Version 3.7.0

• Fixed a bug with home air conditioner humidity settings. ( #116 )
• Changed the unique ID generation method so that unique IDs to avoid duplication even on devices with multiple instances.
  • But unique ID of existing configurations will not be changed. However, if you delete and reconfigure the integration, the unique ID will change, so some adjustments, such as automation, may be required.
• Added a step to automatically obtain an IP address if possible in the integration's configuration flow.
• Immediate states updates via service "homeassistant.update_entity".
• Polling to update other attributes when data updates are received for air conditioners, lights, and fans.
• Support Low voltage smart electric energy meter (Smart Meter).
• Bump pychonet to 2.3.9
• Other minor fixes and refactorings.

Version 3.6.2

Bump pychonet to 2.3.4.

In this version, the problem that the state of the writing entity may not be reflected correctly when the status changes is further fixed, and a stable response can be obtained.

Version 3.6.1

Bump pychonet to 2.3.3.

This fixes a bug where switch entities would sometimes not reflect the correct state of the equipment.

Improved error handling, updates to sensor IDs and services

This release comes with plenty of quality of life improvements by @nao-pon.

This release improves on error handling for multicast ECHONETLite notification messages. If your ECHONETLite device supports push notifications, this should see to improved responsiveness in Home Assistant.

@nao-pon has added a single byte integer value setting service.
The service is enabled only if the corresponding parameter can be set.

@nao-pon has also fixed up Sensor IDs to use UID rather than IP address as we try to figure out a means of supporting hostnames and DHCP assigned IP addresses.

However, this fix invalidates the entity already configured in HA and creates a new entity with that entity ID + "_2".
Please remove the disabled entity and remove "_2" from the entity ID of the new entity.

Initial support for Switch entities and service calls.

Thanks to the hard work of @nao-pon (Naoki Sawada) we now have support for switch entities and creating service calls for inputting data.
At this stage switch entities and service calls are only supported for the Hot Water Heater class. Please read the documentation for more information.

Implements quiet operation and some enhancements to sensors.

This beta release implements silent mode using the Climate entity 'preset' attribute for systems that support it. This is to try to close off issue #70. Also hopefully improves on a number of sensors which will then close off issue #68
I am experimenting with a 'pre-release' version strategy so I can reduce the amount of incremental version updates.

Bug fix for the bug fix release

This release provides better logging and resolves some outstanding issues.

Bug fixes for issue #68

Minor update to improve support for the new HotWaterGenerator class.

Basic support for Hybrid Water Heaters

No functional change for this release, but moves to pychonet 2.2.0 which should resolve issues with support for Hybrid Water Heater sensors.

Bug Fix for Distribution Panel Meter sensors

The instantaneous power sensor for Distribution panels was missing the sensor type - this is now fixed.
