Release v2.6.0 · meshcore-dev/meshcore-ha

Features

Structured query services for companion integrations (#216) — new meshcore.get_contacts, meshcore.get_channels, and meshcore.trace services return typed responses so companions don't have to scrape execute_command output.
SNR + hop count on incoming DM events (#215) — meshcore_message events now include hop_count (always) and snr (V3 firmware) for direct messages, matching what was already available for channel messages via rx_log_data.
Repeater neighbor sensors (#211) — per-repeater SNR and activity sensors with auto-cleanup of stale neighbors, plus an opt-in toggle and configurable airtime cost in the global settings.
Per-device online binary sensor (#209) — replaces the imprecise global device.connected flag with per-device binary_sensor.*_online entities derived from _last_successful_request timing.
Stale discovered-contact cleanup (#183) — new days_threshold parameter on clear_discovered_contacts, plus an opt-in daily auto-cleanup with a configurable threshold.
Adaptive RX_LOG poll-wait (#182) — replaces the blocking 500ms sleep on incoming channel messages with a 50ms-step poll that fires as soon as data arrives, with a background pass for late-arriving repeater RX_LOGs delivered as meshcore_delivery_update events.

Entity-identity stabilization (#201) — removes device name from unique_id (one-time startup migration), refreshes SELF_INFO after config-modifying commands, and adds missing async_write_ha_state() so frontend updates without a reload.
Map uploader (#200) — corrects ADV_TYPE_CHAT and points the uploader at meshcore.io.
Telemetry sensors (#191) — restores missing device_class and units on telemetry sensors.
execute_command AttributeError (#190) — removes a stale set_command_result call.

Migration on first start: #201 strips device names from unique_id once per upgrade; entities migrate automatically. Some users may see a brief reload as the registry updates.
The minimum Home Assistant version remains 2023.8.0.
