Changelog

All notable changes to the OpenClaw Home Assistant Integration will be documented in this file.

[0.1.34] - 2026-02-20

Changed

• Assist STT microphone capture now uses AudioWorkletNode when available, with automatic fallback to ScriptProcessorNode for older browsers.
• Reduced browser deprecation noise by avoiding ScriptProcessorNode on modern browser engines.

Documentation

• Expanded README voice documentation with practical guidance for voice_provider (browser vs assist_stt) and provider-specific troubleshooting.

Changed

• Lowered declared HACS minimum Home Assistant Core version to 2025.1.0 after compatibility hardening updates.

[0.1.33] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Reduced 415 Unsupported Media Type failures for assist_stt by fetching STT provider capabilities and negotiating metadata before upload.
• Assist STT now auto-matches provider-supported language values (for example bg vs bg-BG) when submitting transcription audio.
• Assist STT now aligns upload metadata sample rate/channels with provider-supported values when available.

[0.1.32] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Added configurable voice input provider option: browser or assist_stt.
• Chat card now supports Home Assistant STT transcription mode (assist_stt) for manual mic input.

Changed

• Voice provider is now exposed through integration settings websocket payload and card configuration handling.
• Continuous voice mode remains available only for browser voice provider.

[0.1.31] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Fixed Assist pipeline crash during intent recognition on some Home Assistant versions:
  • Replaced conversation.IntentResponse / conversation.IntentResponseErrorCode usage with homeassistant.helpers.intent equivalents in the OpenClaw conversation agent.
  • Resolves AttributeError: module 'homeassistant.components.conversation' has no attribute 'IntentResponse'.

[0.1.30] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Treated SpeechRecognition no-speech as a normal listening condition instead of an error.
• Reduced voice error noise by avoiding retry scheduling for no-speech events.
• Added clearer in-card status text for silence/no-speech scenarios.

[0.1.29] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Voice language selection now prioritizes the preferred Assist pipeline language (assist_pipeline/pipeline/list) instead of only using Home Assistant UI language.
• Added separate TTS language resolution so spoken replies follow Assist pipeline TTS language when available.
• Retained safe fallbacks to integration/UI/browser language when Assist pipeline data is unavailable.

[0.1.28] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Treat SpeechRecognition aborted events as expected stop behavior (no error status/no noisy console error) when voice is intentionally stopped.
• Added a stop-request guard to avoid restart/error churn during recognition shutdown.
• Synchronized release versioning so manifest, frontend loader URL, and backend card resource URL all use the same cache-busting version.

[0.1.27] - 2026-02-20

Changed

• Improved backward compatibility for older Home Assistant Core builds by removing Python 3.12-only type alias syntax in integration runtime code.
• Added fallback import handling for ConfigFlowResult in config flow type hints.

[0.1.26] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Added integration option allow_brave_webspeech to Settings → Devices & Services → OpenClaw → Configure.
• Frontend card now reads this option via openclaw/get_settings and applies it automatically.

Changed

• Card version bumped to 0.2.6 and cache-busting URL updated to v=0.1.26.

[0.1.25] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Voice input language now prioritizes integration/HA locale settings more reliably (including frontend locale fallback), reducing unwanted fallback to English.
• Voice-mode assistant replies now use improved speech synthesis voice selection for the active language and better voice-loading handling.
• Reworked chat pending-response tracking to support multiple in-flight messages without leaving stuck typing indicators.

[0.1.24] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Added proactive Brave browser guard for card voice input to avoid recurring SpeechRecognition network failures.
• Voice is now disabled by default on Brave with a clear status message and opt-in override (allow_brave_webspeech: true).
• Reduced noisy console output for network speech errors.

[0.1.23] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Improved handling for repeated SpeechRecognition network failures in Brave-like browsers.
• Added clear in-card status when browser speech backend appears blocked, and stopped endless retry loops in that case.
• Kept automatic locale fallback retry for transient speech-service issues.

[0.1.22] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Improved speech-recognition language handling by normalizing language tags (e.g. bg → bg-BG).
• Added automatic fallback retry with browser locale on SpeechRecognition network errors.
• Updated versioned card resource URL to force clients to load the latest voice handling logic.

[0.1.21] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Added automatic cleanup of duplicate/legacy OpenClaw Lovelace resources (/local/..., unversioned /openclaw/..., /hacsfiles/...) so only the current versioned resource is kept.
• Prevents loading multiple OpenClaw card generations (v0.2.0 + v0.2.1) at the same time.

