Itching to see these haha. Jumped to the current latest version. No api reauthorization, no refresh integration or anything. Seamless.

Also 7+ since api reset and just 16 calls used!!

Others have said they havnt been able to use official tado ha one because they got after announcement and had 100 limit of which turning it in ises like 200. So they are pleased they can even add things now to HA!

Great to hear the upgrade was seamless! And 16 calls in 7+ hours - that's brilliant.

The Smart Comfort sensors have been running stable for about a few days now on my end. Just doing some final checks before release.

Should be ready for the weekend if you fancy giving it a spin!
