v2026031 – Light Temperature Fix, Timezone Removal & CI Updates

Summary

This release fixes the inverted light color temperature selector, removes the now-incompatible timezone support following a breaking change in ESPHome v2026.3.0, and restores CI test workflows broken by recent upstream updates.

Bug Fixes

Inverted Light Color Temperature Selector

Fixed a bug where the color temperature selector for lights was working in reverse. (#3250)

Details:

• Moving the slider towards warmer tones was incorrectly resulting in cooler color temperatures being applied, and vice versa
• The display value and the actual light behavior were misaligned, leading to a confusing and unintuitive user experience

Result: The color temperature slider now behaves as expected — warmer selections produce warmer light, and cooler selections produce cooler light.

Breaking Changes

Timezone Support Removed

Removed the previously implemented timezone support due to a breaking change in ESPHome v2026.3.0.

Details:

• ESPHome v2026.3.0 introduced a fully rebuilt timezone engine
• The new implementation is incompatible with the solution previously used in this project
• Continuing to ship the old implementation would result in incorrect or unpredictable behavior

Action required: If you were relying on timezone configuration provided by this project, please refer to the ESPHome
Time Component documentation for the timezone option available natively in the time platform of your choice (e.g. homeassistant, sntp).

Maintenance

CI Test Workflows Revised

Updated the GitHub Actions merge workflows to restore automated testing.

Details:

• Recent upstream changes had broken the existing merge test configurations
• Workflows have been revised to align with the current upstream state and restore reliable CI coverage

Result: Automated tests are now passing again for merge requests.

Release addressing an inverted light temperature selector, removal of incompatible timezone support following ESPHome v2026.3.0, and restoration of CI test workflows.

v2026030 - Fix color temperature service call for Home Assistant 2026.3.0 compatibility

What's Changed

🔧 Fix: Light color temperature now uses color_temp_kelvin

Home Assistant 2026.3.0 removes the deprecated color_temp (Mireds) and kelvin parameters from light.turn_on. This release updates the light page to use the non-deprecated color_temp_kelvin parameter instead.

The TFT slider now operates natively in Kelvin, keeping the value flow clean end-to-end without any unit conversion.

⚠️ Important

This release requires updating all three components (ESPHome, TFT, and Blueprint) together. Using mismatched versions across this change will result in color temperature control no longer working.

v2026013 – Fahrenheit Temperature Handling Fixes and Fixed Baud Rate

Summary

This release focuses on fixing temperature unit handling when using Fahrenheit, addressing multiple issues related to incorrect display, reporting, and UI behavior. It also standardizes the serial communication speed to 115200 bps, removing configurable speed selectors to reduce the risk of baud rate mismatches between the TFT and ESPHome.

Climate and Temperature Fixes

Fahrenheit (°F) Temperature Handling

Fixed multiple issues affecting temperature display and behavior when using Fahrenheit.

Scope:

• Corrected cases where temperatures were always reported or displayed as Celsius
• Fixed erratic UI behavior when changing temperature values in Fahrenheit
• Ensured hardware temperature sensors report the correct unit when temp_units: "°F" is configured

v2026011 – Rollback of Home Assistant 2026.1 Blueprint Changes and Fixes

Summary

This release rolls back the blueprint changes introduced in v2026010 for Home Assistant 2026.1.0 compatibility,
as they caused automation breakage for many users.
The original Home Assistant issue was limited to UI behavior and did not break functionality,
so restoring stability is prioritized.
This release also fixes an ESPHome compilation issue affecting temperature entities configured in Fahrenheit.

Rollback Details

Blueprint Changes for Home Assistant 2026.1.0

Reverted the blueprint modifications introduced to support Home Assistant 2026.1.0.

Reason:

• The changes broke automations for a significant number of users
• The underlying Home Assistant issue affected only the UI and not core functionality
• The regression impact outweighed the benefit of the UI-related fix

Result: Restored the previously stable and working automation behavior.

User Guidance

If issues persist after updating to this release, it is recommended to re-set or re-save automations affected by recent changes,
as some problems may be related to formatting changes introduced in v2026010.

Result: Re-applying the configuration should restore correct behavior in remaining edge cases.

Bug Fixes

Temperature Entity (Fahrenheit) – ESPHome Compile Error

Fixed an issue with temperature entities configured in Fahrenheit that prevented ESPHome from compiling.

Result: ESPHome now compiles correctly when using Fahrenheit-based temperature entities.

Compatibility Notes

Home Assistant 2026.1.0

• Compatible with Home Assistant 2026.1.0
• Blueprint changes related to HA 2026.1.0 have been reverted
• A known UI limitation may remain, but functionality is preserved

Result: Stable operation without automation regressions.

---

Rollback release prioritizing automation stability, with additional fixes for Fahrenheit temperature entities and ESPHome compilation.
