v1.1.5 - Fix critical API spam bug

Critical bug fix

This release fixes a critical issue where the integration could spam the Selectra API with hundreds of retries when the API was rate-limited (429) or temporarily down (503). One reported case showed 1392 retries in 7 hours.

If you experienced repeated "Failed to fetch initial details" warnings in your Home Assistant logs, please update to v1.1.5.

What changed

Fixed

• Integration no longer spams the API in a tight loop on 429/503 responses. Setup errors now propagate properly through Home Assistant's native retry mechanism with exponential backoff.

Changed

• Aligned error handling with Home Assistant 2025.12+ patterns. 5xx and 429 responses now use UpdateFailed(retry_after=...) so HA schedules the next attempt correctly.
• HTTP 5xx responses are detected before parsing JSON, preventing crashes when the API returns an HTML error page.
• Minimum Home Assistant version is now 2025.12.0 (required for the new retry mechanism).
• Auth, rate-limit and server-error logs moved to debug level to avoid duplicating HA's native logging.
• "No price data available for today" log moved to debug to prevent log spam.

Internal

• Replaced custom async_setup() with the official _async_setup() hook of DataUpdateCoordinator.
• Removed manual exponential backoff in favor of the native retry_after mechanism.
• New SelectraServerError exception for 5xx responses, distinct from application errors.
• Retry-After header parsing now supports both integer seconds and HTTP-date formats (RFC 9110).

Requirements

Home Assistant 2025.12.0 or later.

Thanks

Thanks to "bastgau" for the detailed report on the HACF forum that led to this fix.

v1.1.4 - Fix missing state_class on price sensor

Fixed: sensor.prix_actuel was missing state_class after v1.1.3, causing HA to stop tracking long-term statistics.

If you see the warning "L'entité n'a plus de classe d'état", update to v1.1.4 via HACS and click "Fermer" (not "Supprimer") to keep your existing stats.

v1.1.3 - Fix coordinator freezing between API polls

What's fixed

• Coordinator no longer freezes between API polls: Added local timer for HP/HC transitions. The integration now updates prices and period states in real-time without waiting for the next API poll (which can be up to 30 days for fixed-price offers).
• Custom off-peak hours now work: Fixed a bug where manually entered off-peak hours were not sent to the API.
• API token is now masked in the configuration flow.
• Sensor metadata fixed: Removed incorrect device_class and state_class on the price sensor for better HA compliance.
• Proper HA lifecycle: Added async_shutdown() cleanup and config_entry integration for stability.
• Code cleanup: Removed dead code, unused imports and constants.

Upgrade notes

• No reconfiguration needed. Existing settings are migrated automatically.
• Just update via HACS and restart Home Assistant.

v1.1.2

Fixes

• Tempo: period names now display readable labels instead of raw API keys
• Tempo: is_active flag now correctly matches selected periods
• 429 Too Many Requests: proper error message instead of generic "cannot connect"
• Backoff on API errors: exponential retry delay instead of fixed 15min loop

Important

After updating via HACS, a simple Home Assistant restart is enough. No need to remove and re-add the integration.

v1.1.1

Fixes

• Custom off-peak hours: proper TimeSelector UI instead of raw text field
• Config flow: cleaned technical labels (off_peak_hours* → readable labels)
• Coordinator: fixed selected_periods key-to-name mapping for backward compatibility
• Updated translations (fr, en) for custom off-peak step
