Draws significant inspiration (and direct styling) from
https://github.com/dermotduffy/advanced-camera-card/pull/2447 . Thank
you @Maudfer !
BREAKING CHANGE:
The microphone condition previously bundled two unrelated signals —
whether a two-way-audio session was connected and whether the microphone
was muted. Connection state is now its own dedicated call condition, and
microphone is reserved purely for mute state. Configs are upgraded
automatically (the card rewrites affected conditions under overrides,
elements, and automations). If you maintain config by hand, convert as
follows:
If you only used connected:
# Before
```yaml
condition: microphone
connected: true
```
# After
```yaml
condition: call
call: true
```
If you used both connected and muted — they must be split into two
conditions, since they no longer live together:
# Before
```yaml
condition: microphone
connected: true
muted: false
```
# After
```yaml
condition: and
conditions:
- condition: call
call: true
- condition: microphone
muted: false
```
- Add support for Frigate reviews / detections.
- Add support for GenAI metadata.
- Significant internal refactor to more flexible "UnifiedQuery" to allow
mixing cameras with simple metadata and review metadata (e.g. a timeline
view of a Frigate camera with reviews, and a Reolink camera with simple
metadata).
- Add support for folder media as camera media.
There are a few more PRs to commit prior to this going live, but
commiting this for now due to the scale of the change.
BREAKING CHANGE: `media_type` and `events_type` are retired under
`live`, `viewer` and `timeline` configuration sections, instead media
type is associated (once) with the camera under `media`.
- Much improved API cleanliness and testability to allow further
extensibility in future
- Simplified code in `live` view
This technically contains a small change in how overrides work in the
`live` view. Since that change is _closer_ to the documentation, and
since this is likely to be rarely used, this is not considered a
breaking change. Previously, overrides for a given live camera would
always render _as if_ that camera was selected, vs was actually
selected. Now, overrides will only apply in the live view when the
camera is _actually_ selected. If this is an issue for you in practice,
lets discuss.
Whilst the Frigate support in this card is the best among camera
engines, the name incorrectly suggests that Frigate is a requirement.
Instead, to broaden the appeal, change to more camera agnostic name.
This does not suggest any change in priority, role or support for
Frigate.
This change is likely to be bug prone, due to the size of the rename --
the code contains 1500+ references to "Frigate" most of which make sense
to rename, some which do not, all of which needed human assessment.
- Closes#1298
BREAKING CHANGE: References to `frigate-card` in all kinds of
configuration need to be updated to `advanced-camera-card`. An automated
config upgrade should take care of the majority of usecases (click `Edit
-> Upgrade -> Save`), though may not be perfect.
This is a fairly non-trivial change in terms of consequence, so a greater than average chance something breaks. This is necessary since some cameras (e.g. Reolink) are materially slower to fetch media, and this change substantially improves card responsiveness.
