ESPHome 2024.10.0: Web server entity grouping

Oct 16, 2024

Web Server Grouping

For those that use the Web Server with version 3, there is a new grouping feature that allows for custom/user defined groups of entities.

This is also a breaking change as the previous web_server_sorting_weight has been moved into a new web_server -> sorting_weight configuration entry for the entity.

Please see Entity sorting for the latest documentation on these features.

ESP32 Advanced MAC Address Configuration

ESPHome now supports reading a custom MAC address from the ESP32 eFuse blocks and will read and use it by default if there is data burned into the eFuses. If you would like to disable this, or the eFuse has data burned that is not a MAC address into those eFuses, then you can add ignore_efuse_custom_mac: true to your ESP32 advanced configuration. See ESP32 Advanced Configuration for more details.

CSE7766 Breaking Changes

The Cse7766 now requires even parity in configuration. There are some chips that work without EVEN, but the majority of newer chips seem to require it and the older ones work fine with it set as well so to make it consistent across all devices the component now requires it.
