Manual testing checklist

Policy: this checklist is updated in the same commit as any functional change (like CHANGELOG.md). Every release: run at least the smoke column on the synthetic demo (demo/), and the full list before major releases. Items marked [auto] are covered by unit tests or the headless smokes in demo/ — they still deserve an occasional eyeball. File every failure as a GitHub issue before fixing.

Environments matrix

Run the core flows (marked ★ below) in each environment at least once per minor release:

• Chrome / Edge (desktop, Windows or Linux)
• Firefox (desktop) — SVG viewBox math and container queries differ historically
• Safari (macOS) — pointer events / pinch behavior
• HA Companion app, Android (cold start! the v1.7.2 race lived here)
• HA Companion app, iOS
• Tablet in kiosk/panel mode (wall-tablet scenario, landscape)
• Phone portrait, narrow ≤400 px (adaptive header ≤620 px)
• Dark theme and light theme (badges, dialogs, plan contrast)
• RU profile locale and EN profile locale (+ language: card option forcing each)

Installation / upgrade / removal

• Fresh install via HACS custom repository → integration appears, card auto-registers as a Lovelace resource (?v= matches manifest); no manual resource setup
• single_config_entry: adding a second entry is impossible [auto]
• Upgrade via HACS: ?v= bumps after HA restart, browser picks the new bundle without cache clearing
• YAML-mode Lovelace: falls back to extra_module_url (card loads)
• Removal: delete entry → Lovelace resource entry disappears; .storage/houseplan.* survives; reinstall picks the old config up
• Diagnostics download works; personal fields (name/link/description/pdfs) are **REDACTED** [auto]

Modes (v1.25.0) ★

• The card always loads in View; edit modes are never restored [auto]
• View: pan/zoom/space-switch/tap/long-press/tooltips only — dragging an icon, label or opening does nothing; panning may start on top of an icon [auto]
• View header: space tabs + count + zoom + mode tabs, ZERO edit buttons [auto]
• Plan: markup toolbar, space gears, +space, ⚙ palette; device icons hidden, labels/openings draggable; orange stage frame [auto]
• Devices: icon drag works, click opens the marker editor directly; +/👁/↺/⬡ buttons; accent stage frame [auto]
• Mode tabs hidden for non-admin users; segmented control highlights the active mode
• Openings in View (v1.28.1): the door/window itself is a pure drawing — no cursor change, no hover outline, no hit target, no click, regardless of bindings [auto]
• The LOCK BADGE is the one exception: when a lock is bound it is shown and clickable in View (pointer cursor, click → door/lock info card); inert in Plan so it does not fight editing [auto]
• Device icons in View show a pointer cursor (no grab); grab only in the Devices mode [auto]
• In Plan an opening is interactive: grab cursor, hover outline, drag along walls, click (any tool) opens its properties [auto]

Onboarding ★

• Empty config, HA has floors → floors-import wizard offers them sorted by level [auto]
• Wizard: uncheck all → "Create" disabled; "Start from scratch" → classic dialog
• Wizard: N floors → space dialog per floor with prefilled name and progress "i of N"; Skip skips one; Cancel aborts the whole queue [auto]
• After the last wizard space (or first manual space) → markup mode auto-opens with a toast
• Empty config, no floors → classic "New space" dialog auto-opens once per session
• All floors skipped, nothing created → empty state with "Add space" button remains usable

