v2.13.0

2.13.0 (2021-01-31)

Important Notes

• iPhones and iPads can be tracked with bluetoothLowEnergy now, which will give you much better performance and reliability than using bluetoothClassic. More details can be found in the docs.
• If you use the bluetoothLowEnergy integration on a pure NodeJS installation you should grant an additional permission for the optimal experience using sudo setcap cap_net_admin+eip $(eval readlink -f `which hciconfig`)
  • Not required for Docker, the Home Assistant add-on, Ansible installations or when you run it as root user
• Device trackers can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant now! You can remove your manual configurations after upgrading.
