Consolidate logic for determining current price phase and associated attributes by introducing shared helper functions. This enhances code maintainability and reduces duplication across components.
Impact: Improved clarity and efficiency in price phase handling for users.
Remove the DATA_STATISTICS_REVIEW_REQUIRED flag and all associated
persistence logic. The flag approach was over-engineered: we cannot
detect whether the Recorder statistics have been fixed, and requiring
the user to re-save display settings as acknowledgement is bad UX.
New design: show the repair notice once when the mode changes.
The user dismisses it when done reviewing. The HA Recorder will
independently show its own unit-change dialog — that is sufficient.
Changes:
- Remove DATA_STATISTICS_REVIEW_REQUIRED constant from const.py
- Remove _check_statistics_review_repair() from __init__.py
- Remove ir import from __init__.py (no longer needed there)
- Remove flag set/clear logic from options_flow.py
- Change is_persistent=False (no restart persistence needed)
- Update all 5 translations: restore simple "Dismiss this notice" ending
Add UP037 to ruff ignore list to preserve quoted TYPE_CHECKING forward
references (PEP 649 lazy eval breaks get_type_hints() at runtime for
TYPE_CHECKING-guarded imports).
Move datetime imports into TYPE_CHECKING blocks in sensor/calculators
timing.py and trend.py (TC003, type-only usage confirmed).
Apply PEP 758 parenthesis-free except clauses across 7 files via
ruff format with target-version=py314.
Update hacs.json minimum HA version to 2026.4.0, the first HA release
requiring Python 3.14.
Impact: Linter config now correctly handles Python 3.14 semantics.
Users need HA >= 2026.4 (Python 3.14) to use this integration.
Convert best_price and peak_price timing sensors to display in hours (UI-friendly)
while retaining minute values in attributes (automation-friendly). This improves
readability in dashboards by using Home Assistant's automatic duration formatting
"1 h 35 min" instead of decimal "1.58 h".
BREAKING CHANGE: State unit changed from minutes to hours for 6 timing sensors.
Affected sensors:
* best_price_period_duration, best_price_remaining_minutes, best_price_next_in_minutes
* peak_price_period_duration, peak_price_remaining_minutes, peak_price_next_in_minutes
Migration guide for users:
- If your automations use {{ state_attr(..., 'remaining_time') }} or similar:
No action needed - attribute values remain in minutes
- If your automations use {{ states('sensor.best_price_remaining_minutes') }} directly:
Update to use the minute attribute instead: {{ state_attr('sensor.best_price_remaining_minutes', 'remaining_minutes') }}
- If your dashboards display the state value:
Values now show as "1 h 35 min" instead of "95" - this is the intended improvement
- If your templates do math with the state: multiply by 60 to convert hours back to minutes
Before: remaining * 60
After: remaining_minutes (use attribute directly)
Implementation details:
- Timing sensors now use device_class=DURATION, unit=HOURS, precision=2
- State values converted from minutes to hours via _minutes_to_hours()
- New minute-precision attributes added for automation compatibility:
* period_duration_minutes (for checking if period is long enough)
* remaining_minutes (for countdown-based automation logic)
* next_in_minutes (for time-to-event automation triggers)
- Translation improvements across all 5 languages (en, de, nb, nl, sv):
* Descriptions now clarify state in hours vs attributes in minutes
* Long descriptions explain dual-format architecture
* Usage tips updated to reference minute attributes for automations
* All translation files synchronized (fixed order, removed duplicates)
- Type safety: Added type assertions (cast) for timing calculator results to
satisfy Pyright type checking (handles both float and datetime return types)
Home Assistant now automatically formats these durations as "1 h 35 min" for improved
UX, matching the behavior of battery.remaining_time and other duration sensors.
Rationale for breaking change:
The previous minute-based state was unintuitive for users ("95 minutes" doesn't
immediately convey "1.5 hours") and didn't match Home Assistant's standard duration
formatting. The new hour-based state with minute attributes provides:
- Better UX: Automatic "1 h 35 min" formatting in UI
- Full automation compatibility: Minute attributes for all calculation needs
- Consistency: Matches HA's duration sensor pattern (battery, timer, etc.)
Impact: Timing sensors now display in human-readable hours with full backward
compatibility via minute attributes. Users relying on direct state access must
migrate to minute attributes (simple change, documented above).
Introduce TimeService as single source of truth for all datetime operations,
replacing direct dt_util calls throughout the codebase. This establishes
consistent time context across update cycles and enables future time-travel
testing capability.
Core changes:
- NEW: coordinator/time_service.py with timezone-aware datetime API
- Coordinator now creates TimeService per update cycle, passes to calculators
- Timer callbacks (#2, #3) inject TimeService into entity update flow
- All sensor calculators receive TimeService via coordinator reference
- Attribute builders accept time parameter for timestamp calculations
Key patterns replaced:
- dt_util.now() → time.now() (single reference time per cycle)
- dt_util.parse_datetime() + as_local() → time.get_interval_time()
- Manual interval arithmetic → time.get_interval_offset_time()
- Manual day boundaries → time.get_day_boundaries()
- round_to_nearest_quarter_hour() → time.round_to_nearest_quarter()
Import cleanup:
- Removed dt_util imports from ~30 files (calculators, attributes, utils)
- Restricted dt_util to 3 modules: time_service.py (operations), api/client.py
(rate limiting), entity_utils/icons.py (cosmetic updates)
- datetime/timedelta only for TYPE_CHECKING (type hints) or duration arithmetic
Interval resolution abstraction:
- Removed hardcoded MINUTES_PER_INTERVAL constant from 10+ files
- New methods: time.minutes_to_intervals(), time.get_interval_duration()
- Supports future 60-minute resolution (legacy data) via TimeService config
Timezone correctness:
- API timestamps (startsAt) already localized by data transformation
- TimeService operations preserve HA user timezone throughout
- DST transitions handled via get_expected_intervals_for_day() (future use)
Timestamp ordering preserved:
- Attribute builders generate default timestamp (rounded quarter)
- Sensors override when needed (next interval, daily midnight, etc.)
- Platform ensures timestamp stays FIRST in attribute dict
Timer integration:
- Timer #2 (quarter-hour): Creates TimeService, calls _handle_time_sensitive_update(time)
- Timer #3 (30-second): Creates TimeService, calls _handle_minute_update(time)
- Consistent time reference for all entities in same update batch
Time-travel readiness:
- TimeService.with_reference_time() enables time injection (not yet used)
- All calculations use time.now() → easy to simulate past/future states
- Foundation for debugging period calculations with historical data
Impact: Eliminates timestamp drift within update cycles (previously 60+ independent
dt_util.now() calls could differ by milliseconds). Establishes architecture for
time-based testing and debugging features.