Spaces ★

• Create with an image (SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP) → correct aspect, crisp at zoom (SVG)
• Oversized plan (>8 MB) → readable error toast, dialog stays open
• Create with "No image — I'll outline rooms by hand": orientation landscape/portrait/square respected [auto]; borders+names default ON [auto]
• Draw-space (no background) renders a WHITE canvas (paper-like), markup works on it; room borders/names stay legible on white [auto]
• Edit: rename; replace image; switch image→draw detaches the plan [auto]
• Delete space with rooms/devices → tab disappears, layout of other spaces untouched
• Display settings: borders toggle, names toggle, color picker + opacity slider live-preview after save, fill selector [auto]
• Fill "zigbee": rooms tint red→green by average LQI; rooms without zigbee stay unfilled [auto]
• Fill "lights": yellow when any light on, grey when all off, unfilled when the room has no lights [auto]; toggling a light from the plan recolors the room
• Fill "temperature": blue below the comfort range, green inside, yellow above [auto]; comfort bounds editable inline on the radio row (swapped bounds tolerated [auto], clearing a field cannot zero a bound [auto]); rooms without a temperature reading stay unfilled [auto]
• Fill mode is a radio group (no dropdown); labels carry no color legend
• Room hover darkens the current fill (no recolor to blue); unfilled rooms hover light grey
• Room tooltip shows the average room temperature when any thermometer reports [auto]
• Average room temperature counts ONLY thermometer/air-monitor devices — fridges, TRV heads, smart-plug chip temperatures (*_device_temperature) and diagnostic-category temps are excluded [auto]
• Space dialog is 500 px wide; the comfort-bounds inputs are compact (56 px)
• The scale (cm per cell) input is compact (72 px), not full-width [auto]
• General settings (⚙ in the header): fill colors grouped by mode (lights on/off/none, temp cold/comfy/hot, LQI weak/strong), each with its own opacity slider [auto]; Reset restores defaults; saving defaults stores nothing [auto]
• Custom fill colors apply to the full card AND the static space-card
• LQI gradient interpolates between the configured weak/strong colors [auto]
• Per-space "Show zigbee signal (LQI)" toggle hides/shows the badges next to devices and the signal line in room tooltips for that space only [auto]
• Device icon badge is centred exactly on its point (no 1 px down-right drift) [auto]
• Device glyph is centred within its badge (no vertical drift — real ha-icon is block+line-height) [auto]
• Room hover highlight still works when custom borders/fills are on
• Settings persist across reload and other browsers (server-side)

Room markup editor ★

• Grid appears; dots snap; the outline draws pair-by-pair; shared walls reused
• Ruler: while drawing, the length of the current segment follows the cursor (metres, or feet+inches on an imperial HA); scale = space "cm per cell" (default 5)
• A line cannot exist on its own: start an outline, do NOT close it, leave markup — no lines are left behind (nothing was written to the config)
• Deleting a room removes its walls, EXCEPT those shared with a neighbouring room (the neighbour still yields them); deleting the neighbour too removes them as well
• There is no "Erase" tool in the markup toolbar (removed in v1.19.0)
• Rooms never overlap (v1.20.0): a click strictly inside an existing room is refused with a toast; a click ON a shared wall (including mid-span of a longer neighbour wall) still works
• Closing an outline drawn AROUND an existing room is refused; the outline stays open
• Merge (v1.21.0): two rooms sharing a wall merge into one; the dialog picks the surviving name/area; rooms touching only at a corner or apart are refused with a toast
• Split (v1.21.0): click a room, then two points on its walls — the bigger part keeps the name/area/devices, the smaller opens the new-room dialog; Cancel leaves the room whole
• Split: a cut with an end off the wall, or along a wall, is refused with a toast
• Split: the click snaps to the nearest wall, so it works on non-grid-aligned rooms (imported/legacy polygons), not only on rooms drawn on the current grid [auto]
• Split: a click far from any wall (middle of the room) is a miss with a toast — the wall-snap pull is capped, accidental clicks do not pick a wall [auto]
• Esc / Ctrl+Z removes the last dot (and its line); Reset clears the path
• Closing the contour (click the first dot, ≥4 points) opens the room dialog
• Room dialog: area list shows only unassigned areas; picking an area prefills the name
• "No area" room (decorative) requires a name; saves with area: null
• Cancel in the dialog reopens the contour (last point undone)
• Saving a room with an area: area devices appear with icons; positions are fixed into the layout [auto]
• Erase tool removes exactly the clicked line; Delete-room removes the polygon after confirm
• Device icons hidden during markup; visible again on exit

