v1.0.0

Changelog

[1.0.0] - 2025-01-24

Breaking Changes

• Domain renamed from harvster to harvst_watermate: Existing installations will need to remove and re-add the integration. Your previous configuration entries will not be migrated automatically.
• Configuration method changed: The integration now uses Home Assistant's config flow UI instead of configuration.yaml. Remove any harvst_watermate entries from your configuration.yaml and add the integration through Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration.

Added

• New push-based architecture using Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time updates
• Standalone API harness (scripts/harvst_watermate_harness.py) for debugging without Home Assistant
• Proper device grouping - all entities now appear under a single "Harvst WaterMate" device
• Exponential backoff with automatic reconnection on connection failures

Changed

• Migrated from synchronous requests library to async aiohttp
• Entities now update instantly via SSE push instead of polling
• Simplified config flow - only requires host IP (removed unused username/password fields)

Fixed

• Reduced network traffic by using a single persistent SSE connection instead of multiple polling requests
