Two fixes in all 4 home_connect_alt blueprints:
1. home_connect_alt.start_program uses its own `device_id` field (not HA's
standard target mechanism) and `program_key` (not `program`). The
previous `target: entity_id:` was silently ignored, causing the service
call to fail due to missing required `device_id`. Fixed by:
- Removing `target: entity_id:` block
- Adding `data.device_id: "{{ device_id(program_entity) }}"`
- Renaming `program:` to `program_key:`
- Adding `| int` filter to numeric option values
2. Same remote_start_sensor description fix as the non-alt variants
(RemoteControlActive → RemoteControlStartAllowed).
Also reset blueprint version from v2.0.0 to v1.0.0.
Release-Notes: skip
Released-Bug: no
The input field described the wrong binary sensor entity. The automation
correctly triggers on `RemoteControlStartAllowed`, but the label and
description still referenced `RemoteControlActive`.
Updated all 4 home_connect (non-alt) blueprints:
- dishwasher_home_connect.yaml
- washing_machine_home_connect.yaml
- dryer_home_connect.yaml
- laundry_day_pipeline_home_connect.yaml
Also reset blueprint version from v2.0.0 to v1.0.0 (version was bumped
prematurely, blueprints not yet released).
Release-Notes: skip
Released-Bug: no
Add `include_current_interval` parameter to `find_cheapest_block` and
`find_cheapest_schedule` services, controlling whether the currently
active price interval can be the start of the selected window.
Add power-profile weighting to `find_cheapest_contiguous_window`: accepts
an optional `power_profile` list that weights each interval's price by
relative power draw (e.g. heat-up phase heavier than steady state). Without
a profile the behaviour is unchanged (uniform weighting).
Extend search-range tests and add price-window unit tests covering weighted
and unweighted scenarios, edge cases, and sequential scheduling interactions.
Update scheduling-actions documentation with parameter and profile examples.
Impact: Users can now model appliances with non-uniform power draw (e.g. heat
pumps, washing machines) to find truly cheapest windows based on actual energy
cost rather than average price.
Bundle automation and script blueprints into the integration and
install them automatically at HA startup via _install_blueprints().
Remove them cleanly when the last config entry is removed.
Automation blueprints (standalone):
- dishwasher, washing_machine, dryer — smart plug and Home Connect
variants (HC: door/remote-start sensors; HC Alt: program selector)
Automation blueprints (pipeline):
- laundry_day_pipeline — chains washer → dryer for multiple loads,
HC and HC Alt variants
Other automation blueprints:
- ev_charging, heat_pump_price_level, heat_pump_smart_boost,
home_battery, water_heater, laundry_day_pipeline (smart plug)
Script blueprint:
- notify_residents — presence-aware dispatcher for up to 10 residents
with auto-discovered mobile_app notify services, iOS/Android push
settings, and per-resident notify overrides
Notification UX across all blueprints:
- Apple Watch-optimised titles (~25 chars) and messages (most
important info first, middle-dot separators, emoji anchors)
- Customisable notification titles via blueprint inputs (standalone)
- Comma-separated notify services for simple multi-target delivery
- Advanced script path for presence filtering and platform push data
Impact: Users get ready-to-use blueprints installed automatically
with the integration for scheduling appliances during cheap Tibber
price windows. No manual import required.
