🎉 What's in this release

This is a minor release that fixes a validation issue that caused the integration to stop working for users with at least one charger they only have the User role for. See issue #357

In addition, it also fixes an issue where calls to the localSettings-API triggered an error on validating the response. See issue #354

🌻 What's Changed

• Remove incorrect or too restrictive validations by @steinmn in #355
• Release v0.8.6 by @sveinse in #358

Full Changelog: v0.8.5...v0.8.6

🎉 What's in this release

This is a minor release that fixes a bug in the setting of the Min/Max current of a charger.

This update is required to be able to run on HA Core 2025.11+.

🌻 What's Changed

• Fix incorrect validation model for charger update by @steinmn in #352
• Release v0.8.5 by @steinmn in #353

Full Changelog: v0.8.4...v0.8.5

🎉 What's in this release

This is a minor release that is required to be able to run on HA Core 2025.11+.

It contains minor fixes for pydantic validation (checks of the data from Zaptec portal) and increases the test coverage.

🌻 What's Changed

• Add known Energy dashboard issue to readme by @steinmn in #333
• Update pydantic to 2.12 by @steinmn in #338
• Add CHANGELOG.md for keeping important release notes by @steinmn in #334
• Skip attribute initialisation when firmware info is missing by @feliciaan in #324
• Disable more ruff-errors HA core is also ignoring by @steinmn in #340
• Do not call get on completed_session unless it's a dict by @steinmn in #344
• Fix bug in state redaction and add full test coverage for redact.py by @steinmn in #339
• Release v0.8.4 by @sveinse in #350

Full Changelog: v0.8.3...v0.8.4

🎉 What's in this release

This is a release which primarily fixes an issue that caused the integration to stop working when being used by a user that doesn't have admin rights. See #320 for more information.

The release fixes compatibility with HA Core 2025.10+. Older versions of Zaptec will not work with newer HA versions and must be upgraded to this version. The minimum HA version compatible with this integration is 2025.7.

This release also introduces Norwegian translations, both bokmål and nynorsk language variants. There is a lot of ongoing efforts to improve the code quality, testability and structure of the integration. Most of this work is behind the scenes and should not affect the usage of it.

Full Changelog: v0.8.2...v0.8.3b1

🎉 What's in this release

This release is a minor release, fixing a few critical issue regarding

• Fix error in limit_current service call, which is used by blueprints
• Adding documentation that the v0.8.x releases breaks the blueprints

If you're coming from v0.7.x, I recommend reading the release notes for v0.8.1 as well.

What's Changed

• Reclassify entities from diagnostic to config where appropriate by @steinmn in #281
• Avoid limit_current service call passing None-values and clarify error messages by @steinmn in #284
• Add more explicit typing by @steinmn in #261
• Use HTTPStatus instead of hardcoded numbers by @steinmn in #285
• Add explanation of resume_charging-limitations by @steinmn in #282
• Add breaking changes warning about blueprint by @steinmn in #288

Full Changelog: v0.8.1...v0.8.2

🎉 What's in this release

The v0.8.1 is a major release with a lot of changes. The integration has been completely redesigned and may impact your existing automations.

The main goal of this release has been to adopt the Zaptec API Fair Use policy. The mechanism for synchronizing HA entities with the Zaptec portal has been made more robust. It reduces the number of requests to Zaptec and fixes the issues of getting "429 Too many requests" -- especially on larger installations.

✨ Feature highlight

• New system for polling and updating information in HA (see #202)
  • Chargers are polled every 10 minutes in idle, while every minute when charging
  • General device information is polled every hour
  • Firmware version updates are polled once per day
• Implemented request rate limiter to avoid "429 Too many requests"
• Automatic polling from Zaptec after any button or value changes from HA to update the UI more quickly
• Change charger settings to use the official settings API
• Prevent sending pause/resume when not in the correct charging mode
• Support for reconfiguring the integration and integration reload now works
• Many internal changes and cleanups to classes and methods, including better logging
• Add support for 3 to 1-phase switching (PRO and Go 2 changers only) - NEW in v0.8.1

The full list of changes is available in CHANGELOG.md

⚠️ Breaking changes

• charger_mode has changed values. E.g. from "Charging" to "connected_charging" due to using the lower-case native Zaptec values. Your automation might need an update.
• permanent_cable_lock has changed from "lock" type to "switch" type.
• There is no longer support for configuring Zaptec by YAML, only using the UI
• The user setting poll/scan interval has been removed, in favor of the improved polling system
• The "Circuit" device and entity, notably "Max Current", have been removed
• Service/action calls to named commands, such as "resume_charging" are now deprecated in favor of the button entities. They will be removed in a later release.

ℹ️ Known issues

• Sending a "deauthorize_and_stop" command will give an error. This is due to Zaptec sending back error code 500 (internal server error). However, the command seems to execute the task, despite the error.
• Setting custom poll intervals, like described here, will have unexpected effects. If the automatic polling is turned off, not all the data in the integration will update properly.

Full Changelog: v0.7.4...v0.8.0

🎉 What's in this BETA release

The v0.8 is a major release with a lot of changes. The integration has been completely redesigned and may impact your existing automations.

The main goal of this release has been to adopt to the Zaptec API Fair Use policy. The mechanism for synchronizing HA entities with the Zaptec portal has been made more robust. This reduces the number of requests to Zaptec and fixes the issues of getting "429 Too many request" -- especially on larger installations.

The biggest highlight of this release is to fix using the integration on systems where one does not have full access to the installation.

What's Changed

• Replace unavailable common string-keys with the translated strings by @steinmn in #245
• Update dev container with latest reference by @sveinse in #246
• Updated ruff settings and fixed the simplest errors in the code by @sveinse in #247
