v0.7.0 Calibrated Expectations

It's been a while coming, but we have a fresh release to go along with HA 2024.11!

⚖️ Calibration

The big change is the official release of Calibration options! The first two have been in the beta for a while, however...

• Global Calibration, where you use one device and one proxy to set your global defaults
• Per-scanner calibration, where you can tweak the offset for each scanner (proxy) to account for differences in proxy receivers and antennae
• Per-device calibration, using a number entity on the device page, allowing you to tweak each device based on its signal strength.

Instructions on how to do the calibration process will be forthcoming, but for now, know that you should do them in the order stated above, and once you click "CONFIGURE" the config flow will give you plenty of instructions on how to do it.

The per-device calibration can be left at 0 to use the global default, or you can enter a specific ref_power for that device. The distance measurement updates immediately on changing the value, so you can dial in the expected distance.

Huge thanks to @Lash-L for their contributions on the calibration features!

🌐 The "Global" Bermuda Device

This is a device that shows up amongst the other Bermuda devices, but gives you some overall info on the system, like how many proxies are active, and how many bluetooth devices are visible. Another contribution from @Lash-L!

🎯 Easier Device Selection

• @Lash-L has added the device manufacturer name (where available) to the device name selector, making it a little easier to track down your desired devices when configuring Bermuda. These are based on the assigned manufacturer service UIDs.

🩹 Fixes

• fix: Entities not updating if away at startup @agittins (#269)
• fix: Absent devices now show as "Away" on startup @agittins (#270)
• Stability and performance clean-ups @agittins (#358) which should help with some performance issues / lockups on some systems.

Changes

Lots of good behind-the-scenes updates like tests and and coding standards to make Bermuda more robust, many from @Lash-L again!

v0.6.8 - The HelpMeHelpYou release

This release is focussed on providing more useful diagnostics and quality-of-life improvements for fresh installs.

📈 SITREP

The Config dialog now shows a summary of how many Bluetooth scanners and Bluetooth devices Bermuda can see in the system, and how many of those have been seen in the last 10 seconds. This helps you know if the bluetooth backend is working and sending through data, which is something to which HA doesn't always give the best visibility. I've also added some help text in the "Configure Devices" setup page.

🔍 Diagnostics

Bermuda also now has a "Download Diagnostics" item in its options menu, which will give you a json file containing heaps of potentially useful diagnostic information, in json format. This data is "redacted" meaning it should not contain any of your MAC addresses. However, rather than just replacing them with asterisks or similar, it creates a per-file-consistent moniker for each address which will make troubleshooting easier by enabling cross-referencing between entries, without disclosing actual addresses. The idea is to create something safe for you to upload to a github issue that's still informative enough for me to analyse - but you might find it an excellent tool for your own troubleshooting as well.

🔢 Like a Version

Display of the integration version number should now be fixed, with the integration's version number (hopefully!) showing up in the main Bermuda page in HA. I won't know for sure if that works until github processes this release, but fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

📜 Signs of Wikiness

There have also been recent changes to the Wiki (yes, there's a wiki!) with advice on how to keep database sizes down and some initial guidance on troubleshooting.

🆘 Call for help

A few people have experienced serious performance issues unrelated to the recent async changes. At this stage I think that another integration is creating tens of thousands of "new" bluetooth records in HA's backend, and this is causing those systems to get bogged down as Bermuda tries to process them all. In one case, over 60 thousand devices were showing up - Bermuda automatically purges so it only keeps about a thousand of the most recent entries, but these entries kept being flagged up as new.

If you've experienced something similar, or might have an idea of which integration(s) might be causing this I'd love to hear from you so I might try and replicate the issue locally. #234

v0.6.7 - Fix for HA 2024.6.0 lockup adding devices

Significant change here is avoiding a race condition exposed by HA 2024.6.0 (from beta6). This was seen when adding a configured device to Bermuda, the dialog would hang spinning waiting for the config flow to apply, and the HA server would loop infinitely restarting Bermuda. Huge thanks to @andreasbrett for raising the issue before the HA release and submitting a comprehensive bug report - much appreciated!

This release also includes the current MAC address for any iBeacons being selected in the Configure Devices config flow. This should make it easier to find and identify devices while setting things up.

Changes

• Fix!: race condition in 2024.6.0b6 @agittins (#211)
• feat: Add MAC address to iBeacon listings in configure
• fix: Don't restore scanner options from saved device
  • We store the options struct along with the cached scanner entries in entry.data. Prevent restoring it, since it overwrites
    newer options set by config. Only affects display of data in the dump_devices service, but might become important if we
    operate using those values later.
• fix: Ignore disabled PrivateBLE devices

📦 Dependencies

• chore(deps): bump ruff from 0.4.4 to 0.4.7 @dependabot (#208)
• chore(deps): bump reorder-python-imports from 3.12.0 to 3.13.0 in /.github/workflows @dependabot (#209)
• chore(deps): bump ruff from 0.4.7 to 0.4.8 @dependabot (#212)

v0.6.6 - Better device selection and Fewer crashes!

This release features:

• 🚨 Hopefully fewer crashes :-/ Since 2024.5 we've seen a lot more thread/async related issues like all of HA bogging down or locking up. This has been tricky to fault-find because it only shows up on some systems, and seemingly rarely on mine. This release includes two fixes that will hopefully eliminate (or at least reduce) these instances.
• Device selection in configuration now uses Bermuda's own full list of devices, instead of just the recent devices from the bluetooth backend. Hopefully this will solve some issues people have had finding their devices, or maybe it won't. Note that PrivateBLE devices are not chosen per se, they will always be configured. The list now also indicates if a device is using a so-called "Random MAC" as a warning that tracking that particular MAC address may be futile. The list is also sorted with iBecons first, then static addresses, then random addresses.
• Config flow (more accurately the options flow, via the configure button(!)) is now set up with sub-menus, because soon we will have too many options to fit on one page :-)
