Home Assistant Core 2022.7.0 → 2022.8.0

Advantage Air

Each AC will have its own device, different from the one previously created. Any automations or scripts that target the device will need to be corrected.

(@Bre77 - #75395) (documentation)

---

The previsouly deprecated service advantage_air.set_myzone has been removed. Use the available MyZone select entity instead.

(@Bre77 - #75160) (documentation)

Calendar

Calendar description attributes are no longer written into the recorder database.

(@allenporter - #75375) (documentation)

HERE Travel Time

The single HERE Travel Time sensor with attributes is split up into separate sensors for Duration, Duration in Traffic, Route, Distance, Origin, Destination.

If you used the entity attributes in your automation or scripts, you will need to adapt them to this change.

HomeKit Controller

The ecobee Fan mode number entity has been removed as HomeKit Controller now implements fan mode on the climate entity which replaces this functionality.

(@bdraco - #74440) (documentation)

LIFX

Each LIFX device now has its own integration entry. The existing entry will be migrated to separate entries automatically as each device is discovered, and will automatically be removed once all devices are found.

Migrating to an integration entry per device allows Home Assistant to take care of discovery IP updates and retries, dramatically improving the integration's reliability.

LIFX can now be configured manually by IP address. DHCP, HomeKit, and native discovery are supported for updating IP addresses to ensure we never lose track of a device.

Advanced YAML configuration is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Advanced YAML configuration is no longer necessary as the integration now fully utilizes Network Configuration, and can also function without working discovery.

Logger

Timestamps in the Home Assistant log file now include millisecond-level resolution.

Scripts or external log system that rely on this will need to be updated to handle the extra decimal places.

Sonos

The previously deprecated sonos.join and sonos.unjoin services have been removed in favor of the standard media_player.join and media_player.unjoin services.

(@jjlawren - #74476) (documentation)

SwitchBot

The Bluetooth integration must be enabled before switchbot can be used. Bluetooth is automatically discovered in most cases, but can be manually added from the integrations page if it is not.

The Time between updates (seconds) and How long to scan for advertisement data options have been removed as they are no longer needed since the integration is now push instead of polling.

(@bdraco - #75645) (documentation)

Z-Wave

Carbon Monoxide binary sensors have changed their device class from gas to co.

(@EnochPrime - #75649) (documentation)
