Adrian Jagielak b892e20920 Expose battery maintenance status (e.g. replace_now) as a sensor
Some battery devices report a full battery level while still signalling that
the battery must be replaced (the customer's log shows devices at lvl 100 with
state "replace_now"). That maintenance state was not surfaced anywhere.

When the battery service supports the replace_* events (per its `sup_events`
property), expose the hub-reported `state` attribute as a diagnostic
"Battery status" sensor.

Raw Blame History

1.8.0 (01.07.2026)

  • Expose the battery maintenance status (e.g. replace_now) as a diagnostic "Battery status" sensor for devices that support the replace_* battery events. Previously this was not surfaced at all, so a device could report a full battery level while actually needing its battery replaced.

1.7.0 (01.07.2026)

  • Added support for the Futurehome house mode (Home/Away/Sleep/Vacation). The current mode is exposed as a Mode selector on the Smarthub device, updates in real time (e.g. when a Futurehome Modeswitch button is pressed), and can be changed from Home Assistant.
  • Scene controllers (scene_ctrl, e.g. the Futurehome Modeswitch) now also expose an Event entity, so momentary button presses can trigger automations (the previous Scene sensor was stuck on unknown and could not react to repeated presses).

1.6.2 (16.05.2026)

  • Fix invalid device_class + unit_of_measurement combinations for HA 2026.5 (#32).

1.6.1 (16.10.2025)

  • Tweaked 'Ignore Availability Reports' setting.

1.6.0 (16.10.2025)

  • Added setting to always treat all devices as up.

1.5.0 (16.10.2025)

  • Reverted: Add ability to specify a custom MQTT broker.

1.4.0 (13.10.2025)

  • Added ability to specify a custom MQTT broker.

1.3.1 (28.09.2025)

  • Revert upgrading dependencies.

1.3.0 (28.09.2025)

  • Upgrade dependencies.
  • Use proper light entity for out_lvl_switch if the device type is "light", instead of generic number level switch (thanks @Andbli for help!).

1.2.1 (26.09.2025)

  • Revert 'Use light entity for out_lvl_switch if the device type is "light"'.

1.2.0 (26.09.2025)

  • Use light entity for out_lvl_switch if the device type is "light".

1.1.2 (24.09.2025)

  • Bumped dependencies (#1, #2, #6).

1.1.1 (24.09.2025)

1.1.0 (24.09.2025)

  • Stop inclusion/exclusion after the first device is added/removed, just like in the official app.
  • Add configuration checkbox for allowing empty Thingsplex credentials (#3).
  • Improved GUI security by hiding passwords by default (#4, #5) (thanks @Andbli !).
