Breaking change release 3.29.4
Release 3.29.4 has removed all drivers that have been deprecated for almost two years now. Devices still using these drivers will stop functioning within Homey if they aren’t re-paired.
Background story
In August 2022 a generic Shelly WiFi device driver was introduced which replaced all device specific device drivers. This was done to accommodate the ever growing Shelly eco system and making the app more manageable and therefor future proof. The device specific drivers where deprecated at that point in time as well. It was communicated that, for the time being these deprecated drivers would continue to function, but it was recommended to re-pair your devices with the generic driver as these device specific drivers weren’t maintained anymore. Some less used drivers have been removed since then but the time has come to remove them all because errors are occurring due to these unmaintained drivers.
I’m aware there is still a small user base that have missed or ignored all previous communication and is still using deprecated drivers. But extending the grace periode for even longer than the current 1,5 years will probably not help either. A phased approach with initial timeline warnings and disabling status updates will hopefully get the attention of at least a part of this user base.