Devices on the plan ★

• Auto devices appear only in rooms bound to their area [auto]
• Curation hides bridges/groups/scenes/excluded integrations; 👁 "show all" reveals [auto]
• Duplicate "name|area" numbered ("Lamp", "Lamp 2") [auto]
• Light groups fold their single lamps; group_lights=false unfolds [auto]
• Drag anywhere (no edit mode), snaps to grid, persists after reload, per space
• ↺ reset restores auto layout after confirm
• Temperature badge on thermometers; LQI value under zigbee icons with red→green color
• Live states: light on = yellow, open cover/lock/door = orange, unavailable = faded
• State icons (v1.26.0): auto icons morph with state — door/window/garage open↔closed, lock locked↔unlocked, bulb on; custom icons and unavailable states never morph [auto]
• display "Value instead of an icon": the marker shows the measurement (°/%/unit) as its body, small badges hidden; non-numeric fallback keeps the icon [auto]
• RGB lights (v1.27.0): an on light with a color tints its icon/glow and the ripple (explicit ripple color still wins); off/white lights unchanged [auto]
• Alarm pulse (v1.27.0): leak/smoke/gas/CO/siren in 'on' pulse a red ring over any display mode; clears on 'off'; unavailable never alarms [auto]; reduced-motion static
• Hidden-light primary (v1.36.1): a lamp whose light entity is HIDDEN in the registry (folded into a light group) still toggles/reflects the lamp, not its do-not-disturb switch or identify button; visible entities of the same domain still win over hidden ones [manual: click hallway lamps]
• Marker controls (v1.36.0): a marker with "Controls light sources" and tap action Toggle flips all bound lights/switches at once (any on → all off, all off → all on, one service call); the icon and its RGB tint mirror the targets, not the marker's own entity; without explicit Toggle the click opens info as usual; the info card lists targets with states; locks/other domains are filtered out of controls [auto]
• Glow fill (v1.35.0): fill mode "Light sources" — every room painted with one uniform darkness color; lit lamps glow with a radial gradient (rgb_color → color temp → default color; brightness scales opacity), clipped by the source's room plus door sectors into NEIGHBOUR rooms (entrance doors leak nothing; windows don't spill); radius set in general settings in HA units (m/ft, stored in cm); no shadow casting — islands don't block light (documented limitation) [auto]
• Island rooms (v1.34.0): a contour drawn fully inside an existing room (or around one) saves as a nested room — column in a ring, inner room; the parent's fill renders with an evenodd hole so the ring paints correctly; the island stays clickable; partial overlaps and duplicate outlines are still rejected at closing [auto]
• Icon stays on edit (v1.33.4): rebinding a device (HA device/entity) or changing its room within the same space never moves the icon — the saved or auto position migrates to the new marker id; only a brand-new icon or a move to another space centers it in the target room [auto]
• Icon picker placeholder (v1.33.3): with no explicit icon the device dialog's icon picker shows the auto-derived icon as its placeholder, plus an "Auto: mdi:..." hint line with the icon preview; the hint disappears once an explicit icon is picked [auto]
• No Reset button (v1.33.2): the Device editor toolbar has three tools — add, show all, icon rules; the layout-wiping Reset is gone [auto]
• Grid in all editors + decor fade (v1.33.1): the dot grid shows in the Device and Background editors too (instant "I'm editing" cue), not in View; in the Background editor rooms/devices/openings/labels fade to 35% while decor shapes stay fully opaque; no fade in the other editors [auto]
• Background editor (v1.33.0): third tab with its own toolbar (select / line / rect / oval / text / erase + color, width, fill, X); shapes drag- drawn with grid snap and live preview; degenerate shapes dropped; text via dialog (S/M/L, color; dblclick re-edits); Select moves (snap), Delete removes, Erase deletes on click; Esc: draft → selection → select tool → View; decor renders under rooms, visible everywhere, inert outside the editor; stored in space.decor (rev/lock, backend schema) [auto]
• Opening hover preview (v1.32.1): with the Opening tool, hovering near a wall shows a dashed 90 cm ghost snapped onto the wall (with a center dot); no ghost far from walls, over an existing opening (click = edit), or in other tools [auto]
• Split polyline + cursors + Esc (v1.32.0): Merge shows a pointer cursor, Split shows pointer until a room is picked then crosshair; the cut can be a polyline — start on a wall, intermediate clicks inside the room, finish on a wall (path drawn live, walls/self-crossing rejected); Esc walks back: last cut point → room pick → back to the Draw tool (same for Merge: selection → tool) [auto]
• Merge/split pick highlight (v1.31.2): the first room clicked with the Merge tool (and the split-selected room) gets an amber outline + fill; visible over the blue markup outlines [auto]
• Card vs tool conflict (v1.31.1): in the Plan editor, dragging/resizing or clicking a room card never feeds the active tool (no draw point, no delete-room confirm, no merge/split pick); clicks past the card work [auto]
• Room cards (v1.31.0): with metrics enabled in space settings (4 checkboxes: temperature, humidity, avg Zigbee, lights) the room name gets a smaller metrics line under it; lights show On/Off or "1 of 3" when partially lit; rooms without an HA area show the name only; in the Plan editor cards show the name only, are draggable and resizable via corner handles on hover (uniform scale 0.5–3, stored in layout, survives drag); View mode has no handles/hover [auto]
• Esc closes dialogs (v1.30.4): Escape closes the topmost dialog (opening info, device info, icon rules, general settings, device editor, opening editor, space dialog incl. abandoning an import queue); stacked dialogs close one per press; Esc while drawing still undoes the last point [auto]
• General settings gear (v1.30.3): the header cog is visible in every mode (admins), opens the palette dialog from View too [auto]
• Editor tabs (v1.30.2): only two tabs — "Plan editor" / "Device editor" (no View button; View is the default state); clicking a tab opens its bottom toolbar (Devices got its own bar with add/show-all/reset/rules); the bar and the active tab both show an X that returns to View; re-click on the active tab does nothing; Plan↔Devices switches directly [auto]
• Space gear (v1.30.1): the cog next to the space name is visible in every mode (admins only), vertically centered with the tab text; clicking it opens space settings without switching the tab; "+" tab stays Plan-only [auto]
• Lock action (v1.30.0): opening info card (View) shows Unlock (red) when locked / Lock when unlocked; button calls the lock service; disabled while locking/unlocking; hidden when unavailable; plan-icon tap still never toggles a lock [auto]
• New-device flag (v1.29.0): a device added to HA after install gets a big red dot top-right of its icon (all clients); opening its editor clears it everywhere; upgrade/first-run seeds the baseline silently — no dot flood [auto]
• No devices at all in HA (fresh instance) → plan renders, "0 dev.", no console errors [auto]

