So much room for activities

What's Changed

Additional options have been added to the intergration for further customization:

• Activity Options:
  • Create all activities as switches
  • Suppress the creation of activity groups as selects (best combined with the previous option)
• Media Player Options:
  • Create a global media player
  • Create a media player for each activity group on your remote
  • Create a media player for each activity on your remote

The global media player's source selection has been restored to its standard function. The previous functionality allowing you to switch media player device has been moved to the "Sound Mode" list.

Full Changelog: v.0.6.0...v0.6.1

Everything but the Kitchen Sink

This is a jam-packed release. Please check the breaking changes section.

Breaking Changes

• Any activity that is apart of an activity group will no longer be provided as a switch when upgrading to this release. Activity groups are now contained in a select entity.

What's Changed

• The integration is now Local Push! Thanks to @albaintor for adding web socket support, this integration is now able to always immediately reflect the current state of all sensors and controls in the remote.
• All configuration settings available on the remote are now also exposed in home assistant. This allows you to programmatically alter remote behavior based on triggers. (e.g. When you start a movie not only can you dim the ceiling lights, you can also lower the remote display brightness to not blind yourself in the dark)
• A media player entity is now available that shows the currently playing media and provides control through the remote. If you have more than one media source active, you can switch between them in the media player source dropdown.
• A new sensor displaying the remote's power state has been added
• The unfolded circle remote's web socket api does not contain resource usage information (cpu, memory, and storage) and must be retrieved by polling. Because of this, these sensors will now default to disabled by default. If you already have them enabled, you will not notice any changes after the update
• French language support has been added thanks to @albaintor

Improvements

• Zeroconf has been updated to use the MAC address as its unique identifier hopefully clearing up duplicate zero conf discovery messages in home assistant. Thanks @albaintor
• A diagnostic download option has been added to the device screen. This is helpful in debugging situations.
• A disabled by default sensor is available which informs the user if polling is currently in use or not (This only occurs if one of the resource usage sensors is enabled. The only information that is polled is for resource usage.)
• Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements

New Contributors

• @albaintor made their first contribution in #16

Full Changelog: v0.3.1...v.0.6.0

Infinite Activities...almost

• This is a small release to correct the issue where only your first ten activities would be imported into home assistant. This limit has been increased to 100.
• A larger release is in the works to add an additional 8 configuration entities that will allow you to alter remote settings from within home assistant

Empathy for the Machine

This release attempts to show some empathy for your remote two devices and substantially cuts back on the number of api calls while still providing the same update frequency. Functionality remains exactly the same while making the job of Home Assistant and your remote just a little bit easier.

Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v0.3.0

v0.2.0

What's Changed

• Add Support for Zeroconf Discovery

Your Remote Two will now be automatically discovered on the network. If you have already configured the remote two integration, you can ignore this discovery. Currently, there is insufficient data sent in the mdns broadcast to identify if you have previosly added this device to home assistant. Until that changes, a single click of ignore will hide the request from view.
