v2.0.0

[LarsK1]

🚀 Exciting News! Solvis Control Integration 2.0.0 Has Landed! 🚀

Get ready to take your Solvis heating system integration in Home Assistant to the next level! We're thrilled to announce the release of Version 2.0.0, a major milestone packed with powerful new features, significant enhancements, and crucial stability improvements.

Why Upgrade to 2.0.0?

This release represents a huge leap forward, built upon extensive feedback and development effort. Here’s what awaits you:

✨ Major Feature Highlights: ✨

• Effortless Setup & Discovery: Getting started is now easier than ever! We've introduced Device Network Discovery (Feat: Device network discovery #179) and automatic detection of heating circuits (HKR) ([FEATURE] Use "Anzahl HKR" (hkr_number) for config_flow #188) during configuration.
• Expanded PV-to-Heat Integration: Unlock the full potential of your solar energy! Monitor PV-to-Heat energy (Brennerleistung wird nicht angezeigt #54, TODO: Evaluate / Check registers in Excel-Table #173) and electric power ([FEATURE] Register für elektrische Leistung "PV2Heat" #55) directly within Home Assistant. Configure this feature easily via a new config flow option ([FEATURE] New config option for PV2Heat #183).
• More Data, More Control: We've added a host of new sensors and entities ([FEATURE] Register für elektrische Leistung "PV2Heat" #55, [FEATURE] Add "Ausgang A14" (Umschaltventil Wärmepumpe) #96, TODO: Evaluate / Check registers in Excel-Table #173), including Analog Output Ox (Feat: Add Analog Out Ox #147), additional binary sensor outputs (A6, A7, A10, A11, A13) (Feat: comprehensive name changes; completely revised Analog Out Ox Status & Ausgänge Ax; added A6, A7, A10, A11, A13 as binary sensors #140), and the S16 temperature sensor (36c268b).
• Enhanced User Experience: Enjoy a visually refined interface with custom icons for all entities (f283273). Setting HKR flow types is now more intuitive with dedicated select entities ([FEATURE] Change HKRx Vorlaufart to select entities and enabled by default #156).
• Raw Data Access: For advanced users and debugging, raw or unprocessed values are now conveniently stored in entities' extra attributes (Feat: Store raw or unprocessed values in entities extra attributes #149, caca534).
• Improved Configuration: Added a new config step for HKRx room temperature sensors ([FEATURE] Additional config step for HKRx Room Temp read/write configuration #232) and a feature toggle for the heat meter ([FEATURE] Add "Wärmemengenzähler" / "Heat meter" as Config-Option #146).

🔧 Under the Hood & Stability Boost: 🔧

• Complete Naming Overhaul: We've standardized and revised all entity names for clarity and consistency (Feat: Naming completely revised and standardized #192, c3431ea, 82685b4). This is a significant improvement for usability long-term!
• Maximum Test Coverage: Confidence in stability is at an all-time high, achieving 100% test coverage across all integration files (860f3c4, 30d6fda, 4c48cde, 7f0ca0e, 758e34f, etc.), ensuring robust operation.
• Robust Error Handling: Entities now reliably report as unavailable if data fetching fails (608af2d), and Modbus connection handling has been improved (b8ad75a).
• Significant Refactoring: Core components like sensor modules (364c966), Modbus handling (bffde99, 984b8bc), and configuration flow (bffde99) have been refactored for better performance, maintainability, and future development.
• Numerous Bug Fixes: We've squashed bugs related to Modbus errors on SC2 (6f9ea1a), UI interactions (bbd0a35), translations (a93957e), compatibility (323d6c2), and much more!

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Breaking Changes & Required User Actions ⚠️

Core Change: Version 2.0.0 introduces a complete revision and standardization of all entity names/IDs (#192, c3431ea). This is essential for long-term clarity and consistency.
Impact on Your Configuration: Because all entity IDs have changed, manual updates to your existing Home Assistant configurations (Dashboards/Lovelace, Automations, Scripts, Helpers, etc.) WILL BE REQUIRED after installing version 2.0.0, regardless of the upgrade method you choose. You will need to identify the new entity IDs and update your configurations accordingly.
Recommended Upgrade Path for a Clean Integration State: To ensure the integration itself transitions smoothly to the new structure and to minimize the risk of potential internal migration issues or leftover artifacts from the old version, we strongly recommend the following procedure:

• Delete the existing Solvis device/integration from Home Assistant (Settings -> Devices & Services).
• Upgrade the Solvis Control integration to version 2.0.0 via HACS.
• Restart Home Assistant.
• Add the Solvis Control integration again (Settings -> Devices & Services -> Add Integration). This sets up the integration cleanly using the new entity structure from the start.
• Manually update your Dashboards, Automations, Scripts, etc., to use the new entity IDs provided by the re-added integration. Consult the documentation for the new naming convention.

Direct Upgrade Path: You can also choose to upgrade the integration directly via HACS without deleting it first. The integration will attempt to migrate, but this carries a slightly higher risk of unforeseen issues. After a direct upgrade, you will still need to manually update your Dashboards, Automations, Scripts, etc., to use the new entity IDs.

Update today via HACS. Please carefully read the "Breaking Changes & Required User Actions" section above and consult the full changelog and documentation before proceeding.

Thank you to everyone who contributed through testing, feedback, and code! We couldn't have done it without you.

Happy Automating! The Solvis Control Integration Team
