Version 0.7.0 introduces automatic feed refreshing, ensuring your RSS content stays up-to-date without manual intervention.

What's New

Auto-Refresh Feature [#26]

Configure your RSS Accordion card to automatically refresh feed entities at your preferred interval. Simply set the refresh_interval option (in minutes) and the card will periodically update all configured feeds in the background.

Example Configuration:

type: custom:rss-accordion
entity: sensor.news_feed
refresh_interval: 30 # Refresh every 30 minutes

This feature is particularly useful for:

  • News feeds that update frequently throughout the day
  • Podcast feeds where you want to catch new episodes quickly
  • Multiple aggregated feeds that need synchronized updates

Multilingual Support

The new configuration option is fully localized in English, German, and French.

Technical Details

  • The refresh mechanism uses Home Assistant's update_entity service to force entity polling
  • Timers are properly managed to prevent memory leaks
  • Works seamlessly with both single and multiple entity configurations
  • Fully tested with comprehensive unit test coverage
