New release 2026.1.B

[PedroKTFC]

Release 2021.1.B re-introduces some convenience changes:

• just about everything should now have an ID
• the BLE Status sensor makes a return!
• The substitution to allow you to change the BLE Status timeout returns. Your yaml will need the following to use this new substitution (only add if the default, now 30s, is not suitable for you):

  ble_presence_timeout: 120s # BLE Status sensor timeout (120 seconds here but choose whatever suits your set up)

I am a bit confused with the post above: I saw that 2021.1.A is still the current prod version. Will 2021.1.B be moved in the next days?

I also saw that ESPHome Device Builder moved to version 2026.1.0. As far as I can estimate, the changes are significant and possible could impact this project with its well supporting example.yaml file.
Has anyone already moved to this new version? Any feedback on changes we will have to make on our config?

Many thanks!

I did update to "ESPHome Device Builder 2026.1.0.", this seems to work fine, sensors are fine and charge A control is also working ok.

I did not make any changes to the config the required change (for this 2026.1.0 builder version) is already covered in the configuration example for some time. To be sure, you check for this part

api:
  encryption:
    key: xxxxxxxxxxxxx= # use "key: !secret your_secret_key_name" for greater security

There are two parts to this project, the main application, the current version of which is 2026.1.B, and the library, the current version of which is 2026.1.A. If you use the default yaml, you'll pick these versions up. I can see how the numbering might be confusing.
