Upgrading

Always restart Home Assistant after a HACS update. New platforms (for example the Stage Started date entity) are not created until the integration reloads with the new code.

HACS update

1. HACS → TendrilGrow → Update.
2. Restart Home Assistant.
3. Confirm Settings → Devices & Services → TendrilGrow still shows each grow space.
4. Skim Changelog for the version you installed.

0.3.2 — Stage Started

Week In Stage is no longer an editable number. Stage Started is a date; weeks are computed from it.

• Changing Growth Stage resets Stage Started to today. Backdate the date if the stage actually started earlier.
• On upgrade, an old week number is converted (week 2 → about 14 days ago).

Cultivation Plan entity IDs (0.3.3)

0.3.2 could create generic ids (date.stage_started) while dashboards expected date.<grow_space>_stage_started, which showed Entity not found on every Cultivation Plan card.

0.3.3:

• Pins Stage Started and Week In Stage to the same prefix as Growth Stage.
• Rewrites storage-mode Lovelace dashboards that still list number.*_week_in_stage.

After update, reload TendrilGrow (or restart) and wait ~15 seconds. If a YAML dashboard still 404s, copy IDs from the device entity list or run scripts/generate_dashboard.py --apply (Dashboards).