[0.1.20] - 2026-02-20

Changed

• Added versioned card resource URL (/openclaw/openclaw-chat-card.js?v=...) to reduce stale frontend caching issues.
• Added runtime source diagnostics (import.meta.url) in card console output to verify which script file is actually loaded.
• Updated root loader shim to import versioned card bundle URL.

[0.1.19] - 2026-02-20

Changed

• Made custom_components/openclaw/www/openclaw-chat-card.js the single source of truth for card implementation.
• Replaced root www/openclaw-chat-card.js with a tiny loader shim that imports /openclaw/openclaw-chat-card.js.
• Removed manual-maintenance duplication between two full card script files.

[0.1.18] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Voice input now requires wake word only for continuous voice mode, not for manual mic usage.
• Added in-card voice status feedback (listening, wake-word wait, sending, error) to make microphone behavior visible.
• Improved handling for unsupported speech-recognition browsers with explicit UI status.

[0.1.17] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Improved chat history recovery after leaving and returning to dashboard.
• Card now retries backend history sync when websocket is not yet ready.
• History merge now updates when message count is unchanged but latest message content/timestamp differs.

[0.1.16] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Added configurable wake-word support in integration options.
• Added optional always-on voice mode in integration options.
• Added websocket settings endpoint (openclaw/get_settings) used by the chat card to apply integration-level voice settings.

Changed

• Chat card voice recognition now supports two modes:
  • Manual voice input without wake word
  • Continuous listening with required wake word

[0.1.15] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Added integration options for prompt/context behavior:
  • Include exposed-entities context
  • Max context characters
  • Context overflow strategy (truncate or clear)
  • Enable tool calls (execute_service / execute_services)

Changed

• Service and conversation requests now apply configurable context policy before sending prompts.
• Optional tool-call execution now mirrors Extended OpenAI-style service tool usage and feeds execution results back into a follow-up model response.

[0.1.14] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Fixed Assist exposure context lookup to use Home Assistant's conversation assistant identifier (conversation) instead of assist, which could result in empty exposed-entity context.
• Added backend in-memory chat history and websocket endpoint (openclaw/get_history) so card responses are recoverable after leaving and returning to the dashboard.
• Normalized default session handling to default for service calls/events/history, avoiding session mismatch drops.

Changed

• Chat card now syncs history from backend on mount/initialization to restore missed assistant messages.

[0.1.13] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Added native Home Assistant Assist entity exposure support to OpenClaw requests.
• OpenClaw now includes context for entities exposed in Settings → Voice assistants → Expose.

Changed

• Service chat (openclaw.send_message) and conversation agent (streaming + fallback) now pass exposed-entities context as a system prompt.

[0.1.12] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Improved response parsing for nested/modern OpenAI-compatible payloads (including output / nested content shapes), which could previously result in missing UI replies.
• Applied the same recursive extraction strategy to both service-based chat responses and Assist conversation fallback parsing.

[0.1.11] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Chat card no longer waits forever when the gateway returns a non-choices[0].message.content response shape.
• openclaw.send_message now extracts assistant text from multiple OpenAI-compatible formats (choices, output_text, response, message, content, answer).
• Added fallback event emission on API errors so the frontend always receives a response and exits the typing state.

[0.1.10] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Made custom card registration idempotent (customElements.get(...) guards) to prevent duplicate-load exceptions that can block card discovery.
• Prevented duplicate window.customCards entries for openclaw-chat-card.
• Synced registration hardening in both packaged and root www/ card scripts.

[0.1.9] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Updated Lovelace resource registration to use Home Assistant 2026.2 storage API (hass.data[LOVELACE_DATA].resources) with legacy fallback.
• Prevented silent resource-registration failure caused by reading the old hass.data["lovelace"] key only.

Changed

• Updated hacs.json minimum Home Assistant version to 2026.2.0.

[0.1.8] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Removed false-positive config-flow warning for enable_openai_api=false when Supervisor options are missing or use a different schema.
• Frontend auto-registration no longer gets stuck after an early startup failure.
• Card resource registration now retries for longer and can recover on integration reload.

Changed

• Frontend registration task is now de-duplicated while running and marked complete only after successful Lovelace resource creation.

[0.1.7] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Resolved chat card startup race where Lovelace resources were attempted before HTTP/Lovelace were ready, causing Custom element not found: openclaw-chat-card.
• Frontend registration now retries and waits for Home Assistant startup readiness before giving up.
• Static JS path registration is now idempotent and only marked successful after the path is actually registered.

Added

• Added MIT license file at repository root (LICENSE).

