were incorrectly rendering an interactive toggle switch in the standard layout view. These entities will now accurately display their current state as text, preventing confusion and improving the overall accuracy of your interface. This directly resolves Issue #37.
Live Interactive Demo Page
You can now try before you install! I have launched a fully interactive, live demonstration page hosted directly on GitHub Pages. This live environment allows you to experiment with all available visual styles, test the toggle interactions, and preview the dynamic graph animations without needing to set up a local Home Assistant instance.
Under the Hood Enhancements
While mostly invisible to end users, I have completely overhauled the automated visual testing pipeline. This guarantees that future updates will maintain strict visual parity and high rendering quality across all layouts.
Changelog
- Fix: Prevent read-only boolean entities from rendering toggle switches in standard views (Fixes #37)
- Feature: Launch live interactive demonstration page for zero-friction layout previews
- Maintenance: Upgrade core deployment pipelines and implement robust end-to-end visual testing
