2026.1008

[xirixiz]

Almost 2026.1008 is ready for release on February 2nd.

This version aligns much more closely with the standard Home Assistant component structure. As a result, this release introduces breaking changes.

Due to a new unique ID implementation, the sensors you currently have will be recreated with different IDs. This will lead to duplicate entities.

Recommended approach (best result)

1. Remove the existing configuration.
2. Uninstall the component.
3. Reinstall and configure it again.

This requires minimal effort and provides the cleanest outcome. In most cases, your entities will retain the names you previously assigned.

Conclusion

After several years of stability, this restructuring step was unavoidable and necessary for long-term maintainability.

Just dit the update and now i'm confused about the dates.
new 2026-02-25T23:00:00+00:00
old 2026-02-26
How can I get the date without time when the garbage will be collected

[sebastiaanspeck]

This was addressed in #512. In the options (via the cogwheel), you can disable this.

After a reload, you will only see the date again.

Just a headsup for people who might have the same problem as me (took me a while to figure). I did followed the steps (removing config/uninstall and vice-versa). But I kept receiving an error about a bad config option specified.

But I remembered that I started using AW long before the flow-config, so I checked /config/custom_sensors dir and found a really old config. After removing the error notification was gone.

I've had the duplicate entities and renumbering before, and laat release the namings of the garbge types changed. Every odd release I need to fix the entities.
Will this fix finally keep them stable?