Device dialog (markers) ★

• Open via info card → Edit; all fields persist (name, icon, model, link, description)
• Rebind to another device/entity/helper: search filters; already-placed candidates excluded; old position cleaned up [auto backend]
• Virtual device: requires name; room required; renders dashed
• Sub-area rooms (v1.28.0): a room WITHOUT an HA area appears in the marker room list ("no area, manual"); a device placed there lands at its centre, the marker stores room_id, reopening the dialog restores the choice [auto]
• Room override moves the icon to the room center
• Tap-action override select (default/info/more-info/toggle) saves and applies
• PDF/manual upload: ok path; >50 MB → readable error; .exe → bad-ext error [auto backend]; traversal names sanitized [auto backend]
• javascript: in the link field is not rendered as a clickable link [auto]
• Remove: auto device → hidden marker (reappears via dialog "show all"? no — stays hidden until re-added); virtual → gone incl. its layout entry [auto backend]

Icon rules ★

• ⬡ opens the editor with current rules (defaults if none saved)
• Test field resolves live; add/delete/reorder rows; first match wins [auto]
• Invalid regex highlights red and is skipped at runtime (other rules still work) [auto]
• Reset to defaults; saving defaults stores nothing (settings key removed) [auto]
• Custom rules re-icon existing devices immediately; per-device icon override still wins; lock devices keep mdi:lock [auto]
• Rules survive reload; second browser sees them after live-sync

Tap actions & gestures ★

• Default: tap → info card; card option toggle: tap toggles lights/switches/fans/humidifiers only [auto]
• Locks/alarms never toggle, even with per-device override [auto]; covers/valves toggle only with explicit per-device override [auto]
• Long-press (600 ms) always opens the info card, also when tap=toggle [auto]
• Drag > 3 px cancels both tap and long-press; pinch/pan never triggers taps
• pointercancel (touch interrupted) does not leave a phantom info card [auto]

Zoom / pan / labels

• Wheel zoom at cursor; +/− buttons; fit button resets; badge shows %
• Pinch zoom + two-finger pan on touch; one-finger pan when zoomed
• Zoom level persists per space (localStorage), restored on reload
• Window resize / sidebar collapse refits without distortion
• Room name labels: default at room center; dragging moves and persists (server layout, rl_*) [auto]; hidden in markup mode
• Labels legible on light and dark plans (no text shadow) at min/max zoom

Multi-client & concurrency ★

• Two browser tabs: drag in A → position appears in B without reload (live event)
• Config edit collision: stale tab saving gets a conflict toast, auto-resyncs, retry works [auto backend]
• Point layout updates from two windows don't overwrite each other's icons [auto backend]
• admin_only ON: non-admin user gets readable "administrators only" errors on every write path

Edge cases

• HA instance with zero devices/areas → onboarding works, rooms can be drawn, no crashes [auto]
• Space with zero rooms → renders; markup hint visible
• Room without area + borders ON → drawn, click does nothing, no area tooltip signal
• No zigbee devices anywhere → no LQI badges, lqi fill leaves all rooms unfilled [auto]
• 100+ devices in one space → build under ~50 ms [auto], drag stays smooth
• Very long device/room names → ellipsis/wrap, no layout explosion
• HTML/emoji in names (<b>xss</b>, 🚿) → rendered as text, never as markup [auto]
• Plan file deleted from disk → Repairs issue appears after config save/restart; re-upload clears it [auto backend]
• Corrupted .storage/houseplan.config → entry retries (ConfigEntryNotReady), no crash loop [auto backend]
• HA restart while a dialog is open → next save gets a clean error/conflict, no data loss
• Legacy layout entries (v1 {x,y} without space) are ignored gracefully
• Kiosk cold start on mobile app: card defined before dashboard render (resource registration)

