What’s new
Version 2.1.1 · Updated August 17, 2026
This update makes background Live Activities far more reliable: - Re-running Set Live Activity with the same Activity ID now always updates the same activity - Dismissed activities are cleaned up automatically the next time the app opens - Updates sent while an activity is still starting are no longer lost - the newest content appears as soon as it is ready - Clearer, more helpful error messages in Home Assistant Tip: use one stable Activity ID per entity.
