• HTC Vive (V1) - Added support (work in progress)
• Multiple entity types per device - switches, sensors, and buttons

🔘 New Entity Types

• Switches: Main power + Standby mode (V2 only)
• Sensors: Device info, power state, channel, firmware version
• Buttons: Identify function (V2 only) - blink LED to locate devices

⚙️ Advanced Configuration

• Options flow - Adjust timeouts, scan intervals, and sensor preferences
• Configurable BLE timeouts (5-60 seconds)
• Custom device names
• Enable/disable specific sensors

🔧 Technical Improvements

🔗 Connection Management

• Advanced BLE connection pooling and retry logic
• Intelligent failure recovery with exponential backoff
• Connection semaphore prevents adapter overwhelming

🏗️ Architecture

• Complete rewrite with modern async/await patterns
• Device abstraction layer for V1/V2 support
• Proper Home Assistant device registry integration
• Translation support and comprehensive error handling

🚀 Performance & Reliability

• Intelligent caching of static device information
• Adaptive scan intervals - fast for dynamic data, slow for static
• Robust error recovery and timeout protection

📋 Migration Notes

• After upgrading, check Settings → Devices & Services for your migrated devices
• Each base station becomes a separate integration entry with rich device information
• Remove old YAML configuration manually after confirming migration success
• All existing automations continue working with the same entity IDs

🎯 What's Changed

• From: Manual YAML setup with basic switch control
• To: Auto-discovery with comprehensive device management, multiple entity types, and professional-grade connection handling

Upgrade today for automatic discovery, enhanced control, and a much better VR base station management experience! 🎮✨