Release regression quickies

• Browser console has zero errors from houseplan-card.js on: dashboard load, markup, dialogs, zoom
• HA log has zero houseplan errors/warnings after restart
• npm test (frontend), pytest tests_backend (pure), CI HA-harness — all green
• README screenshots/GIF still match the current UI (synthetic home only)

Last self-run

v1.21.1 (2026-07-16), full audit of v1.16–v1.21. All [auto] items pass (73 frontend tests, 12 backend). New smokes on the synthetic home: smoke_merge_split (merge fuses adjacent rooms keeping the survivor's id; non-adjacent refused with a toast; split creates the new room, cancel keeps the room whole, along-wall cut refused) and smoke_split_nonsnap. Finding turned into a fix (shipped this release): Split required the click to land on a grid node, so it silently failed on rooms whose walls are not grid-aligned (imported/legacy polygons) — the click now snaps to the nearest wall instead of the grid, and splitRoom() still rejects a bad cut. README (en+ru) gained the merge/split/ruler/scale documentation it was missing. The earlier self-run record follows.

v1.14.0 (2026-07-06), headless demo harness + unit suites. All [auto] items pass (43 frontend tests, 11 pure + 12 HA-harness backend tests, smoke_space_settings, tap/hold/wizard/rules smokes). Bugs found during the run, fixed in the same release:

1. Edit dialog: switching an existing space from image to "draw" kept the old background (plan_url not detached) — fixed.
2. _stateClass crashed on state objects without entity_id (domain is now derived from d.primary, which the state was looked up by) — fixed; found by the 150-device perf item of this checklist.
3. Perf item measured: 162 devices build in ~14 ms, re-render ~1 ms — well within budget.
4. (earlier rounds) long-press phantom after pointercancel; _saveConfigNow conflict without resync — fixed in v1.13.2. Unchecked boxes above (real browsers/devices, multi-tab live sync, Companion apps) require hands on real hardware — they remain for the human pass.

houseplan-space-card (read-only embedded)

• type: custom:houseplan-space-card, space: <id> renders the space identical to the full card's plan (background + configured borders/names + room fills + icons), no header/controls [auto]
• The schematic is fully non-interactive: click/hover anywhere does nothing — no more-info, no tooltip, no drag (.hp-static-stage is pointer-events:none) [auto]
• Footer button opens the full component already showing that space (deep-link #space=<id>) [auto]
• Several cards with different space coexist on one board; one shared config WS request
• Unknown space → tidy error card [auto]
• show_button: false hides the footer
• Full card honours #space=<id> on load and on hashchange; invalid id ignored [auto]

Presence ripples / per-device icon (v1.22.0)

• Marker dialog → Display = "Ripple only": the icon badge disappears, rings pulse while the entity is on, and collapse to a faint dot when it goes off
• Display = "Icon + ripple": both the icon and the rings are drawn
• Ripple colour and size (×2..×8) apply per device
• An entity going unavailable stops the pulsing (idle dot), never leaves it running
• Icon size ×0.5..×3 and rotation 0..350° apply per device; the temp/humidity badges scale with the icon
• Ripples still work with the card-wide "live states" toggle OFF (they are opt-in per device)
• With OS "reduce motion" enabled, rings do not animate

Doors & windows (v1.23.0)

• Markup → "Opening": a click away from any wall shows a toast; near a wall — the dialog
• A door placed on a wall renders jambs + leaf + swing arc at the wall's angle; length in cm matches the ruler/scale of the space
• Bind a contact sensor: open → leaf swings and the arc draws on in the accent colour; closed → leaf lies along the wall, arc hidden; invert flips this
• Sensor unavailable → the opening freezes at its static default (door open / window closed)
• A door with a lock shows the padlock badge: green locked / orange unlocked / grey unknown
• Clicking an opening (or the padlock) in view mode opens the info card with both states; the lock can NOT be toggled from the plan
• Flip toggles mirror the hinge side and the swing side
• Click an existing opening with the tool → edit dialog; Delete removes it
• (v1.23.1) Hovering an opening in view mode shows the accent outline + grab cursor
• Dragging an opening slides it along walls (re-snapping, incl. around corners) and saves on release; dragging far away from walls leaves it in place; hinge does not flip while crossing wall-segment boundaries
• Single click still opens the status card; double click opens the properties dialog; a drag does NOT open either
