v1.0.0-beta2

1.0.0

Known Targets Configuration

• Restructured from 2 fixed groups ("known" and "dangerous") to a flexible groups structure, so any number of groups can be created, for example "family","postman","delivery","utility"
  • Groups can have an icon,entity_id and priority, targets will inherit these if they don't have their own, or leave empty at group level and populate only on group members
  • Existing config using known or dangerous will be translated at runtime to new structure
• correction lists of patterns or strings can now be added directly to target
• auto_match_tolerance now moved to Event config
• API lookup can be configured at target or group level, defaults to off, since vehicles already known

Target specific sensors in Home Assistant

• Groups and individual targets can be given an entity_id and a sensor will be created in Home Assistant using MQTT discovery
  • State for the sensor will be timestamp of last sighting, and combined past history will be attributes
  • Any number of vehicles can be combined in a single sensor, so for example see last post vehicle detected, even if several come to the property
• Targets can now be more than a simple string - currently description and entity_id supported

Time Analysis

• Previous sightings now have a richer set of analysis, with histogram data by visit hour of day, earliest/latest times

Home Assistant

• Improved example automation
• Icon now configurable in the Event config, previously fixed at mdi:car-back

Internals and Fixes

• Corrected example configurations
• Refactored internally to a Sighting class and a more complete Target definition, replacing ad hoc dicts
