Removing support/code for legacy device #57

Closed Baldhor closed 12 months ago

Describe the bug It's not really a bug, but a constraint ... Version 1.x introduced the requirement to accept the api permission. The result is that many users didn't migrate!

Also, many users still use the old driver, which is deprecated:

red is the old driver, green is the Wizard, blue doesn't matter

To Reproduce n/a

Expected behavior Enforce(?) migration to the latest version and to the Wizard!

My ideas:

1/ Publish a version 0.7.5 which will:

Send a notification every day (at 8am?) with the message : "You are using an old version of ESPhome application, please upgrade!"
Show a warning message on all devices with the same message!

2/ Include in the latest version of the application (1.x):

Send a notification every day (at 8am?) with the message : "You are using an old driver for ESPhome application, please upgrade to the Wizard driver!"
Show a warning message on all deprecated devices with the same message!

Requirements:

How to send a notification, last time I tried, I failed to do so :)
Translation in all Homey supported language!

Question: I need a message a little more marketing like "you will not reget it", "you will enjoy it", or whatever. Ideas?

I can't do anything for users that didn't accept the new api-management permission required. Lost is lost, let's focus on the future ...

I added notification and a warning for every legacy device.

Little stupid way, if the user has 50 devices, he will receive 50 notifications ...

warning: it means the device will be marked with a "warning" icon (with a message)
