feat(sensor): expose next action date/time for MiniBrew devices by Copilot · Pull Request #22 · stuartp44/hambrewclient

Copilot · 2026-06-25T19:56:23Z

This issue asks the integration to surface the date/time for the next required action (as shown in the app UI card, e.g. “Your action needed: Monday, June 22 - 23:07”).
This PR adds that value as a dedicated sensor entity for both Craft and Keg devices.

What changed
- Added next_action_datetime sensor entities for:
  - Craft devices
  - Keg devices
- Registered both sensors during device sensor setup.
Sensor behavior
- Reads the next-action date/time from sub_title.
- Only exposes a value when user_action indicates action is required.
- Returns None when no action is required / data is unavailable.
- Marks the new sensors as diagnostic entities.
Localization + docs
- Added translation key: next_action_datetime (strings.json, translations/en.json).
- Updated README sensor feature lists (Craft + Keg) to include “Next Action Date and Time”.

action = device.get("user_action")
if action == 0 or action is None:
    return None
return device.get("sub_title")  # e.g. "Monday, June 22 - 23:07"

Hi Stu, I downloaded the preview version. Unpacked it and uploaded the "minibrew" folder into "custom components"". I realoaded HomeAssistant. I cannot see the sensor Next action datetime or anything with next action. Am I doing something wrong?

stuartp44 · 2026-07-24T07:07:18Z

This is what I have got working so far, but I still have a brew on to see the full data.

You can see the "time in stage"

dut97 · 2026-07-24T09:01:54Z

I see time in stage on the minibrew itself. What I'm after is time to (or date and time) when next user action is required on the Keg's.
