Apr 1, 20262026-04 Monthly Summary — worgarside/home-assistant Key features delivered this month focused on packaging hygiene, system readability, user engagement, and reliability across home automation workflows. Release housekeeping for versions 3.25.0, 3.26.0, and 3.27.0 was completed to improve packaging traceability and release hygiene. A new air purifier fan speed percentage template sensor converts the 0-4 scale to 0-100% for consistent integration and clearer graphs. Actionable habit notifications were added to enable marking habits complete or incrementing counts directly from alerts. Camera offline notifications were enhanced to cover more cameras with updated mappings and a larger processing queue for reliability. Roof terrace shutters automation was introduced with environment-based triggers and wind-speed protection, plus centralized control to improve visibility and safety. Impact and accomplishments: - Streamlined release process and packaging traceability reducing risk in deployments. - Improved device interoperability and data readability with a unified 0-100% sensor representation. - Elevated user productivity and engagement through actionable notifications and faster task completion. - Increased system reliability and monitoring for cameras and actuators via queue improvements and better notification mappings. - Centralized automation logic reducing maintenance overhead and improving state visibility for critical home-automation workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python templating, Home Assistant template sensors, and automation scripting. - YAML configuration design, refactoring for centralized logic, and readability improvements. - Code quality practices including pre-commit hooks and collaborative, co-authored contributions. - Reliability engineering through queue sizing and robust notification handling.
