Home Assistant
Replaying an averaging sensor’s readings can hold up startup for minutes and prevent other integrations from loading.
Reviewed by joostlek
Home Assistant stops a long sensor-averaging window from holding up startup while it replays recorded readings. In a reported setup with a 24-hour window and a reading every five seconds, that replay delayed startup for six to seven minutes—long enough for the global timeout to cancel ZHA and other integrations.
Home Assistant
API-key-only connections gain switches for cameras, floodlights and smart sensors, plus relay outputs.
Reviewed by joostlek, c0ffeeca7
Home Assistant expands what a UniFi Protect connection can control using only an API key. Camera status lights, overlays and smart-detection settings join floodlight status lights, smart-sensor detection switches and relay outputs, without requiring the additional local user account used by full-access mode.
Home Assistant
Affected inverters lose six misleading sensors, which need removing from dashboards and automations.
Reviewed by silamon
Home Assistant stops publishing household consumption and grid import and export readings when a Sofar inverter reports that the required meter data is invalid. On one solar-only 4.4 KTLX-G3, the supposed consumption total copied solar generation and claimed 17.9 MWh that the household had never consumed.
Music Assistant
Optional Plex account linking gives affected iPhone setups another way to find a playback destination.
Reviewed by MarvinSchenkel, OzGav, remon1496
Music Assistant adds an optional way to make its Plex Connect players appear in Plexamp on iPhones that cannot find them locally. Linking the player to a Plex account makes it discoverable through Plex’s device registry; networks where local discovery already works do not need the extra step.
Home Assistant
Directly opening local SVG media becomes a download, while ordinary image displays keep working.
Reviewed by joostlek, maartenla, MartinHjelmare
Home Assistant changes how it serves locally stored SVG images when someone opens a file’s own address. The browser downloads the file instead of opening it as an active document, preventing embedded scripts from running on the same site as the Home Assistant interface.
Sendspin
The command-line player uses macOS audio services, fixing a launch failure on Macs without Homebrew’s PortAudio.
