demo.houseplan.tech with demo/demo — a real HA anyone can break, it heals
itself hourly. Placed above the feature list: 'try it now' converts better
than any bullet.
Owner's rule, agreed 2026-07-29 after a field report (a lamp turned off by
tap looked different from one turned off by the wall switch):
- a lamp's colour lives ONLY in its glow. The v1.27 RGB tint of the icon,
border and shadow is deleted — that tint was the fork: with colour data
the lamp rendered dark-with-coloured-icon, without it plain yellow, and
the same lamp crossed the fork depending on how it was switched.
- in glow fill the indicator IS the spot: a source's badge stays standard,
lit or not (litLightEntity — the exact condition that casts the spot —
gates the suppression, so a lit socket keeps its yellow even in glow).
- in every other fill a lit source is plain yellow, like a heating TRV.
- icon morphing stays everywhere; the ripple colour still falls back to the
light colour (both explicitly confirmed by the owner).
smoke_light_badges covers the whole table (8 assertions); smoke_rgb_alarm
re-asserted: no rgb class, lit lamp yellow, ripple fallback keeps the
colour. README colour language updated. Inventory: 147 / 51 / 43 / 70.
A sweep of every document against the shipped behaviour:
- README en+ru: the space dialog no longer claims a background is mandatory
(draw-by-hand and the saved-plans picker exist; the canvas is square);
'Show all devices' sections rewritten for the hide-flag world — the
checkbox, 'Show hidden' ghosts, LQI-yes/light-no; troubleshooting updated.
- ARCHITECTURE: the config schema block still described v1.3 —
aspect/device_overrides/virtual_devices/1000x1000-per-aspect/legacy-bundle
fallback, all long gone. Rewritten to the current shape (square canvas,
markers with hidden, filter_seeded, quotas, signed urls). The WS table
dropped houseplan/file/set (removed in v1.10.0) and gained
geometry/repair, layout/delete, files/migrate, files/cleanup,
content/sign, the plans/list cap.
- UX-MODES: the Devices-tab tool list names the checkbox and the local
'Show hidden' instead of the retired shared show-all.
- ROADMAP: repair-issues, system_health, floors import, data icon rules,
click actions, theming and JSON i18n were done releases ago — checked off
with their versions; the HACS pointer is #9004 (bot closed#8995).
- STATUS: SSH port is 22222 and the HA config root is
/mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant (/config does not exist there); the
key lives in houseplan/.secrets; the PAT note reflects the fine-grained
token; the feature surface gained the v1.42-v1.51 era.
- DEVELOPMENT: deploy instructions with the real port, path and cache
busting.
- The owner's product description (user folder) refreshed the same way:
square canvas, hide flags, the yellow principle.
Research on the owner's install (verified live): the radiator heads that
glowed yellow were the ones with SCALE PROTECTION on, and the ones actually
heating stayed dark. Cause: the primary-entity search ran domains outside
tiers, and switch outranks climate — so a vendor's config switch (anti
scaling, child lock) became the device's primary, driving the color, the
icon morphing and tap-toggle alike.
The principle now: yellow = the device is doing its main job RIGHT NOW.
- primaryEntity: tiers outside, domains inside — a service entity never
beats the visible main function; a hidden lamp still beats a visible
config switch (grouped lights), and a plug's switch stays primary.
- climate joins the state table: yellow by hvac_action (heating/cooling/
drying/fan) — 'which radiators are heating', not 'enabled for winter';
the coarser state is only a fallback when the integration reports no
action.
- one truth for light: litLightEntity() is asked by BOTH the glow pool and
the icon color, in every fill mode — the pool and the icon can no longer
disagree. The 'is a light source' flag keeps counting controls first.
- README (en+ru): the color table, in words.
Tests: TRV + plug primary units, litLightEntity unit, smoke_yellow_principle
(heating yellow / idle dark / off dark / fallback / lit-light wins / forced
source). Inventory: 142 / 51 / 43 / 67.
- 10 most recent releases translated; older entries stay English-only
- policy updated in STATUS.md and CONTRIBUTING: user-visible changes go
into BOTH changelogs in the same commit (the user base is largely
Russian-speaking — see the Telegram chat)
- cross-links between the two files and from both READMEs
- badges + header line in README.md / README.ru.md
- 'Getting help & sharing your plan' section in both READMEs, asking for
the version number when reporting (console banner / integration page)
- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml contact links (chat + discussions)
- CONTRIBUTING 'Where to ask'; STATUS (community row) and SCOPE (field
feedback source)
Visuals borrowed from easy-floorplan (github.com/nicosandller/easy-floorplan), model kept ours.
isActiveState is independent of the live_states toggle; unavailable/unknown count as idle.
Honours prefers-reduced-motion. Badges scale with --dev-size. +1 test (74).
- fix: Split snaps the click to the room's nearest wall instead of the grid, so
it works on non-grid-aligned rooms (imported/legacy polygons); the pull is
capped (~6 cells) so accidental mid-room clicks stay a miss; splitRoom() still
rejects a bad cut. closestPointOnBoundary() + unit test.
- docs: README (en+ru) documents Merge/Split/ruler/per-space scale (were undocumented);
TESTING.md merge/split rows + fresh self-run; new smokes smoke_merge_split,
smoke_split_nonsnap (incl. the capped-pull case).
- 73 frontend + 12 backend tests green; module eval + both cards register.
- floors wizard: spaces from the HA floor registry, step-by-step with mandatory
plan upload per floor, skip support, auto-markup after the last one
- icon rules as data (settings.icon_rules) + in-card editor with live test,
invalid-regex guard, bilingual defaults, device_class fallback chain
- tap_action (card) + per-device override; security model: card-wide toggle only
for light/switch/fan/humidifier, explicit override for covers, never lock/alarm;
600ms long-press always opens the info card
- i18n dictionaries → src/i18n/*.json (+parity tests); light-theme badge fixes
- frontend tests 15→28
- All card UI strings moved to src/i18n.ts (en/ru); language follows the HA
profile automatically, new 'language: en|ru' card option forces it; GUI
editor localized and got the language dropdown; generated device names
localized via BuildCtx.loc.
- English-only codebase: comments, docstrings, test names, backend error
messages and logs. Russian remains only in the ru dictionary, ru.json,
iconFor regexes matching Russian device names (+their fixtures) and README.ru.md.
- Docs English-first: README (EN) + README.ru.md, ARCHITECTURE/DEVELOPMENT/
ROADMAP/CHANGELOG fully translated; translations/en.json had Russian - fixed.
- Removed obsolete RELEASE_NOTES_v1.9.3.md and scripts_publish.sh.
