HomeCore Controller Changelog

1.0.3

• Replaces the old scan-first device setup with the expandable HomeCore Add Device catalogue.
• Adds HomeCore-led configuration flows for Shelly, Philips Hue, Yale Smart Living, Yale Home and Hive when their controller drivers are available.
• Adds catalogue entries and driver detection for Hikvision AX PRO, Heatmiser Neo/legacy, the newer Yale Smart Alarm range and Sky Glass so these can use HomeCore-compatible drivers without redesigning the UI.
• Adds setup variants for Hue Bridge/Bluetooth and Shelly Wi-Fi/Ethernet, Bluetooth and Z-Wave paths.
• HomeCore now starts and advances Home Assistant configuration flows itself; customers no longer need to open Home Assistant Devices & Services for supported products.
• Adds generic HomeCore form rendering for credentials, addresses, verification codes, menus, external sign-in and setup progress.
• After a product is connected, HomeCore immediately offers its discovered devices for naming, room assignment and favourites.

• Preserves the separate HomeCore Updater and manual per-controller Admin deployment architecture.
