# Changelog

## 0.14.4

- Removes the obsolete Home Assistant connection-test/default entity; HA connection testing uses only the configured URL and token.
- `outdoor_entity_id` / `HA_OUTDOOR_ENTITY_ID` is the global Home Assistant outdoor-temperature sensor.
- Adds optional per-zone `ha_outdoor_entity_id`; when empty, the zone uses the global outdoor sensor, and when set it overrides the outdoor source only for that zone.
- Keeps Home Assistant room temperature sensors per zone via `ha_entity_id`.
- Global and per-zone outdoor sensors are available in aliases, metrics/history and Home Assistant entity suggestions used by Visual Flow.

## 0.14.3

- Home Assistant connection test now validates the configured server and token without requiring any entity.

## 0.14.2

- Improves connectivity controls: Local/LAN ping measurement can be explicitly enabled/disabled in Settings, disabled workers gray out their interval/sample fields, Cloud REST/MQTT measurement settings live in a dedicated block, and History → Pings can hide/show jitter with one button while rendering jitter as a dashed line.
- Adds a configurable background connectivity worker for Local/LAN units with measurement interval and sample-count settings.
- Adds a History → Connectivity/Pings view with per-endpoint latency, jitter and packet-loss charts plus latest batch summaries.
- Stores connectivity readings in SQLite using the same retention/compaction lifecycle as other history metrics and archives them to InfluxDB when enabled.
- Keeps direct unit probing Local/LAN-only; GREE Cloud diagnostics instead measure optional REST response time and MQTT PINGRESP round-trip.
- Adds opt-in GREE Cloud connectivity metrics with configurable interval/sample count; Cloud measurements are disabled by default.
- Adds separate vertical and horizontal swing controls for local units in Manual Control, respecting per-device capabilities.
- Adds vertical and horizontal swing controls to thermostat zone cards without switching the zone into manual device ownership.
- Adds optional `swing_vertical` and `swing_horizontal` actions to legacy direct-device automations.
- Extends Visual Flow so both `device_action` and `zone_thermostat` can control vertical/horizontal swing, and device-state selectors use readable swing labels.
- Prevents swing-enabled thermostat Flows from being reduced to native schedules, preserving the auxiliary swing action at runtime.
- Exposes vertical and horizontal swing on Home Assistant zone thermostat climate entities when supported by the assigned unit.

## 0.14.1

- Adds split and multisplit installation groups in the Devices section, including assignment of indoor units to a shared outdoor installation.
- Adds installation-level energy sources so a multisplit can use one cumulative GREE Cloud meter or one Home Assistant energy entity instead of reporting duplicated per-unit consumption.
- Shows on each grouped device that its energy is provided by the assigned split/multisplit installation and identifies the configured shared source.
- Adds an optional shared outdoor-temperature source for an installation, allowing all member units to use the outdoor temperature reported by one selected unit.
- Adds installation groups to configuration export/import, bootstrap/API data and persistence, with validation that prevents duplicate membership and invalid energy/outdoor source references.
- Keeps installation configuration consistent when devices are removed, including removing empty groups and resetting a deleted GREE Cloud energy source safely.
- Adds multi-select energy charts so several devices and/or installations can be displayed together.
- Adds energy period comparison against the previous day, previous equivalent period or previous year.
- Fixes daily energy chart labels so daily aggregation is rendered as calendar dates instead of timestamps such as `02:00`.
- Unifies GREE Cloud validation/error alerts with the alert style used for device errors and removes redundant styling paths.
- Hides empty GREE Cloud status fields such as disabled/disconnected, `0 / 0` and `Unavailable`; status details are shown only when useful data or an actionable error exists.
- Preserves and updates the Polish/English translations used by the new installation, energy and Cloud UI, including the simplified Cloud details label (`Details` / `Szczegóły`).
- Fixes repeated `GREE Cloud MQTT message does not match a registered device` warnings after deleting all Cloud devices by ignoring in-flight stale MQTT frames when no devices are registered and closing the now-unused MQTT session after the last device is unregistered.
- Adds regression coverage ensuring stale MQTT payloads are ignored only when no Cloud devices remain, while unknown-device payloads still fail when registered devices exist.

## 0.14.0

- Adds GREE Cloud as a first-class provider while preserving the existing LAN/UDP transport.
- Adds MQTT/TLS status push, Cloud commands, reconnect/resubscribe lifecycle and safe Cloud diagnostics.
- Adds per-device capabilities and Cloud-specific Devices/Manual Control UI.
- Adds GREE Cloud and Home Assistant cumulative-energy sources, delta conversion, energy history, aggregation, charts and InfluxDB archive support.
- Keeps Local and Cloud entries independent and never performs automatic transport fallback.

## 0.13.10

- Accepts multi-state non-zero values for optional GREE feature flags without dropping an otherwise valid status frame.
- Preserves unit-specific active `Quiet` encodings (`1`, `2` or `3`) and reuses them when Quiet is enabled; legacy units still default to `Quiet=1`.
- Prevents units reporting `Quiet=2` from being marked offline because of parser validation.

## 0.13.9

- Home Assistant add-on with `amd64` + `aarch64` multi-arch OCI image.
- Host networking for GREE UDP discovery and multi-interface/VLAN hosts.
- Home Assistant ingress, watchdog and cold backup support.
- Polish and English documentation consolidated into one `DOCS.md`.