[0.1.6] - 2025-01-01

Fixed

• Integration "Not loaded" state caused by hass.http.register_static_path() being called in async_setup before the HTTP server is ready
• Removed async_setup and the synchronous _async_register_static_path helper
• _async_register_frontend is now a proper async function, safe to fire-and-forget from async_setup_entry
• Supports both the HA 2024.11+ async_register_static_paths / StaticPathConfig API and the legacy register_static_path API with automatic fallback to /local/ URL
• Frontend registration errors are caught and logged as warnings — they can never crash the integration load

---

[0.1.5] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Automatic Lovelace resource registration — the chat card JS is now served directly from inside the integration package (custom_components/openclaw/www/) via a registered static HTTP path at /openclaw/openclaw-chat-card.js. The integration also adds it to Lovelace's resource store automatically on first setup. No manual "Add resource" step is required.
• async_setup() registered so the static path is available before any config entry setup runs.
• lovelace added to after_dependencies so Lovelace is ready when we attempt to register the resource.

Changed

• openclaw-chat-card.js is now shipped inside custom_components/openclaw/www/ (in addition to the top-level www/ for backward compatibility with HACS installs that copy files to config/www/).
• If programmatic Lovelace registration fails (e.g. Lovelace not loaded), a clear warning with manual fallback instructions is logged instead of silently doing nothing.

[0.1.4] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Connection probe no longer uses /v1/models — the OpenClaw gateway does not implement that endpoint (only /v1/chat/completions is registered when enable_openai_api is enabled). Unrecognised routes fall through to the SPA catch-all and return HTML, which caused every connection check to fail with openai_api_disabled even when the API was actually enabled.
• async_check_connection() now POSTs to /v1/chat/completions with an empty messages body. The gateway's auth middleware validates the token first, then the endpoint returns a JSON error for the invalid body — proving server is reachable, API is enabled, and the token is accepted. No LLM call is made.
• Coordinator polling now uses async_check_alive() (lightweight base-URL GET) for connectivity, with async_get_models() as a best-effort call that is silently ignored if the endpoint doesn't exist.

Added

• New async_check_alive() method — simple HTTP GET to the gateway base URL to confirm the gateway process is running (does not verify auth or API status).

[0.1.3] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• async_check_connection() no longer silently swallows OpenClawApiError. Previously any API-level error (e.g. gateway returning HTML) was caught and converted to a generic "Cannot connect" message with no indication of the real cause. The error is now propagated to the config flow.
• Config flow now catches OpenClawApiError separately and shows a clear, actionable error message: "openai_api_disabled" — pointing the user to enable enable_openai_api in the addon settings and restart.
• Auto-discovery now logs a WARNING when enable_openai_api is false in the addon options, making the issue visible in the HA log before setup fails.

Changed

• The enable_openai_api addon option (default false) must be true for the integration to connect. The /v1/models probe endpoint requires the OpenAI-compatible API layer to be active.

[0.1.2] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Removed non-existent /api/status and /api/sessions gateway endpoints that caused the integration to receive HTML pages instead of JSON, resulting in ContentTypeError on every poll and a failed config flow connection check.
• async_check_connection() now probes /v1/models (the only reliable GET endpoint on the gateway) instead of the missing /api/status.

Changed

• DataUpdateCoordinator now performs a single /v1/models request per poll cycle instead of three separate requests (/api/status, /api/sessions, /v1/models).
• DATA_GATEWAY_VERSION, DATA_UPTIME, DATA_SESSION_COUNT, and DATA_SESSIONS report unavailable values (None / 0 / []) since the gateway does not expose dedicated status or session endpoints.
• Removed _model_poll_counter (no longer needed with a unified poll).

Added

• Integration icon and logo (sourced from the OpenClaw Assistant add-on).

[0.1.1] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Added content-type guard in _request(): when the gateway returns a non-JSON response (e.g. HTML redirect/login page), a clear OpenClawApiError is now raised instead of an unhandled aiohttp.ContentTypeError.

[0.1.0] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Initial release of the OpenClaw Home Assistant Integration.
• Config flow with automatic add-on discovery and manual host/port/token entry.
• sensor platform: Status, Last Activity, Session Count, Active Model.
• binary_sensor platform: Gateway Connected.
• conversation platform: native HA Assist / Voice PE agent backed by the OpenClaw gateway /v1/chat/completions endpoint (SSE streaming supported).
• DataUpdateCoordinator polling the gateway on a configurable interval (default 30 s).
• Service calls: openclaw.send_message, openclaw.clear_history.
• Lovelace openclaw-chat-card custom card (www/openclaw-chat-card.js).
• HACS-compatible repository structure (hacs.json).
