Commit: df16e85359e35903bd91b8368488ad958eaee8ae. Major bugs fixed: - Localization typo fix in the update_not_available key in Shelly strings. - Cleanup of orphaned entities and removal of empty sub-devices to prevent stale entries. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased reliability and observability of Shelly devices with new sensors and virtual components, enabling richer automations and dashboards. - Reduced maintenance burden by removing orphaned and empty sub-devices, and by consolidating RPC-based light handling through entity descriptions. - Improved compatibility and resilience through timely dependency updates and sensor taxonomy improvements, reducing regression risk and easing future enhancements. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Python and Home Assistant core integration patterns (entity descriptions, object-based entities, and role-based sensor IDs). - Test-driven validation for new sensors and complex integrations. - Dependency management, localization quality improvements, and clean-up/maintenance of device registries. Business value: - More accurate energy and state data for automation triggers, better user experience through consistent UI messaging, and a cleaner registry that lowers debugging and onboarding costs for developers and operators.
