v1.2.0 - Feature Updates

Feature Release v1.2.0

This release expands your monitoring capabilities with support for submitting voltage data to PVOutput.

100% Backwards Compatible You can safely update to this version without breaking your current configuration. Your existing database keys and sensors will migrate automatically. If you choose not to configure the new voltage sensor, the integration will simply continue uploading your current metrics exactly as before.

New Features & Improvements

Voltage Tracking (v6 Payload): You can now map a Voltage Sensor via the UI options. Whether you want to track your local grid voltage or your inverter's operational lines, selecting this sensor will automatically format and upload the data to PVOutput's v6 metric, giving you deeper visibility into your system's overall health.

Internal Changes

• Updated branding images.
• Added test coverage.

How to Upgrade

Once you download the update and restart Home Assistant, your existing system will continue running normally.

To take advantage of the new voltage tracking feature:

1. Go to Settings > Devices & Services.
2. Find the PVOutput Publisher integration and click Configure.
3. Select the option to edit your existing System.
4. You will see a new optional Voltage Sensor field. Select your grid or inverter voltage entity here.
5. Save and close!

v1.1.0 - Feature Updates

Feature Release v1.1.0

This release introduces improvements to data accuracy, upload timing, and expanded localization.

100% Backwards Compatible You can safely update to this version without breaking your current configuration. Your existing database keys and sensors will migrate automatically. If you choose not to add a secondary sensor, the integration will gracefully fall back to its previous estimation logic.

New Features & Improvements

Maximum Accuracy (Dual-Sensor Support): You can now configure a Secondary Solar Sensor via the UI options. By mapping both a live Power (W) sensor and an accumulating Energy (Wh) sensor, the integration will upload both metrics simultaneously. This completely bypasses PVOutput's backend estimation algorithms, delivering a lag-free live power curve and perfectly accurate daily yields.

Strict Clock-Aligned Scheduling: Uploads are now strictly locked to exact wall-clock intervals (e.g., :00, :05, :10). This entirely eliminates data drift caused by Home Assistant restarts and perfectly aligns your data with PVOutput's native 5-minute tracking buckets.

Relaxed Temperature Sensor Restrictions: Removed strict device-class filtering on the temperature selector. You can now map a much wider variety of weather integrations, local climate sensors, and custom entities to the v5 temperature payload.

New Translations: Full UI support has been added for both Traditional Chinese (zh-Hant) and Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans).

How to Upgrade

Once you download the update and restart Home Assistant, your existing system will continue running normally.

To take advantage of the new dual-sensor accuracy feature:

Go to Settings > Devices & Services.

Find the PVOutput Publisher integration and click Configure. Edit an existing System.

You will see a new optional Secondary Solar Sensor field.

If your primary sensor is Power (W), select your Energy (Wh) sensor here (or vice versa). Save and close!
