Hey Home Assistant friends - we've pushed a big batch of updates to the beta branches across all Apollo devices. Here's what's new and we'd love your feedback.
How to try it:
Follow our wiki guide to switch your device to the beta branch
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Changes across all devices
• ESPHome modernization: updated board spec, web server now v3 (nicer local UI)
• ⚠️ Breaking: Apollo firmware now uses Home Assistant's renamed actions. If you have automations calling any Apollo device services, you'll need to update them to actions.
• New: ESPHome + Apollo firmware version sensors (visible in HA)
• New: WiFi IP address text sensor

What we're looking for
• Any regressions vs the stable firmware?
• Does the new web server UI (v3) work well for you?
• Feedback on the new sensors (version, IP, NowCast AQI, CPAP, occupancy)?
• If you have a DPS310 pressure sensor, please test the new pressure offset and let us know if your readings are more accurate
• If you have an LTR390, try adjusting the update interval for your lux and UV index readings and let us know how it works
