New X-Server-Timestamp header

[0.1.17] - 2026-07-19

Added

• "X-Server-Timestamp" header sends the server time as Unix timestamp so that the frame can use it

Fixing wrong HTTP status code when no new picture is available

Changed

• Returning HTTP 200 (with status 204) when there is no new picture available so that frame still gets next_cron_time. HTTP 204 may not contain additional information.
• Fixing wrong logger output
• Removing deprecated python dt.datetime.utcnow() call

Better randomization of image upload

[0.1.14] - 2026-04-25

Changed

• changing max length of file list from 50 to 250 to have better randomization

Removing battery icon

Changed

• removed bloomin8_battery icon to use Home Assistant default icon

bloomin8_battery now BATTERY sensor

Changed

• changed bloomin8_battery to SensorDeviceClass.BATTERY

Disable mode

Added

• Added switch.bloomin8_pull_enabled to enable or disable image pulling
• Pull disabling allows pausing image rotation (e.g. during vacations)
• Switch state is persisted across Home Assistant restarts

Changed

• /eink_pull endpoint now respects the pull enabled state
• When pulling is disabled, the endpoint responds without serving a new image

take care of device time drift

Changed

• take care of device time drift of up to 30 minutes, e. g. device is set to wake up at 6am but wakes at 5:47 (seems to be a firmware bug) - do not set the time to 6am again but to the next time slot (e. g. 18:00 when wake_up_hours is "6,18").
• translated all comments to English

wake_up_hours - BREAKING CHANGE

Added - BREAKING CHANGE

• parameter "wake_up_hours" instead of "next_interval_minutes" because BLOOMIN8 frame does not wake at exact time but seems to drift a few minutes. "wake_up_hours" is a comma-separated list of hours you want the frame to wake at, e. g. "6,18" = 6:00 and 18:00. "next_interval_minutes" does not work anymore, sorry.

larger history

Changed

• larger history of last shown pictures (50% instead of 25%, min 5, max 50)

history of last shown pictures to avoid repetitions

Added

• history of last shown pictures to avoid repetitions
