Valves, Events, and More

This release brings a new Valve component, which can be used to control valves. A Valve can be opened, closed, or a specific position set if supported.

Event entities were added to Home Assistant in 2023.8. They allow better structure and also history and logging of the events sent from ESPHome to Home Assistant compared to just using publishing events onto the Home Assistant event bus with the homeassistant.event action.

The datetime component has also been extended with DateTime and Time entity types this release.

ESP32 ADC Attenuation

The attenuation configuration option for ESP32 adc sensors has had a deprecation in the underlying ESP-IDF framework with the 11dB option. The value to replace 11dB with is 12dB. There are no functionality changes otherwise. There will be a warning in the logs when installing if you are using 11dB and it will be removed in 2024.8.0.

Remote Receiver tolerance

The tolerance option in the remote_receiver component has been extended to allow time values, but at the same time the validation is now more strict. If you were using a raw value with no unit before 2024.5.0, for example 25, you will need to change it to 25%.
