There are probably more optimal ways of achieving this other than
passing a reference to the full list of entities to each of the
entities, such as running a BFS to recursively expand all the entities
within the child hierarchy of an entity.
This is needed because the entity needs to know which entities aren't
direct children, but are two or more layers down in the hierarchy, so
they should be passed to their own child entities.
Remove `backend.sensor.distance` and `gpio.sensor.distance`. They are
now replaced by the `sensor.hcsr04` integration, which is compatible
with the new `SensorPlugin` API.
Removed `backend.sensor.dht` and `gpio.sensor.dht`. They have been
merged into the new `sensor.dht` integration, which supports the new
`SensorPlugin` API.
Removed `backend.sensor.accelerometer` and `gpio.sensor.accelerometer`.
The logic has now been merged in the new `sensor.lis3dh` integration,
which is compatible with the new `SensorPlugin` API.
Removed legacy `backend.sensor.motion.pmw3901` and
`gpio.sensor.motion.pmw3901`. They have been merged in the new
`sensor.pmw3901` integration, compatible with the new `SensorPlugin`
API.
Removed the old `backend.sensor.bme280` and the old `gpio.sensor.bme280`
plugin. They have now been merged into the new `sensor.bme280` runnable
plugin, which extends the `SensorPlugin` API and supports entities.
`backend.serial` has been removed and the polling logic merged into the
`serial` plugin.
The `serial` plugin now supports the new entity engine as well.
- Support for cloud instances as native entities.
- Using Marshmallow dataclasses+schemas instead of custom `Response`
objects.
- Merge `linode` backend into `linode` plugin.
No replacements have been made for the OBEX backends (push and file
services). PyOBEX is too broken and unmaintained, and there are too many
poorly documented steps required to get an unprivileged user to run an
SDP service.
